Forza FERRARI!!!

The bumping on Leclerc's onboard looks pretty bad

[elnano14]

Different to the previous practice, we're kind of slow here. Not sure if we're sandbag or we're struggling with pace

[FerrariF60]

The bumping on Leclerc's onbard looks pretty bad

yeah, even though the circuit has new ashphault, it is quite bumpy

[elnano14]

On mediums we're very slow in secor 1 + 2, but very strong sector 3

maybe we're not even pushing

[FerrariF60]

wow, we have no pace at all, medium or soft

looks like it's gonna be a long and miserable weekend for us

[FerrariF60]

this makes me laugh, even Haas is faster then us, REALLY???

[elnano14]

Since 2022 we have been fairly mid here, not even the 2nd fastest team either in 2022 or 2023

The SF24 does not like sector 2

[elnano14]

Norris
18.046
36.194
16.305
1:10.610

Leclerc
18.210 => +0.164s
36.459 => +0.265s
16.238 => -0.067s
1:11.038 => +0.428s
We lost the whole 4 tenths in first 2 sectors

Missed FP1. I gather from the timings that each team has a different agenda re fuel load etc
I'm hoping we were trying out a heavier fuel load than those around us

[Greig]

The usual Friday moaners around I see.....

[FerrariF60]

The usual Friday moaners around I see.....

yeah, that's me
i dont' have much faith, at least for now....but we'll see how we do in sprint qali and race, and i'll asses my expectations after that

[subfire91]

Well lets see. Race pace from FP1 seems good though:

Leclerc 1:13.5 (20 lap mediums)
Verstappen 1:14:4 (23 lap mediums)
Norris 1:14:7 (21 lap mediums)

[patrese86]

If you think Haas is quicker than us then I don’t know what to tell you

[nani_s23]

Is it new? Ferrari SF-24 suffers on Soft tyres single lap. We’ve seen all through out the season.
Either tyres aren’t ready for S1 or they overheat them in the final sector. Thats the challenge which cannot be overcome for this season & Ferrari said will try to address with better warm up laps or next season with new new design.

Verstappen 1:14:4 (23 lap mediums)

I read somewhere , that we did a sprint sim , while others did race sim. Hence the difference

we'll find out son enough what kind of pace we have

[PURE PASSION]

OMG .Are we SO SLOW ??!!!

[PURE PASSION]

PPPfff .We just run dfferent program with 2 laps

[FerrariF60]

guess that HAAS has genuine pace, so far at least

[PURE PASSION]

In this track with colder temperatures, highlight our problem to prepare the tires in a fast lap on low fuel. IF we managed to qualify in the top 5 would be fantastic

[PURE PASSION]

Im confused. We did 3 laps or we pit for new softs ? And Norris was on new softs in his last mighty lap or on the 1st set ??

no one is allowed to use softs in q1....oNLY medium
the mclaren were MIGHTY compared to us on the same tires

[elnano14]

Sprint qualifying so all must use only 1 set of mediums in Q1

[elnano14]

Lando just did a 1:09.4 on USED mediums

That car is a rocket...

[PURE PASSION]

Yehh , sorry i ment used mediums for Norris .

[PURE PASSION]

So it looks like McL has clearly the upper hand here. At least to finish right behind them so we dont lose a lot of points for the championship

[FerrariF60]

Lando just did a 1:09.4 on USED mediums

That car is a rocket...

yup, sadly ours is a DONKEY
