If they can have a similar weekend to this one in Spa ( pre Kimi issues ). Hungary and Holland could be really good tracks for them and then you get the new PU for Monza,

It’s not over.
It's over for the championship. Merc is still such a clearly better overall car. But there's still some good results to fight for.

Hungary could be really interesting, letting Ferrari's aero stretch its legs without having the PU hurt it as much.
In the next 3 races, we need to maximise our points, and from Monza onwards the drivers will have new engines (ADUO-2) fitted, which will allow us to fight for the wins on merit.
Ferrari were only 4th best car just last race weekend on Sunday. Merc haven't spent one weekend where they weren't fastest or at least equally fastest.

Ferrari aren't championship challengers. The car has strengths, but Merc is a much better overall car.

On a different note, I can remember people calling RedBull’s Macarena wing a better version (because, no matter what, british teams will do a better job of course! :lol: ) due to it rotating the other way around and closing faster, thus minimizing sudden downforce losses? And now this very issue has made Verstappen to crash twice in a row despite the fact that it requires less rotation and is much easier to develop compared to Ferrari’s wing?

Weren’t all the other teams also supposed to come up with a Macarena wing within a couple of races? What about McLaren’s, btw? It seems it’s not so easy after all. :)

The SF-26 is a masterpiece.
I do not think the difference in the rotation direction is related to the failure of the RB wings...
It is the mechanical side, not the aerodynamical.

It must be a setup change, as they did it between the sprint race and qualifying.
Including software changes as a possibility.
It allowed Leclerc to take corners with better stability, can be something about car rotation, suspension, in corner acceleration....

It is…but things can change. Two of the next three races should suit this Ferrari package. And if they do, everything comes down to the update.

Have a little hope with your bowl of sports.

I always have hope. Hope never dies.

But I'm just being realistic about what I think we should reasonably expect.
