Bahrain will give us a much better picture of how things stand. I think there is just too much speculation going on now, though I got a feeling it isn't just a wrong setup. Maybe Ferrari struggled with tyre temperature management.

[HPD]

Thats what I think.
All that loss of performance just because of bad management of the tire..
All those engine problems ... I do not buy it

Marko: "but once we got them to the right temperature, the performance gain is incredible."

[Godius]

Did Ferrari use the rear wheel rim and hub design that was developed by Mercedes last season for tire core temperature control benefit?

[dfegan358]

Definitely engine issues. Binotto claimed huge gains in cooling over the winter. Seems the improvements are not as good as he thought.

Bahrain very important for Ferrari.

Don’t buy the fuel saving either, Ferrari engine is surely one of the most efficient. Think they possibly underfuelled. But mainly running conservative engine modes for reliability concerns.

Vettel is not a top driver, but if one thing he is very good at tyres management.

Then regarding performance, there are many footage on which we can hear engine cutting, drivers complaining, and whe also saw that tyres were in bad shape

Regarding tyres and setup, it's very strange this difference with Barcelona... I hope it is not temperature related, because then they will have a lot of work.
If it's just setup it will be alright soon.

For the engine, I remember that Renault had this winter issues as well with MGU cutting too early HUL said.
So I assume there is this issue for Ferrari, and maybe also a safe mode due to exhaust failure.

Overall, as always in F1 it's an addition of many things going wrong. But I 'm sure pretty soon they will be well ahead of RB

I tend to agree, they will regret dearly replacing Raikkonen and his development work...

Also the simulator work Kvyat was conducting Friday night, I am hearing from the grapevine that Wehrlein's work is subpar...

[Harvester]

From what I have seen so far ferrari doesn,t like hot conditions. They were significantly better in practice 1 and 3 when the track temperature was lower.

Last year one of the reasons they lost championship was because they couldn,t match mercedes in wet conditions. Gemany and Hungary clearly showed that. Maybe they tried to fix that and now they struggle in hot conditions.

I don,t think they have serious engine issue. In the race they were probably heavily undefueled especially Vettel. They were hoping for safety car as that was their only chance to beat mercedes.

[dfegan358]

Ferrari used to be better than merc in hot conditions.

[Jambier]

Ferrari used to be better than merc in hot conditions.

Yep they were. It still difficult to understand how possible it was to see them in bad shape in Australia

Regarding engine, there are many sites talking about it

I wonder if both Kubica and Ferrari are both now really dissapointed that he is not there doing that vital work for them. Not that Ferrari were not in the first place but right now with hindsight it may be even more of a regret.

Usually they all go back to one source, with the rest quoting eachother. We do have Leclerc's radio messages. Was there anything peculiar in there?
