2025 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

Things may get better with more grip on Sunday. I would think they gotta risk it.

I agree.

There is zero chance of beating the orange cars with more downforce.

Car number 1 is also going to be a nuisance.

Car is terrible on long runs with fuel. They have to put something more in the wings instead of two sheets of paper that they have now.

What were the long run times?

every other lap was fast, those in between not at all

The team are confident:

LECLERC: "A DIFFICULT CAR, BUT FAST. I'M CONFIDENT; WE KNOW WHAT TO DO."

VASSEUR: "MAYBE WE WERE TOO AGGRESSIVE, BUT WE GOT OFF TO A GOOD START."

Seems like they went a bit further towards low downforce in FP2 (apparently trimming the wings) but maybe that was either too much or too early (ie the track will grip up and come towards that setup). As Charles says, a fast but tricky car is better than the other way around as they can make it more consistent overnight.

It’s only better if you don’t end up in the wall or in the gravel of course

[ToffeeTyres]

The car is so low on downforce it’s right on the edge will take every ounce of skill to keep it on track in parts let’s hope no mistakes because the car looks like
You will be off track any second when pushing on a qualifying lap

not sure if this is correct wing, in f1 tempo i see Charles is losing so much in lesmo 1 and 2

With Lewis they have no choice because of the 5 place grid penalty, no point being fast in the areas where you cannot overtake and slow in the areas where you can overtake.

With Charles they have options though so lets see what they decide on his side of the garage come qualifying.

Hamilton with a penalty and the team still sends Charles ahead of him on every attempt...

I'm on a plane right now so bad internet but do we know why Hamilton didn't give Leclerc the tow in qualifying at the end? Seems like it could've been a good option for us to try for a front row...

When push comes to shove, the gremlins in the car reveal themselves when maximum performance is required.

Neither could improve on their second run and sector two is just a mess…probably ascari to begin sector three, too

Fred said it was possible but the right thing to do was to prepare the outlaps properly and also that Charles never asked for it to be done

What's the difference between getting a tow from Hamilton or Tsunoda?
You will always get tow except for the first one.

Historically Leclerc doesn't like getting tows in qualifying. He finds it too distracting. The other thing is the gaps to the leaders. Lets say he is pole, Lewis will be P9 + 5 places = P14. They run the race. They finish P5 and P8.
