2026 Scuderia Ferrari HP F1 Team

Leclerc doing Leclerc things. Very poor...

It seems he is good with no pressure in Qualifying (its different kind of pressure) but he is very poor when someone is on his tail. I think Ferrari should also look at Verstappen in case Hamilton plans to retire as he is better in race and in qualy

Clearly this is the place to come for uninformed b*ll*cks.

Pathetic race from Charles...

I told you guys that missing FP1 was gonna hurt Charles.

Bad day at the office

“We closed the gap overnight three tenths, but we still are three tenths down today, or two-and-a-bit tenths down today, so it’s going to be very tough to challenge them tomorrow, but with a long run down to Turn 3, hopefully together we can.

“It’s great having Charles here as well, because we can hopefully work together in a strategy and try to apply pressure to them.”

Hmmm. Testing the team order waters already?!

I don't think so, no. If there are TOs they'll probably go against LH rather than for like last race. In the interest of the team, they'll probably put Leclerc on a 3-stop to repeat Barcelona's masterstroke, Hamilton on a 2-stop to hem in the Mercs. The opposite would require some acrobatics to get it to work.

If Leclerc can overtake Russell off the start and give slipstream to Hamilton they can secure a Ferrari 1-2 by the time they power out of Turn 4. Hamilton will hold up Russell while Leclerc builds a gap in clean air. If not, and we end the first lap with Russell-Leclerc-Hamilton, Charles is free to aggressively undercut Russell while Hamilton holds him back from responding since it risks exposing them to him on a 2-stop. If they do respond, whenever Leclerc comes round, Hamilton can let him through but Russell has to go through Hamilton which is much harder around here than in Barcelona.

There is no "my driver vs your driver" conspiracy theories here. The Scuderia is racing for a team victory, it's just objectively a big advantage that Ferrari have 2 cars vs 1 here.

Lovely dreams! Team victory?! Ha! Who sold you that hopium?!

Pathetic race from Charles...

He is lucky to have signed an extension earlier this year, because his recent performance is not worthy a seat at Ferrari

[Jambier]

The car is handling badly this tyres.

And LEC is overdriving them. One of his flaws is to overdrive when the car is not fast, hence being even slower than keeping it cool.

On that topic, HAM is much better, tyres management and understand how you can push the car

Can only hold my hands up and say my bad I did not expect this comprehensive collapse of Ferrari pace. Double shame that the mindboggling soft stint also cost Hamilton a position.

This race brings Ferrari back to reality. Mercedes is simply faster, and barring a true miracle where they break down every race, they will win the constructors' championship with several races to spare. And let's not even talk about WDC chances for Lewis anymore.

Ferrari's realistic fight is for P2 in the WCC, and even that will be difficult. Red Bull is improving and Verstappen is making the difference.

The car has been terrible on the C3 today. Horrible horrible race. The team has their work cut out for on the tyre usage.

[Fakepivot]

car ate tyres harder than sf23 wow... that was disapointing race

[Jambier]

I hope they will find a way to manage tyres with hot temperature, otherwise summer will be very difficult

[Hammerfist]

I told you guys that missing FP1 was gonna hurt Charles.

I’m afraid his problems are deeper than that. Ever since the crash at Miami he has not been good. There’s a fundamental issue with him and that car and the way it’s being developed.

[PlatinumZealot]

This is also a lesson that you shouldn't judge drivers based on their low periods. So many wild predictions were made. Never mind that I would have been fully satisfied if Lewis even finished close behind Charles at bogey track for him, some experts were predicting a full on wallopping too! But while I'm pleasantly surprised at both drivers, Lewis performing well, and Charles underperforming, I'm also humbled that we really have no chance to win any championships this year. The Mercedes engine is just too strong and our car seems to hurt the tyres on power tracks.
