2025 Chinese Grand Prix - Race

[Aziz]

Max ahead.

But how?????

With our superior speed, and fastest car.

How??? What do you think, what is your expertise, you are probably some famous engineer. Tell us more

[Red is Best]

A pole, a sprint win and P5 and P6 not too bad considering we did not expect it to be a track to suit us.

Work to be done but we are not way behind.

Still 20 seconds from the lead. We were doing OK until the last third of the race. Then it went downhill.

Yup … we need some performance upgrades to bolt on to this car.

Seems like we are 4th fastest behind McLaren/Mercs & RB.

[nani_s23]

Leclerc should give place back to Ham

Yeah last 3rd of the race has not been good for some reason.

[Nomore]

Bad race, was expecting better. Ham slower than sprint, charles need to give place back to Ham

[PURE PASSION]

So and so
Not happy but not too sad .
It all gonna go down to how good/ fast can we find the sweat spot / evolve the car.
Just on hold for now !!!!

Yes last year Ferrari were much further back for a group of racea from Canada and came back strong. McLaren were further off the pace than Ferrari arr now last year until Miami. It's very frustrating but it can still be turned about. It seems really small margins in actual performance that compound over the laps.

[Lesky]

Leclerc might have finished 3rd if we had moved him past Lewis earlier tbh, he would easily be 4th at least, but probably 3rd. Indecision from the pit wall as usual!

[Aviamata]

Next race in Suzuka we will have our first upgrade package . It better working

[Red is Best]

I think they should have swapped Lewis and Charles at the end.

McLaren will sail through this season

It's still early but it looks like it.

[nani_s23]

Yup.. although leclerc looked fastest of both in the proper race.

[stefa]

I think they should have swapped Lewis and Charles at the end.

It was only fair to be do

[GoodtimesF1]

I don't think it was smart of Charles to fight Lewis if he was going to the end of the race. I think it cost both drivers a position.

[Lesky]

I think they should have swapped Lewis and Charles at the end.

They have should ordered Lewis to let Charles by earlier in the race, then Charles would on the podium 3rd.

I don’t think so by looking at the sprint … ferreri had the pace. Something went wrong.

[nani_s23]

Mclaren are beatable. It’s just Ferrari need to get on top of this car. ��

dirty air

I think Leclerc used up his tires earlier in the race hence why Max was able to catch Leclerc and pass Leclerc. It was all about tire management with Max and he attacked at the end.

[nani_s23]

Mclaren continued their dominance from last year
Mercs improved alot
It’s RB & Ferrari who are struggling.

[patrese86]

We did well to get a sprint win, ourselves, Mercedes and Max are all relatively equal. We have a step to make to get to McLaren but that can be done, they did it last year.

[nani_s23]

Suzuka too isn’t a track for Ferrari.

[Hornet]

A pole, a sprint win and P5 and P6 not too bad considering we did not expect it to be a track to suit us.

Work to be done but we are not way behind.

Agreed. At least we did not leave empty handed.

Pace isn't there yet, but we managed well with what pace we had.

[stefa]

When one built good car, there is no such thing TRACK DOES NOT SUIT US!

I heard commentary saying it was Lewis choice to let Charles pass him.

If that’s the case, then it’s good understanding between team mates. Not sure about it.
