Ferrari have confirmed the departure of Pat Fry and Nikolas Tombazis from the Scuderia, amidst a reorganisation that started when new team principal Maurizio Arrivabene came in charge. Arrivabene, Managing Director of {Ferrari}’s Gestione Sportiva and Team Principal of Scuderia Ferrari, has restructured his team with a flatter structure and clear assignment of responsibilities.
Why would you assume this is an indication of being "so bad"?Jano11 wrote:I thought they had it replaced in Q2.
Are Ferrari mechanics so bad?
yes ..he is qualifying performance and then in race , watch start of others rosberg, vettel and compare it with fernando , car is lot worse but still he managed to pull it through. people can say whatever they like but it is a fact that fernando has been saving ferrari from humiliation for years nowGridlock wrote:Webber once said "He's Fernando, if you gave him a wheelie bin he'd still be a threat" - that onboard (not to mention P4 in qualy with a totally compromised car) appears to confirm this is true.
Interesting throttle modulation, like you say.

the limit by FIA is not 15000 ?
when they will have maximum of power, perhaps they will can follow Mercedes... IMO

He let Aldo Costa leave for Mercedes and now he is working well in Mercedes, Allison was making a great job in Renault and now he can't deliver nothing in Ferrari, unfornately it seems it's something internal that doesn't work in Ferrari and clearly Domenicali can't solve it.
Red Bull with NO testing can make a better job than Ferrari and clearly they will be on top of Mercedes after the flyway races and will definetely make a gap after the midseason testing, from a Ferrari fan perspective it's becoming painful watching F1 and GP like we saw today.
Even Lotus is making improvements with a low budget.
Ferrari strong points isn't catching up, what bothers me most it's the chassis isn't that bad like previous years but the engine + PU is. Solving PU problem is doable, the biggest problem it's the engine with the engine freeze rules (rumours say iFerrari's engine it's some kgs heavier than competition).
Ok, is should have said "deliver new and different ideas", unlike the past years where Ferrari only gambled on a "semi-innovative" front suspension, nothing compared to Lotus and RedBull ideas.diffuser wrote:
I agree, Ferrari has tended to loose ground in he development race during the year. Thank god we're not watching a recording of 2013 cause we all know how that ends.... As for 2014 my crystal ball just keeps showing me a picture of Jame Allison.
BTW "he can't deliver nothing in Ferrari" is a double negative meaning he will deliver something. hehehe ... I like that idea better.
Has anyone noticed how Crucial_Xtreme and James Allison look like twins? Has anyone see them in the same room together?
Are you sure this is not just wheel hop? I'm pretty sure it is as it sounds exactly the same as it did with V8s.bhall wrote:ERS power is banned from the start until the car reaches 100km/h in order to prevent launch control. Watch the speedometer on the graphic in the video below and note the sound of the engine. Immediately at 100km/h, you can hear power delivery being quickly pulsed to give the car better traction. You can also hear it at the exit of turn 4.
It only seems to happen within a certain speed/throttle window, something like 180-200km/h and below while concurrently at or above 98% throttle.
In any case, that's traction control. However, teams will inevitably call it "driveability." I think this is what Ferrari's rumored software update will address. Maybe.
