Looks good, I like it. Next year is ours, fastest and so on. And FV as TP, so finally some positive feelings.

A Valentine's Day gift for us tifosi which proves to be a winner with reliability and power will be something to cherish!

Will be called VALENTIN!

i just hope we have a really fast reliable car even if it is ugly.

Agree. Let's have a monster car, that is fas and reliable, as F1 is not a beauty contest

[Brembo]

`And equal for both drivers! WCC points galore!!

Tired of the rumours, even if it turns out to be true. Keep your heads down, mouths shut and just show up and beat everyone!

And don't worry, if it turns out we found 1 second, Toto will be speed dialing his friends at the FIA to make changes due to safety, or to cry that we are somehow cheating.

ha, ha....you beat me to it....everytime Ferrari finds something to make the car quicker, they must be cheating or bend the rules somehow.....but IF Merc is quick, the FIA is turning a blind eye and nothing happens.....OR they let it fly for the rest of the year and ban it the next

but in Ferrari's case, we had to modify the floor mid year and raise the ride height so that Merc would start to be competitive again.....bunch of BS if you ask me

it seems like Ferrari of OLD has lost its way and have NO say about it anymore....and now Merc is pulling the strings

[PURE PASSION]

when according to the rumours Ferrari's development is going more than well but i'm not allowing myself to believe it until i see it with my own eyes

Exactly; I’ll believe it when I see it.

I promise I won’t get too optimistic again, (like i used to do in previous years) if we excel in winter tests and top the time sheets; I will wait cautiously until the beginning of the season, and after 4-5 races it should give us an idea if we have a BEAST of a car or not and where exactly we stand against the rest.

Ferrari are going to have to create a beast of a car to offset strategy.

Hopefully this will be the one.

[Brembo]

After 5 races if we are not in 1st we will again more than likely be among the losers! Almost is nowhere!

[aroutis]

We will need to see what happens this year on 2 fronts :
1. strategy
2. delivery of updates in the season.

This is what will decide the season, I have faith that the car will probably be faster than even the RBR at the beginning (and unless cheating big time, Merc of course).
And, of course it's time Elkkan stops the doormatt treatment in politics.

See the thing is, all the updates the teams will bring during the year will be dictated by the BUDGE CAP, one cannot just throw parts left, right and center at a car anymore. So the updates that Ferrari will bring they MUST work if we are to keep up with red fools and Merc during the season.

It’s gonna be interesting to watch which team will bring a LOT of updates and which team will be vocal about it like Matia was last season.

Time will tell

That's 1 second faster than last year's car, which was slower than last year's Red Bull. It doesn't mean they will be 1 second faster than Red Bull.

Chief drsigner, but it was december rumor
The rumor now is about Enrico Cardile to become TD

The car was often as fast as the RB last year, but not able to keep pace in the race after RB optimised its car.
We can find 1s on the simulator, the rules are new
The thing is that we have to partly review our concept and probably to copy RB a bit
But the RB was better than our car and so Newey has a lead now
It may be difficult for us, but who knows...

If not for the tyre degradation issues, race pace would be have been competitive for most of the races.

Hopefully this is sorted out.

Right
It appears that it was due to a floor load deficiency that we were unable to correct any longer by adding drag due to our power loss and the effectiveness of the RB aero
We have to find the load by reworking the concepts of our floor and our sidepods
In the meantime, in a context of budget restriction, the RB can push forward what it already has and also new ideas.
And Newey never runs out of ideas
I hope we will have the right weapon, but RB is favorite

Have there been any leaks as to what the team gear is gonna look like?

Whatever it looks like, I hope Ferrari will finally start making shirts/polos in DriFit material. So many other teams use this material and it makes for a better fit and feel. It also helps when your watching a race in direct 30 degree sunlight lol.

So Schwartzman practiced in the SF71 two days ago in Fiorano................Sainz practiced in the same car yesterday and Leclerc practiced in the same car today. Vasseur was present today with Leclerc.

I saw staff and drivers and nothing indicated to me of the new 2023 team gear. It all looked like last years team gear.
