Ferrari are already 3rd fastest car, if they'd struggle to adapt to these tires as they have in the last 5 years, I'd see them dropping to 5th fastest. What is wrong at this team, do they not understand the tire model and tire behavior or?
Few people remember this but in 2019 Ferrari tried to revert to the 2018 Pirelli spec. Of course, they lost the "battle"

I think the Team is currently lacking in every single area compared to RB, tyre modelling just one of them.
2019 is the season i "regret" the most. We had, for once, a significative advantage PU wise but the chassis/aero was absolutely terrible... Even with a decent chassis, we could have won.K1Plus wrote: ↑07 Nov 2023, 00:09The understeer in the first half od 2019 was crazy.
Probably getting frustrated that whenever he does well there's always something from the team to bring him down, whether it's reliability, strategy or something else.
According to Corriere Vasseur said to a small circle of people that the team is lacking a lot (as we said many times).franbatista123 wrote: ↑07 Nov 2023, 11:08Probably getting frustrated that whenever he does well there's always something from the team to bring him down, whether it's reliability, strategy or something else.
Maybe i'm exaggerating but i genuinely think that despite his love for Ferrari, 2024 is make or break for him. I can see a Ver-Lec or a Rus-Lec pairing happening, depending on if Mercedes improves.
To be honest, it isn't surprising that Vasseur hasn't potentially been able to recruit any one to join - Compared to all the other UK based teams, why would you up sticks and move to Italy? Massive risk to have to be involved in the 'Ferrari Way' of doing things. Not saying that there isn't any talent in Italy, far form it... but trying to recruit anyone from the outside is incredibly difficult. Not to mention that essentially any hire that any team makes from another needs 6-12 or more months of 'gardening leave' so any effect on their hiring will take even longer then.Xyz22 wrote: ↑07 Nov 2023, 11:13According to Corriere Vasseur said to a small circle of people that the team is lacking a lot (as we said many times).

This is an improvement over Binotto who always said everything was perfect. Now we need to see the changes, though. For now nothing happened really.

Neither of those lineups make sense. Hamilton isn't going anywhere in the short-term and I seriously doubt Verstappen or Red Bull deems having a Leclerc in the second seat as necessary to reach their goals.franbatista123 wrote: ↑07 Nov 2023, 11:08Probably getting frustrated that whenever he does well there's always something from the team to bring him down, whether it's reliability, strategy or something else.

Yeah, pretty much. 1s slower per lap in Hungary in race trim... Car wasn't turning at all in medium/long radius corners sighK1Plus wrote: ↑07 Nov 2023, 14:28I remember people saying it was a rocket engine strapped onto a midfield car.
