CL FL
Charles fastest Lap and Ollie p7
Charles P3 with the FL
Beaman P7 on his debut. What a drive.
Fastest lap Charles!! 🤙
Andiamo!
Charles fastest lap on the last lap? Heh? Why didn't we at least try to push Perez as he had 5sec penalty? Nevermind... Podium and great job from Mr. Bear!

Best we could do barring issues with the RB!
Good effort all round!
I really don't understand why Ferrari signed Hamilton tbh.
It should be BEARMAN
Didn't watch due to Saudi + Firstappen but a massively good job by Oliver under very difficult circumstances. Charles did his job but it's clear the car needs a lot more downforce and quickly.
Not going to buy a subscription for the equivalent of 65 USD/month at this point for sure. Might as well throw the money into the Baltic Sea instead...
Bearman was impressove
Charles consistent P3
As i predicted before this season is gonna look like 2020 but instead of HAM BOT VER we have VER PER LEC now
Charles said on the radio that he struggled with consistency during the middle stint. They are gonna check it later.
Quite good result .
Lec's fastest lap saw that we have the speed. Ves also tried to set the FL byt come 0.1 sort. Not saying that we are faster , but it looks to me that , maybe we run more conservative on the race ??? Maybe from what happened to Hul ???
Lets see what will come next .
Bearman was FANTASTIC !!!!!!
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
If it brings Newey/few other big names to Ferrari, then I'm all for it. But if not, then I don't understand.
I like Lewis and always paid respect to his immense talent. But he's old and not getting younger. Bearman on the other hand is young and extremely talented.
So, yeah. I know Lewis signing Ferrari has destabilized F1 paddock but it's not making Ferrari stronger, but if he attracts some good names, then ok.
So at the end of day we finished 18.639 seconds behind Max and only 4.996 seconds behind Checo (with his 5 seconds penalty).
People can say whatever they like, but this is a massive improvement. Considering how much poor we were here last year.
Incredible job by the Scuderia. But we need to bring some upgrades asap and close the gap to the Red Bull.
It definitely seems like Russell has Hamilton's number now. However I think looking at the bigger picture like you say with Hamilton, he can bring more than just what he does behind the wheel, which is Mercedes personnel and also Red Bull because they are UK based and we have a British driver next season will influence decisions. Clearly Fred wants the top talent from rival teams and he's getting the O.K to go and get them
Personally i have the feeling that Ham is not coming just as a driver to try and get the championship with Ferrari. Of corse if the opportunity arises he will take it no questions asked. BUT the "deal" ,especially, from Vasseur prospective is the "package" that comes with Ham , and the PR things , the followers and social , the team value etc. As for the driver prospective , im pretty sure that the team still consider Lec to be their driver to try and win the championship .
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
Great effort by Oliver Bearmen - P7 on debut & good drive by Leclerc-P3 to bring some points.
I guess Ferrari were conservative going with loaded set up to protect the tyres. In a way it’s giving advantage over rest of the pack but we are loosing top speed over RB whenever leclerc qualifies front row it’s a problem. He can neither attack nor defend.
I assume engineers in the factory are trying to understand strength & weakness of the car as it’s just 2nd race of the season before they bring up upgrades which improves performance & take fight with Perez atleast.
So there are few modes Ferrari use during the race.
Mode: race, the most optimized mode for the race.
Mode: TS, probably low power mode but I'm not sure.
K1: Probably the overtaking mode, aka the highest power band mode.
K2: Not as powerful as the K1, but better than mode race.
Mode: ABS for tyres, probably reduces the wheel spin and improves tyre life.
Engine 4 and Torque 4: the lowest power mode available.
Whenever Charles used mode: race, he's laptimes were very good. Especially in the first two sectors. But most of the race he didn't bother with it, probably cause Perez is long gone and it would push the engine, plus he had no one to challenge him from behind.
He never used K1 once, only used K2 after during the restart.
So Mercedes has Kimi Antonelli as their rookie driver whom is up-and-coming.
Ferrari has Ollie Bearman as their rookie driver.
Advantage Ferrari I say.
It's not how start but how you finish.
Only RB can run with such set up & still able to produce high top speed. None others can do that.
