2023 Monaco Grand Prix - Race Thread

[racingbradley]

We need to regroup as a team before any great changes to the car are made. Maybe if given time the new TP can build a team capable of winning races. We have a long way to go.....it's certainly not an overnight fix.

[paolo lalli]

We will all be in wheel chairs have hearing and sight loss by then w.ho gives a rats **** anyway

[JPMFerrari]

Bring back Ross Brawn.

Well, Ferrari got a helping hand this weekend, thanks to Perez's crash. Now they can study the RB floor with visual reference.
But whether they can extract anything consequential is up to a guess.

i'm afraid Ferrari are so CLUELESS, red bull can give them their floor as a present and they STILL won't know how to reverse engineer it to make it work on their car....the whole engineering department is lost

We definitely need to have a better strategic pitwall. The call for intermediates was too late. And Sainz didn't do a fast lap before his pitsstop. He didn't do that. Ocon had a bad stop but managed to be on front of Sainz. However i am not at all impressed by Xavi. He needs to go.

If we end up behind merc in the wcc. We do get more windtunnel time. Not that it would help us much. Unfortunately.

[Super M]

You know, this is crazy. race after race we blunder and mess up, year after year.

At this point either the team are utterly incompetent and useless or there's some insider sabotage going on.

it's utterly baffling but intensely disappointing and frustrating.

One has to start thinking , Is it the higher archy that's deliberately wanting Ferrari to fail, Is there big money in the making in the backround , because i simply cannot believe we're this bad ????

There is one common thing we have been following since last couple of seasons “Scrap current season development & focus on Next year’s car”.

With the arrival of few key figures from RB & Wind tunnel usage, it should be better at least for 2nd in WCC next season.

Allegedly we have secured David George. Anyone else?

The forum responses are down a lot the comments echo the same rhetoric Pain, anger, and frustration. Ferrari 4th best team in 2023 may be 5th.

yeah, because all the low quality posters drive away any good posters. There's like 3 users here who have good quality posts. The rest is just noise. And those good quality guys, don't post often. Because it's harder to make a good quality post as often.

Someone mentioned another engineer from RB aero dept.

[paolo lalli]

I admire fredricks view that the race pace was there and that the critics are being harsh about the speed of the car.Charles said we are miles away so there is the first contradiction.whom ever is right or wrong is irrelevant the Sf 23 has so many other issues compared to redbull.

Ferrari could swap cars with RB and they would still be behind them. If there was a strategy team, track operations championship Ferrari would be in Formula 3.

[paolo lalli]

Formula bananas more like it.

To be fair, at least we didn't put the boys on slicks when the rain came down!

you mean like Aston did with Alonso???
it was a gamble indeed, no one new how long the rain would last,,,, could have been just a small shower and then Alo would end up being the winner strategy

oh well, we have bigger issues then that.....at least out pit stops are quick and spot ON....slowly we're getting there

If there was any track for Alonso to win, it was Monaco. They(Alonso) started with the hard tire. Redbull(Max) kept waiting for a SC to pit Max but it didn't happen since Max was on the medium tire. If it wasn't for that pit stop when putting a slick tire on Alonso when it rained, Alonso would have won the race. Alonso even called for intermediates during the race on that first pit stop......but the team put him on slicks and Alonso had to come back for intermediates hence Max's 28 second lead to Alonso at the end of the race.
