2024 Brazilian Grand Prix- Practice, Sprint & Qualifying

[elnano14]

P3 + P5 on clean side

This is a track that's easy to overtake so that's not bad

Once again we struggled with tyres warmup, lost ~2 tenths in sector 1 then nearly another tenth in sector 2

Hope we have race pace to challenge McLarens for the Sprint & Race. Because it looks like they will qualify ahead of us.

As I said, Soft tyres on this car during quali is a big issue. Ferrari are counting on Race pace, they want to qualify ahead of just behind of their competitors so that they can challenge for the victory. Last few races indicate that trajectory.

As i said before. Since this hole weekend with track characteristics,temperatures, new asphalt etc, looks like the worst case scenario for us , at least to finish right behind them . The goal is to minimize the points loss. Everything better would be a dream. If we manage to leave Brazil with less then 40 points from McL, i think we will have a very good chance for the championship !!!

Norris with rocket ship couldn’t outqualify Piastri & he’s fighting for WDC.

Sunday’s is a race a lottery (anybody’s game), as chances of Showers are very high. Ferrari drivers & team need to be outmost perfect to capitalise in any situation that comes in.

Sprint quali was 15C cooler than practice 1, and considering our issue with the tyre temp, I think it was a good effort.

Im afraid if we end up being more in trouble we a wet track/colder track temperatures. Again ,if with all these "bad" scenarios that this weekend is offering us , and still manage to more or less equal them on point gathering for the weekend ,or even better to surpass them ???!!1 Man it would be EPIC !!!!!!

I believe team learnt from the past & they’ve improved operationally. I expect a good race & 1mclaren DNF.

Track temp is very important for ferrari sun shine please.

Interesting grid. Piastri will be asked to help Norris of course, but Piastri is not that helpful. But: Charles is a good starter so he has a realistic chance of being second after turn one. That will also have Verstappen on Norris' back immediately. If things go well, the sprint will then turn into a race between Piastri and Charles. Norris and Verstappen will drive eachother off track of course and so Carlos can secure P3. Two Ferrari's on the podium is my scenario. I'm only not sure of Charles being able to get Piastri.........

Anyone against my little race scenario?

Even imif Lec couldn't pass Piastri and the end result is like you said, would be a very good result for the team

Just saw it.
We also finished 3- 5 in WEC hypercar pole.
And TOYOTA 1-2.

[Cavallino]

if it really is going to rain, i think we should think about the engine change.

But we don't have all the information.

Somehow Mclaren aren't at all concerned.

If Leclerc makes a jump on Norris at the start then he has realistic chance of finishing P1 in the sprint.
Piastri race pace isn’t that good.
