On point. All the talk regarding that this car has potential but they need to unlock it by finding setup solutions is just cheap talk at this point. Turns out that they need fundamental fixes as soon as possible. A very bad look for Vasseur. I have a hard time to believe anything he says at this point.
His internal track record is not great, when we see the loss of performance in the last 6 months. Media is an important part to ask for accountability.

Very much on point. Tifosi have all the right to ask for accountability.

Numbers don’t lie. This is since 2023, Vasseur is our TP since January 2023.
So you expect Fred to turn around a team to title winners in 2 seasons? Maybe you need to lower your expectations as there is a lot of work to be done.
Love how you ignore the up-turn in performances last season though.
I remember the Italian media calling for Todt's head in 96.....short term vision never changes.
Forza Ferrari
And I love how you seem to ignore the bad performances this season. Vasseur has to step up. He needs a quick turnaround. Todt was on a different planet in comparison. He recruited all the elite talent he needed. Vasseur only got Serra at this point. Too little, and too late for 2025. He has to accelerate immediately.

I guess I have to lower my expectations. It’s not like we nearly won the WCC last year…
Ιts an odd situation .
1st me personally dont even want to talk about replacing Vasseur . dont think thats its HIS fault and cetrainly there no point replacing him . If a new scenario with a new name (like Toto or Horner ) AND with a whole new team would come up , i would discuss it , just to try pur luck once more not that i would expect immediate results. The point is that i dont think its his fault . He is just the "receiver" of the disappointment from this downfall.He is the head (of the racing team) so as everywhere in the world and on all profession the head of the department take the blame for nor reaching the expectations.
For me the bad "image" and what dissapoints me most is that , last yeat Vasseur was on to the point since day 1. The team (Cardille ) give him the development plan witch was based on Spanish updates . That failed and vasseur reacted , removing cardille , and explain the situation to the world /media //fans, how's the situation (without finding cheap excuses and chewinghis words) and that they need time to figure out what to do and how to try anf turn things around (and still that the car had design flaws that cant solved completly) .And thats what happend . So last years managementfrom him was 100% perfect as a true leader acts.
This year hes acting differently. He came out and declare (on the launch) that we are ready to fight for the championshis. The car is great. And then we failled dramatically and he start acting like a poor manager just trying to find excuses . So the odd thing is why he presents2 different approaches from last year?? Me explaination is that the team has no idea whats going on . No clear picture . No true plan to give him . Only constant failed excuses . everything they think is wrong and solutions to fix it , witch find on the simulator , proved fault on the track . And all this "failure" of the technical team reflects on him !!!!!
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
Serra arrived too late, therefore there were missing a technical director until his arrival. Vasseur filled the role until October. He had the responsibility to steer all departments during the development phase, and he clearly failed as we can see every weekend. Serra will improve things, but we still need more elite talent. Vasseur has to recruit them as soon as possible.
Cant blame him for that . He is not a real technician. He just filed the empty space. Dont know How Serra's fault is also from the time he took over and what he couls/can change. Thats the thing . I as a fan, i appreciate Vesseur to come out and say " ok we made some mistakes on the design and since the new team (under Serra) took over need tie to unidentify whats wrong and how to fix it. This is understandable. And since he realy did it last year (if thats the case) why isnt he doing it this year ? And instead he exposed himself with excuses thats proved wrong race after race ? So many unknowns and unfortunately to many bad scenarios .
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
Obviously our car is the same as last race, while others have brought various bits to this race, hence our sub par performance which most of us are not happy, but it is what it is
Do anyone know when we’ll have some updates coming? Is it the next race? Or will we have big update package in Spain.
The Barcelona rule change is just 5mm reduction in front wing flex. It’s nothing, it won’t solve a thing our end and it won’t provide a half second swing per lap in performance. Meanwhile McLaren will still race around having zero deg like they have for the last season and a bit.
I already mentioned the mixed situation instead of the SC, my bad. We were still slow in wet conditions right? Still a good call to switch to soft. I already mentioned that some department are doing a good job, strategy is much better than in the past. The car is still slow in Qualy.
i dunno. If my wing flexes in such a way where it effectively gives me a low downforce setup on the straights while running higher downforce overrall. I can now turn up to every race with an effectively higher downforce setup, and thereby have better tyre life.
5mm is nothing in F1?
5mm of ground clearance is worth .25 seconds per lap....

I will say this is a good post though. Obviously we don't know for sure.
It's better than Jgonzales and the average 64 IQ poster on here who would say "Since the Mclaren wings were legal in China they are therefore legal for the rest of the year". Which is a failure in basic thought synthesis.
