Let's hope you can pay attention to them in future, but I doubt it as you already stated today you won't follow Ferrari anymore but here you still are....

I would have left but I find you childish name calling, of people who express their opinions, fascinating.

As opposed to your childish name calling of the team we are here to support?

Yeah very good point. So we can assume you don't stand by your words here and as such we can dismiss your comments entirely.

The team has proven that they are incompetent for many years now, but you attack people who stats that this team is full of overpaid underachieving non logical we are checking entities.

What are you? A Communist? We can't express our opinion?

Suggest you brush up on the forum rules you agreed to when joining, don't like it then leave.

Don't hide behind forum rules 🤣

They are not hidden anyone can access them.

The frustration comes from the fact that there was too many concerning things going on post those three practice sessions. We didn’t have the pace in qualifying and as a result we ended up having to use used tyres on our last run, even on fresh tyres the pace wasn’t there and the grip wasn’t there through sector 3.

After qualifying there was reports coming out about the plank wearing and we had to adjust the ride height, not sure if this has been confirmed anyway but if true this wasn’t something we saw only until after P3? If true that’s poor. If we’ve adjusted things for quali because of the forecast then we also went the wrong direction if that was the case.


No matter the driver this car is distinctly average in wet conditions and has been for a long time.

Then we have the continued issues with driver communication, no wonder we’re a meme at this point. Even Charles still has issues and he’s been with us for years now.


Lastly the calls on the pit wall were woeful and we resorted back to panic and indecision.

If just one of these things were true you could say well bad day at the office but promising signs but we did everything we could to turn the weekend even worse after those practice sessions.

It’s only right we are frustrated when we ended last season strongly, arguably the best car if not then second best and now we find ourselves closer to Williams and Racing Bulls

[Greig]

The strategy was to hope the rain was not as bad and we could stay out on slicks and maybe steal the win, sure it looks bad in hindsight but it was probably worth a try since we were nowhere anyway.

Sorry, but that’s not a strategy. Same old Ferrari.

[Greig]

Well yes it was, you know Red Bull tried the same right?

[The Architect]

Neither setup nor strategy worked this weekend. More mistakes than I'm used to with Charles. I really hope the next race is better otherwise this year is going to be a series of tough lessons.

[FerrariF60]

He is not the holy grail.

You’ll see come 2026 when his totally designed car will be a rocket

[FerrariF60]

His record says otherwise

I 1000% agree with you
Gregg is delusional

[FerrariF60]

And a year ago they were 1-2 here.

Looks like we downgraded the car by changing 99% of the components on it….lmao

[FerrariF60]

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

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

Well of course…even a 5 year old knows that
That McLaren is on a different planet. Gentle on its tires when it needs to be, fires them on quickly AND don’t overheat like our, red bull and the rest of the field do

[FerrariF60]

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.

…yes we were quick, then we changed the car 99% including a new front suspension and now we’re twiddling our thumbs not knowing how to fully optimize it. McLaren have had 2 years with this suspension type and red bull 3…..THEY ARE THE MASTERS

[FerrariF60]

The easy option, was mirror redbull.

That’s a big as from a team like Ferrari
They like to mess it up on their own

It’s so easy to do. Just mirror RB/Max in mixed conditions and you will be finde. It’s the easiest thing to do.

[Red is Best]

I find Vasseur's post-race interview rather concerning: "China is not a track that suits us" he said.
But if Melbourne, a start-and-stop city track is not suited to our car, and neither is a fast flowing circuit like Shanghai, where exactly are we going to be competitive?

He's "predicting" the future for China so the inevitable mess up doesn't hurt Ferrari fans that bad. He knows what's coming for China.

[Hornet]

In my view, McLarens have build a great car this season, a car that is fast and stable, and so they will do well in all conditions.
They will probably have the upper hand in the first few race, and as Max showed last season, it is so important to capitalize on the early advantage in case your rivals catch up with you mid season through.

The championship will depend on how fast Ferrari and Red Bull can catch up.
Max was able to do maximum damage limitation (in part thanks to Piastri misadventure), but unfortunately for us Ferrari, we took quite a big hit.

Hopefully we can quickly get up to speed, otherwise I can see the team may decide earlier to focus on the new regulations next year instead.

I don't see RedBull catching up UNLESS they swap out Lawson for Yuki. Nonetheless, it's one man carrying the team on his back. It's 2024 all over again.

[patrese86]

The way Mclaren can keep their tyres in the optimal window for the whole race regardless of track condition or degradation
is unprecedented and extremely suspicious.

1 spin, that didn't end up costing him anything? is that what we're referring to.


do better with the post here please.

[Cavallino]

really unhappy with the post quality here today

It’s simple build the fast car then such stupid pit calls will not bother if you have race pace.

Problem here is Ferrari never being consistent. Year in year out, they are not learning & coming up with a car which isn’t dominant.

When you finish a season like 2024, everyone expects Ferrari is in title hunt right from the start. Now they keep saying “Numbers match to the WT”, “Need to understand the car” oh common you did 3day testing & you’ve been in Sim for a week in week out. You want to understand the car at the last year of regulations?

Agreed.

Look, it didn't happen with a 2x WDC title holder.
It didn't happen with a 4x WDC title holder.
It's not going to happen with a 7x WDC title holder.

What's the definition of insanity?

[jgonzalesm6]

In 2024:

Sainz scored 25pts
Leclerc scored 19pts

Total cumulative pts = 44pts


In 2025:

Leclerc scored 4pts
Hamilton scored 1pt

Total cumulative pts = 5pts
