You watch something for so many years and still see new things
I’ve never seen so many pit lane speedings…a suspended race because of a broken track?
I think it might have been before Mercedes' upgrade, but it certainly doesn't look that way anymore. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt until next week. Monaco is a bit peculiar and Canada was quite cold.AR3-GP wrote: ↑07 Jun 2026, 16:18With what we are seeing today, there is zero chance that Ferrari has the best chassis.Emag wrote: ↑07 Jun 2026, 16:16The chassis could still be the best, but the problem is that people underestimated how good Mercedes' car is as a whole and assumed the PU was the only reason they were so good. A good PU can still make the difference in Monaco, but the chassis gets a bigger emphasis. The problem for Ferrari is that not only are they down on power, they're not meaningfully ahead (if at all) of Mercedes from the chassis side either.
This is Ferrari's best track and Merc's "struggle" track.

Yes, and he has every right to be thoroughly p*ssed off. The tarmac was just bad luck but making him serve Lewis's 5 second penalty was unforgivable. Ferrari should have called Lewis in a lap later; given that Kimi hadn't yet pitted it was an easy decision.SoulPancake13 wrote: ↑07 Jun 2026, 16:54I think LEC got unlucky with the ripped up tarmac and the issues he's had with brakes. He's fuming in the garage right now about the brakes.
