This.
Red Bull are a machine right now. They've found the right mix. Horner doesn't make excuses, he runs a tight ship, and supports his drivers. This in contrast to Binotto, who makes excuse after excuse for their horrid pit wall Ferrari have, and then wags his finger in Leclerc's face after races.
I think it's obvious Ferrari have been hit hard by the TD. The sudden drop in speed is too coincidental to not be connected. Remember, Binotto openly said Ferrari would be affected, while Horner said Red Bull wouldn't.
Interestingly, Mercedes had a massive drop in speed as well, so it looks like that for all their boasting, they must've been exploiting the loophole on floors, too. Typical, hypocrites.
We need an Enzo character for TP.
Someone who sees the potential in Charles and gives him maximum support.
It's a shame to see his talent wasted on race weekends.
Forza Jules
Ferrari actually have had a great car most of the year. Leclerc should've won Spain, Monaco, England, and Hungary, hands down. And I'd argue Leclerc could've won Miami had Ferrari pitted him on the late SC. He'd be either even or only slightly behind Max right now, instead of several country miles behind.
The engine failures in Spain and Baku are forgivable. The horrible race strategy, lack of proper team orders, and the TP wagging his finger in the star drivers face for the strategists mistakes, is absolutely NOT acceptable, and the people that've been making excuses for it are clueless. It is no way to run a race team in any series, let alone in F1.
Ferrari have a good development department. They should say. Everything else management wise should GO during the off season.
Ferrari has led in several races for 2022 but they manage to "mess-up" during the race by several factors i.e. DNF's, strat calls or driver error. One would think that all Ferrari had to do was cover the Redbull pit stops immediately or one lap later.....but that strategy call from Ferrari is out the window.
This Spa track is not suited for the F1-75.
It's not how start but how you finish.
Max will be tough to beat tomorrow. He's going to absolutely fly through the field.
No question that Ferrari have been hit hard by the TD, and I don't see how the hell they win.
I hate that term "it is not suited for that track"! It'a a race car! Good race race is good on any given track!!! For what exactly they are building them, if not for a race track to race?!
I don't recall F2002 and F2004, or McLaren MP4/4 ware not suited for some track.

Judging the time Max drove, isn't it time for us to question their legality....
Some positives
