2023 Australian Grand Prix - Race Thread

You are not a Ferrari Fan. You should start supporting McLaren again. It was clear that Sainz would get a penalty. Please read what I am writing and stop trolling. You should send yourself a warning.

I am not the one who supports one side of the garage, or cries for our driver to get a penalty. McLaren are welcome to you.

[tifosi1993]

I can understand the penalty, but it still makes no sense to start again. This is not fair for Sainz and the Alpines.

What is there to understand? It was a textbook first lap racing incident. Same reason why ******* Stroller got off at the beginning after hitting Charles

[nani_s23]

Grow a pair Ferrari and protest this **** decision.

Ferrari in F1 just to take prize money. They lost their power long way back.

[stefa]

Joke of a penalty, racing is dead in F1.

Long time ago!

[nani_s23]

I feel sad for Charles, not the best season for him

DNF is Bahrain
Penalty in Jeddah
DNF in Australia and with Ferrari reliability/Strategy errors more to come as the season progresses.

No one cried for a penalty, we knew what was happening. You don’t seem to watch F1 very often. This accident is a penalty in 9/10 times.

You are ok with rooting for poor performances, so McLaren is the team for you. You are no Tifosi.

[nani_s23]

Sainz did his best, as I said many a times in F1 you need some luck along with car.
Unfortunately ferrari is at the opposite end of the above.

[tifosi1993]

Whatever. If they don't protest this ****, then they shouldn't be in F1. Carlos deserved to be on the podium, let alone in the points. What happened today is totally unacceptable.

Can you name same penalties for t1 race start penalties. Let's see them McLaren fan.

You think Carlos was a poor performance today? yeah head to McLaren already.

[brucewayne]

Was Max even in his Box at the start? Maybe that’s a penalty…

Dude, you are already a McLaren Fan. We are Ferrari, we should compete with RB. Until then, I am not satisfied. You seem to be ok with P4/P5/P6. This is not what a Tifosi is looking for. So yeah, a good result for your McLarens I guess…

[tifosi1993]

What a nightmare start this season been so far.

Toto & CH fight for power for their respective teams. In Ferrari there’s none to voice out.

So you can't name any, what a shock.

[tifosi1993]

Only positive from today: The race pace was good. I hope they have finally found a good base setup for this car.

[jgonzalesm6]

Yeah, it doesn't look like it. Definitely out of his box.

[nani_s23]

First ferrari need to get their business doing with a strong car. You loose one or two but there will be confidence that you can win the rest. Sadly that’s not the current situation. This is going to be worse equal to 2020/2021

[brucewayne]

So you can't name any, what a shock.

I can, but it won’t change anything for you. So why bother? You are not a person to discuss with. So I won’t even try.

[brucewayne]

At least no RB win I guess… let’s see

[tifosi1993]

Fred is a well experienced team principal. I hope he will do what's right.

[Greig]

So you can't, while googling it try find a new team.

[jgonzalesm6]

They should review it......but does it really make a difference given the circumstances.

[brucewayne]

Just send yourself a warning for trolling.

[nani_s23]

Yup, I guess with this race pace Charles would have challenged P2 Hamilton & P3 Alonso. As they were setting FL even at Lap 40/45 so on…!!

[Greig]

Just send yourself a warning for trolling.

Still no examples then Ron?

Average gap from Red Bull

Qualifying
+0.2 Ferrari
+0.4 Aston/Mercedes

Race average gap now
+0.6 Aston =
+0.7 Mercedes (0.8)
+0.75 Ferrari (0.9)

With no bouncing W14 & SF-23 clearly recovered ~0.3”s on race pace.
Last floor spec working is only good news for Ferrari today.

@Giuliano Duchessa

It would have been better if Charles was in the race & true race pace should be an indicator.

It didn't seem to me that we had such a big gap in the race. Maybe because of traffic at the beginning, but later on we weren't that far off, 2-3 tenths from what I saw on the timing screen. I assume Charles would have been a bit faster still.

Was a whole lot of tyre management going on so would not look too much into pace today but at least we managed the tyres as well as others.

Yup. In general Sainz race pace is not the benchmark.

For RB- Max, AM-Alonso, Mercs- Ham & Russell, Ferrari - Charles.

The reason is Sainz doesn’t belong to above league.

On top of it, I believe RB too didn’t show their true race pace. Once Max got the lead it’s all about tyre management & conservative Engine.

[nani_s23]

Forgot to mention other point to be noted, Man that RB top speed is super. When they open the DRS, it’s like a hell of a thing.
