    Some work still to be done for us, Lewis seems to be more or less close to Charles which is a good sign. Tsunoda has made a good start I must say. And who is this Japanese Alpine driver Hirakawa? looks pretty decent

    Seems like SF-25 weakness is slow corners at the moment. Loosing everything in the final sector.

    Yeah looks like it.
    Piastri also struggled on his 1st run but then he edged NOR.
    Can we overcome this issue also ??!!

    Losing .5 s in the final sector in insane, SF24 was so strong in slow corners

    Don't worry rumours coming out that Ferrari have trialled some set up changes that will make FP3 so much fun.

    Mcl (Norris) don't even mention us in his interview. He talked about how fast Merc / Rus looks and that RedBull might pick up the pace in qualy / race, but NOTHING about Ferrari.
    How much I want
    They consider us midfield team and don't even look at us !!!:(
    How much I want us to beat them to erase this arrogance off of them

    And rightfully so, when Ferrari is HALF a second down why would he mention us? We are NOT a threat.
    We may as well pack it up and fully concentrate on 2026

    Will take Ferrari prolly more then half a season to finally figure out this new car with front pull rod and by then will be over as McLaren will so many points ahead of us that we’ll never catch up

    I really hope it will not be again like this.
    I try to hold a small hope that things will turn soon enough.
    It's really sad that years comes and goes and we're still on the back foot.

    It’s about the compromise for now. I believe coming races, with updates Ferrari might address this problem.
    Issue is they haven’t tested the car to the full limit during season test in Bahrain. They should have focused on it.

    What did they test the car for?????? I just don't understand this kind of "we don't give a F" attitude

    I believe Ferrari didn’t do their FL on 2nd set of soft tyres.
