2025 Australian Grand Prix - Race

[Cavallino]

Australia is an unusual track, we were very quick here last year and then went on a long drought.

I'd rather be quick at the ordinary circuits.

[Greig]

When you have no pace you take silly gambles on the pitwall.

Lewis is a rain master, and even he looked quite ordinary today.

Goes to show that car makes a big difference in the wets.

A fastest car works in every condition. Ferrari does have fastest car for 17yrs. That is a nightmare.

i don't think he looked ordinary when it started to fall hard at the end.

[Greig]

I'm not worried, I'll just stop watching this idiotic team. Really I just can't watch them anymore

Great news, goodbye.

[tifosi1993]

The was simply awful today. Had not answers to the sheer pace of the McLarens, Max and Russell, and barely ahead of the rest.

What an awful car. What an awful team.

[MSC Fan]

What worries me most is the complete lack of pace

At least it comes with the fact that both drivers complain about struggling with the car in some way or the other. According to DC, this means that there's potential for the car to be developed well but with only this one season left for the current regulations, I don't know if the effort is worth it.

Toto & Marko : McLaren the team to beat, after that RB Merc & then comes Ferrari.
Now it seems Williams also gained on us. Utter disappointment

[Cavallino]

we still have yet to see that if that dry race pace from Friday is for real

[tifosi1993]

i don't think he looked ordinary when it started to fall hard at the end.

He couldn't even make a overtake attempt on Albon. Then lost places to Charles and Piastri at the end. So yeah, he looked quite ordinary.

Rookie Kimi on the other hand finished P4.

[Cavallino]

but we absolutely have to get on top of qualifying.

honestly, they have to find a second a lap.

Charles should be able to outqualify Norris by 3 tenths with ease.

bad analysis. do better.

when it really started to rain, he cleared all those cars. straight to the lead.

What an awful car. What an awful team.

Oh yeah, what an awful team because they have a bad weekend! I swear, you bed wetting Ferrari fans are all the same. When the team wins, they're brilliant. When they have a bad weekend or two, they're the worst team on the planet.

[tifosi1993]

Toto & Marko : McLaren the team to beat, after that RB Merc & then comes Ferrari.

And Marko was right when he said they'd be 2nd best team in Australia.

I wonder Fred would say after today. Probably something like "today wasn't representative" or some other

[tifosi1993]

You mean when he was on hards and Charles was behind him in P3? Then why couldn't he hold his place on inters in the wet track?

[nani_s23]

Hulk - Binotto finished ahead Ferrari.

[paolo lalli]

Ferrari received exactly what they deserved,today sure it's a long season but boy oh boy something is seriously wrong.

[tifosi1993]

Oh yeah, what an awful team because they have a bad weekend! I swear, you bed wetting Ferrari fans are all the same. When the team wins, they're brilliant. When they have a bad weekend or two, they're the worst team on the planet.

Oh yeah, from P1-P2 a year ago to P8-P10 today. What a brilliant team.

What is worse is blind fans like you. Who simply can't see what Infront of them and lives in some lala land.

Did you even watch the race? Cause he compromised by the cars in front and Charles took advantage

[RossTheBoss]

I'm pretty sure Ferrari have good dry pace. This isn't new. The team have struggled in wet conditions for a good decade now. They never have grip in the rain.

I'd expect Ferrari to be with Red Bull and Mercedes in the next race or two.

[nani_s23]

Nope it won’t happen. At Ferrari talented drivers come & go, while opponents win titles.

[tifosi1993]

Yeah. Charles was P5 and while Lewis was stuck behind Albon. Then Charles spun and Lewis got ahead. Then Charles and Piastri overtook him at the end. Quite ordinary performance from him and nothing like the Lewis of Mercedes era.

At the start Lewis started great, it charles blocked him and put him back.

When Charles over took it was due to the cars in front.
Piastri tried a move that Lewis could have blocked but would have crashed them out.
It seems he was unlucky, nothing to do with bad driving.

So Charles wasn't allowed to race him at the start?

Not sure what you are trying to achieve here. Lewis looked quite ordinary which is a simple fact. He never looked fast. He couldn't even get close to Albon and attempt an overtake.

But I'm not blaming him. Ferrari is quite ordinary in the wets. Great drivers can't do **** in a car like this.

It rained so, yeah, that was going to jumble things pretty random.

In China they'll be in the top 5 again, but you'll still be wetting yourself at every pitstop, every corner, every place gained or lost. Seriously, go touch grass. It's racing. It's supposed to be fun.

We should be fighting for top positions not internal battle. Look at where we ended.

We are checking 🤣

I’m giving you an explanation, Charles blocked him at the start, this put him back, that is facts, if you want to rant and make something more out it that then yawn.

The easy option, was mirror redbull.

DRS wasn't available for a good chunk of the first few laps and when it did get enabled, the track started drying a bit and the inters started degrading. Pretty much everyone at that point started driving conservatively anticipating heavier rainfall to come to their advantage later on. Add to this, the fact that the car is tricky to drive (Lewis himself said this at some point in the race and it's also reflected in Charles having his laptimes all over the place mid-race are evidences for this) and yeah, it's no surprise that he didn't make too much of an attempt on Albon.
