2024 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

It's a bit weird that Albon in 2022, now Sainz, it seems too it's happening too much to F1 drivers, could it something they are giving the drivers that's causing this?

Its a common thing, about 8% lifetime chance for males iirc. Wouldn't even call it a coincidence.

Has a driver EVER made their F1 debut with Ferrari?

First time in 50 years a driver has debuted with Ferrari

No. Arturo Merzario in 1972.

how long ago was 1972?

Any chance of a mid session change?

For the average male with terrible diet, not for these guys with tailor made diets, exercise, supplementation, constant monitoring of health, etc. It seems a bit strange to me.

Close to zero I'd say. It was risky to change it even with two drivers.

Believe it or not, we still know very little about why it happens and whilst a healthy lifestyle is obviously going to reduce anyone's risk of infection, that is only one possible cause of appendicitis.

I wouldn't discount the fact that we now have more monitoring of driver health and, thanks to social media, more information about what is going on in the sport. Plus more races meaning less chance for something to happen in between races and it not be public knowledge (as let's be frank, a driver's medical information is a private thing). Risk also decreases once you get past 30 years old and we have younger drivers these days than in the past so more of them in the highest risk age group.

That we've had 2 drivers in the past few years with it is a uncommon, but I wouldn't start looking for any hidden causes just yet.

Very nice start by Ollie.

People on twitter are being annoying about the fact Ferrari have stuck with the same rear wing - looking at speed trap data, their top speeds are are right up there. Obviously they’re using DRS. Was the stop speed with this wing, without DRS, uncompetitive?

Sounds like a normal day on Twitter outrage for outrage sake

If they decided to use this wing is because it's probably the best compromise for both qualifying and race for the SF 24.

Bearman's long stint is...good?

Great. It means the balance must be quite good

Would've put it in the wall had it been the SF23
