Wonder if the small turbo hurts them at altitude. They haven't been good around here in a while iirc and that seems to coincide with their "response" focused engine concept that they pivoted to for the GE era. I think they plan to change the turbo in future upgrades, not the one they introduced here. They definitely seemed a good chunk behind from Mercedes and RBPT engined cars on straight line performance. The fast corners at Silverstone should suit them better imo.

Ferrari obviously had an off day. The main factor, which drags down pretty much everything, is the abnormally severe lack of power/energy on the Power Unit side, which on a layout like this was devastating. On top of that, an inadequate setup came into play, very front-loaded, which maximized the soft tire's performance and qualifying lap time, but in the race ended up exposing the rear to overheating. I don't think these are unrelated issues: in the attempt to maximize cornering performance to minimize the power gap, they tried shifting the balance forward, but in the end the rear that was cooking prevailed, joining forces with the lack of horsepower in an inevitably devastating mix. Good race from #Hamilton, with a super overtake on lap 1 against a #Leclerc who today was clearly struggling more than him

It was like we had different tyre compounds to others in front even if tyres didn’t drop off like they did our battery harvesting and deployment is shocking worst on the grid and that needs sorting ASAP! That is our main thing that seriously needs addressing then we will be much closer on a regular basis. For now it will be track and track temperature dependent and of course if tyres stay in perfect operating window. Hate these Pirelli prescriptive tyres
