2025 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

[ismail1991]

The car is looking worse with each passing weekend!
I have to say that Lewis is very childish! And I would add that in the end, with a huge helping hand from the strategists, Lewis cost Leclerc a shot at Antonelli!

I wouldnt agree with that. Lewis always tried to help the team previous races. He let leclerc go in China without teams asking. He had better tires he should have been let earlier by the team. He cooked his medium tires behind leclerc. Second swap happened when ham was only 2.2 behind. It was for nothing at the end. Ferrari is hopeless at managing this stuff. It was the same between Sainz - Leclerc. It will be the same between leclerc and hamilton. Ferrar strategists results this things happening. Btw I was thinking Sainz was more at fault but now thinking leclerc was the same To Sainz also

Leclerc was whining unnecessarily over the radio, guilt tripping the team about the swap.
Lewis was indeed right about the strategy. He had the softs and earned the right to use the full pace. Where Lewis joined Charles in the whining was when he asked if he should let Sainz by too.
But I think he knew that it was not the right time to swap. The right time would be at the end. He could have come within DRS of Antonelli, but I dont think he would have passed. Neither would. Car is just best of the rest right now.

I agree mate

"Now there will be a week-long break and then Formula 1 will return to Europe, with the first of the two Italian races, and Ferrari will have to try to redeem itself at Imola, where Frederic Vasseur is convinced that we will see a better SF-25. Will it also be supported by developments? "We will have something to take a small step forward and then there will be another step in Barcelona" he declared in the post-race interview with Sky Sport F1, but the focus should not be on developments "We need to find the best compromise with the car and put everything together"

Broken record ... it's totally a ride height issue.

My guess:

They saw the red flags in Australia and took precautions by raising the ride height mid-weekend.

Come Shanghai, they decide to see if their models are correlating with what is actually occurring on track and run the car at/near its optimal ride height (at least for the Sprint), and they again ran into plank wear issues.

From that point forward they've fully realized they must raise the car (at some tracks more than others) and its fallen off a cliff.

Glimmer of hope from Lewis, he says they know where they are lacking and are just waiting for a fix to come

I don't think he meant the fix is coming soon unfortunately, just that they know what the problem is. Which is the same as Leclerc said, they know the problem but that doesn't mean they'll fix it right now.



* Not sure if this is the same interview you're talking about, if there's a different one let me know.

It was his post race interview with Rachel Brooks on Sky F1

Lewis again saying the know what the issue is, theyre just waiting on a fix. maybe imola is the start of that

Vasseur: The focus shouldn't be on upgrades

The drivers: We need upgrades

Lol..

[ScuderiaLeo]

How can they admit Sainz had no claim to the racing line then go and say it was partially Hamilton's fault too? How is it Hamilton's fault at all that Sainz attempted a lunge he would've never succeeded in?

I'm glad Hamilton didn't get a penalty but it's ridiculous they even considered it.

As a Lewis fan, I have noticed early turn-in from lewis. On the other hand, Sainz clearly had a dive bomb. I was a little bit worried because Uncle Derek was the steward as far as I know

I think he’s saying that because the car is compromised and they need to work with what they have.

No way man! that's truly a colossal mistake if true and also if you think about it they've been pretty much lost on this front since the FIA passed TD039 3 years ago?

The fact that Lewis mentioned that “ they’ve known what the issue is since Shanghai” makes it quite clear that @catent is right.

Even if they manage to fix it, they are too far gone imo. McLaren is yet to bring an upgrade and all the other top teams are going to make another step soon too
