2024 Australian Grand Prix - Race - Ferrari 1-2

[Greig]

No. I'm not worried about Newey coming to Ferrari because it's not going to happen.

I would rather see Ferrari beat RedBull with Newey due to their progress within themselves. It's more admirable imo.

Another comment that makes no sense, why should Ferrari not try and hire the best people? Are you not a firm believer that Ferrari hiring Italians is a bad thing?

Great team result! A win in the first 3 races is amazing. Carlos gave an exceptional performance today. His drive was top class! I hope he wins a few more this season.

Well done to Charles as well. Finishing 2nd despite him struggling is commendable.

When does Perez's contract come to an end? Could he get replaced by Carlos in 2025?

🇦🇺 | Lando Norris experienced significant tire graining towards the end of the race. Despite having fresher rubber than Leclerc in his last stint, it didn't bother him much. While he managed to set a few fast laps on lap 19, he struggled to maintain a consistently fast pace.

If we can fix the Q3 issue then SF-24 would become a rocketship ! Tyre degradation of this car is amazing

Another comment that makes no sense.

Are all Ferrari F1 dept. personell Italians?

Ever heard of Ducati? Are they not all Italians? Don't they race Ducati bikes very successfully?

How bout the 499P in WEC after a 50 year hiatus from WEC? Isn't the car built by "Italians"? Doesn't AFCorsa have Italian drivers.

You always come across as condescending. If you say I have a comment that makes no sense then I can say you have a comment that makes no sense.....it's all.personal ones narrative.

I slept like a baby with the i-2 under my pillow! A very encouraging start to our season so far by the team and our two drivers, with special recognition to CS for coming back so well after his operation. Sustaining the projected development in the program and hopefully their positive effectiveness will keep us pushing (faltering?) RB and maybe we can tie up the CC this year!? Now more than ever continuity will be essential and I do very much still have grave doubts that 2025 musical chairs will benefit our team? Fingers crossed and let's bask in the delight that this win brings! FORZA FERRARI!!!

I will go find your posts on the matter, you want Ferrari to move to the UK.

[Cavallino]

what a win

Red Bull has these races where they're just no where.

We still need to improve on our consistency race to race and through the progression of a weekend.

Let's see where we are at in Japan.

If we can do a double podium, then let's get the update in Imola and see what happens.

[SilverSpeed]

A ferrari 1-2 on my birthday is the best gift I could have wished for. I'm ecstatic.

Haha same here .

Happy BD to you.

[Schaun]

It was a great win for Sainz just after a couple of weeks of his injury. It would be a great shame if he doesn't get a good seat next year.

[Cavallino]

just for the record,

getting rid of Sainz is a big mistake imo

[jgonzalesm6]

I will go find your posts on the matter, you want Ferrari to move to the UK.

IF things don't change with Vasseur like a WDC and WCC title(s), then YES I want Ferrari to move to the U.K. still.

[jgonzalesm6]

Horner confirms that Max's 1st PU can be re-used again. Max changed PU's for precautionary measures.

[jgonzalesm6]

With regards to Newey, what's more important to you:

1) Ferrari staying in Maranello to build F1 cars?

2) WDC and WCC titles?

[Silent Bob]

Think we have to give the whole Ferrari team a hand today. Strategy was spot on, Leclerc maximised his race and Carlos drove a great race. Pit stops amazing once again. Just need a bit more speed in the car and we are challenging RB regularly.

[Schaun]

After seeing the results so far this season a lot of Ferrari fans would be feeling the same.

1 and 2 which is why we will continue to try and improve and hire the best to come to Italy. They are not mutually exclusive.

[Cavallino]

lots to be positive about

we have updates in the pipeline, and we haven't even maximized what we already have. we still haven't had what i would call a clean weekend.

[jgonzalesm6]

Got it. You would rather wait all these years to possibly get Newey(closer to retirement) as opposed to moving to the U.K like 15 years ago and having a better chance at signing Newey while at the U.K.

Being in the UK does not mean you win. Newey being closer to retirement means very little.

[jgonzalesm6]

But being in the U.K. guarantees you Newey.

You would rather wait and wait and wait till Newey comes to Ferrari and live on the hope mentality as opposed to moving to the U.K. and would have gotten Newey 15 years ago thereby getting more WDC and WCC titles.

No it does not. You are making up fantasy again. What's your obsession with Newey?

[jgonzalesm6]

You said Newey would make Ferrari faster remember?

You don't think Ferrari F1 being in the U.K. would NOT have gotten Newey 15 years ago? .....fantasy you say.

Whatever dude.

Of course Ferrari would have gotten Newey 15 years IF Ferrari F1 was based in the U.K.

[Silent Bob]

Nope. Ferrari is Ferrari and belongs in Italy. Moving to UK will scrub some of the mystique.
If Newey wants to work for Ferrari, he will. If not, they have to figure out a way to win without him.
Like you mentioned, he might just retire, and we have the next best team so far.
But all additions that add value to the team are welcomed.

That's my point. Mystique trumps WDC and WCC titles. If Newey doesn't come to Ferrari.....Ferrari can wait for someone else.

[TTRSMAD]

I am very much happy for Carlos and Ferrari 1-2. Can 't get better than that but Verstappen had the pace to stay in front of Sainz if not for the brake failure.

Ferrari got the cornering down but still too draggy to stay with the bulls on the straights. They need a something to lessen the damage on the straights. That Red Bull in the hand of Max looked scary from Sainz onboard when DRS opened behind him.

Leclerc needs to figure out what changed when the technicians played around with the balance of the SF-24. Leclerc was having a hard time keeping up with Sainz in the 1st sector, the rest he was fine.

Has he worked at every British team then? as said your pullling fantasy. Let's deal with facts.

[Silent Bob]

Who said that? You can win the WCC and WDC while being headquartered in Italy.
Ferrari in UK....... may as well paint the cars British Racing Green.
But seriously. Even being in Italy, they seem to have some decent engineers, because we are doing better than a lot of British teams.
I would take Italy over Newey.

[Silent Bob]

After seeing the results so far this season a lot of Ferrari fans would be feeling the same.

I think we can look ack.and see Leclerc has been the better driver over the last 2,3 years. I think Sainz is a good driver but missing that little bit that would elevate him.to the elite level.
Let's remember....as Brembo reminds us so often.... even Rubens won a few races and out drove Michael at times.

I agree with this , currently we beat all British-based team except Red Bull . Even Mercedes hiring our guys so it's not necessarily that English engineers are better than Italian engineers

yep, and Sainz is better than Rubens was, and Rubens was better than people give him credit for, probably a number 1 at any other team, except against Michael.
