What is the source for that?
To be clear, it was a member who shared this with me outside of forum, who has first hand info from Ferrari. And I clearly stated Leclerc "may" have pushed too much, it wasn't a statement of certainty...
Gotcha all understood on my side

It can no longer be considered a coincidence that all these strategy blunders keep happening to Leclerc, with a Spaniard as his engineer and another one in the factory still calling some shots. The clearly faster driver this weekend gets screwed over strategy and then a DSQ. The plank wear is a fallacy and I'm very interested in why the new podium finisher did not have his plank tested like Max, Hamilton and Lando did as original podium finishers.

Blunders keep happening and points keep getting lost. Vasseur needs to step up and make big changes. Otherwise, he might as well resign right away...

The 10 laps between 26 and 35 when Leclerc was lapping as fast as Sainz on softer tyre was an amazing effort. With any sane strategy, he had the pace to finish P3 ahead of Lando...
You are starting to sound like the "british media bias" tin foil hat conspirators.
I agree that leclerc is getting screwed like a tapped hole. But I think it's because he is always closer to a win that risks are taken with him more. Sainz is usally in the midpack somewhere playing it safe and gets the safe strategy.
For Sure!!

Why isn't Ferrari bringing more upgrades to validate for next year? Looks like Merc is going to leapfrog Ferrari in winter development battle.

They already brought a floor that improved the car significantly. More than that would require development time on a car that just can’t suit the concept they are working on.

Fixing their correlation, which their floor confirms they did, is what they can carry over 2024. The rest they would throw away.

If so it could be a sign that Honda are pushing for Tsunoda…

Woah. Any idea of quality of source?

Any team signing a 44 year old driver deserves what they are getting. I don't care how skilled they are.

We don’t know the source. And Ferrari has hired him, he’s allegedly attempting to be hired and you can’t really fault a man for trying.

Charles says pole unlikely, but shouldn't have the same issues on the power unit side as last year

They're having to run their largest rear wing with the Monaco beamwing which could cause understeer for them in the slow speed

I think also a lot of performance of sf23 comes from efficiency which isn't relevant here

They have understeer in high speed. Their mechanical grip and traction is good, like in Singapore
