As for tyre problem, this is my opinion: It could be that SF-24 is so good and gently tp tyre (to improve degradation) that only 1 outlap is not enough to remove the outermost layer of tyre - which is very slippery. And then only at the 2nd or 3rd lap that the most grippy layer of tyre can be used .
Supposedly, the commentators and media said that teams copied the RB19 from a sidepod and suspension standpoint (front and rear) during testing.....well, you're already a year behind when you copy last years dominant car.
RedBull is thinking forward while everyone else is copying...hence we're at where we are at the moment. And that's because RedBull had a deficit to develop the RB20 car than everyone else.
Ferrari have been beaten in the past by other teams that don't sell production cars. Want a list of teams that have beaten Ferrari F1 in there own game that don't sell production cars?
It's not how start but how you finish.
I want Ferrari to maximize our chances tomorrow. I don't want Charles to end up outside the podium because of problems beyond his control.
Do we know what happened to the Haas? Why it stopped and what the issue is related to?
your post said suspension and sidepods.
also, Mcclaren produces road cars, as has Williams also to some degree.
Still, one of the special things Ferrari has done was mimic the ride height and anti dive characteristics while not copying the exact suspension layout.
Also, sidepods are overrated in this era of F1 car.
Great job by Bearman who barely missed out on Q3 after only learning he would be driving a few hours before. Looking forward seeing his performance in the race tomorrow.
I am aware of Ferrari's rear suspension for not copying RedBull in 2024.
I am also aware of Ferrari not copying the split-turbo design of the Mercedes engine of which Honda and Renault have copied since 2017.
Oh, I forgot that BRM and BrawnGP were 2 other F1 teams that beat Ferrari F1 that didn't make production cars...fyi mate.
Out of curiosity, please name me the production car that Williams F1 made. Not engineered or designed but physically made.

In formula1 copying has a limited time span.Aston Martin virtually cloned the Red bull last year and we know how all that ended for Aston Martin.The problem with copying is you have peaked with the copy and the original just keeps on evolving. I Strongly believe Ferrari has built a great platform with the current spec car and watching it evolve will be interesting this year.As always expect the unexpected.
Look like a dream team is coming
Charles pretty much extracted the maximum out of the car to split the otherwise dominant RB.
Also glad to see the new guy doing very well, considering that it was literally his first day in a F1 car. Hopefully he'll have more opportunities in the future
Carlos Sainz is already on the track, 24 hours after surgery (appendicitis). Elkann was also present in Jeddah. The presence of Oliver Mintzlaff is confirmed at Red Bull, having arrived together with Marko, with whom he had an important conversation in the hotel.
Commitment from Saniz is extraordinary. Good to see him back.
Williams is a technicality I am aware. But you can Google Williams Grand Prix Engineering and read about all their projects. Whether they actually got to market is another story.
Hey look, there's a lot of people here who have to improve their post quality around here, but being a non-Tifosi on a Ferrari forum, you're going to have a lot of eyes on you when you post those mistakes.
also, you forgot Benneton too, babe
