[PURE PASSION]

Very good long run pace.

Copmpare to others?

[SFTifoso]

Porposing seems to come in at higher speed and with less severity. Anybody got the published upgrades list?

[PURE PASSION]

Charles reports a weird behaviour of the engine in Turn 13/14.

It was posted in the first couple of pages of this thread. Looks like Ferrari only brought a new rear wing.

Sky is tying themselves in knots excusing George wiping the floor with the Affirmative Action Champion.

The simplest answer is that it was the car all along plus preferential treatment. Now he’s finally going up against someone in an equal car.

[nani_s23]

FP3 will be busy for both Max & Carlos.

I feel Carlos feeling the pressure because of fastest car. He’s pushing very hard

Didnt see it on the car

[BAT340]

Yes, they certainly should have gone after Bottas. This is what, three cars he has totaled already? He is killing the team. At this point, I'd bring up the reserve driver, he can't possibly be ANY worse. Jesus! What a clown he's turned out to be. And to think they let Vettel go for this asswipe!

Yup yup

Like I said, affirmative action champion.

But they will never admit it that’s why it’s so amusing to watch them squirt to come up with excuses.

During the long runs Ferrari/Charles wasn't losing any time in the final sector. But none had any answers to our pace in the first 2 sectors.

Can’t wait to watch the replay

Search “Bill Burr F1” on YouTube it’s hilarious and 100% true.

Just found it. I was hoping Bill Burr would be more Bill Burr but he was a bit too tame.

I was hoping for this C63EE5FD-591E-4A48-ACD7-6A8F5B30DED0.jpeg

Carlos really has to get his head into gear he is letting ferrari down big time, the pressure is obviously to much for him unless Carlos finds a way to real in his errors iam afraid his stay at ferrari will be short lived.With mercedes on the rise and back in the game ferrari need him more than ever to play his part otherwise the championship will slip away very quickly.

Why aren't we dominating the last sector? I thought this sector was tailor made for our car...btw don't like seeing the Mercs dominating traction sector.

[paolo lalli]

Any one who thought that mercedes would be down and out all season will be sadly mistaken, the only way is up and it appears to have started, as an organisation just way way to big to just simply fail.As i say expect the unexpected.In a way the salary cap is the only thing that holds all teams back.

Tbh even the drivers could not understand why they are this fast. That said the team need to taker advantage of every opportunity before Merc get in 6 th gear

[458 Italia]

I can see a merc pole coming ya know

[Rosso Corsa]

All teams have welcomed Ferrari back to the top. And I say welcome back to the races, Mercedes. And with the niceties done, I hope we whoop you good. It's a race to Abu Dhabi, now. See you there, beaches.

And come on, Carlos. We need those team points brah. Points points points points points.

[stefa]

I wasn't expecting Mercedes to bounce back that fast, honestly...

Regarding CS... I don't have words....

[speedmaster]

That top speed of Honda is worrying, 10km/hr up on Ferrari.

[Ferrarichamp]

I'm beginning to give up on our chances of winning WCC this year, you can't win the constructor's with just one car.
Too bad Sainz is turning out to be the Spanish Grosjean
I just hope Charles gets that WDC at least.

Especially if Mercedes, and they will, join the party. We need both drivers scoring points

[paolo lalli]

100% correct both drivers scoring points, because ladies and gentlemen its game on.

I don't care about constructors. It's in a twisted way even better if we don't win it as it would mean more time in the wind tunnel... All I care is the WDC and we should do everything for it. Meaning even setting a clear number 1 and 2 driver like in the Schumi years.

I beg to differ. I am Ferrari supporter in the first place, and to me CWC is very important indeed. Of course WDC for Ferrari driver also!
