Actually Leclerc was super competitive in FP1 and Fp2 in Australia.deadhead wrote: ↑21 Jun 2024, 20:10hah true but he seems to find the way going in to quali and I haven't seen that with LEC.. today remined me of Australia
Charles in Miami spun out of fp1 on a sprint weekend but still qualified p2 twice and finished p2/p3. I still find it hilarious that irrespective of what he does, one mediocre test session and his entire capability gets questioneddeadhead wrote: ↑21 Jun 2024, 20:10hah true but he seems to find the way going in to quali and I haven't seen that with LEC.. today remined me of Australia
Where is anyone questioning his "entire capability"?Sphere3758 wrote: ↑21 Jun 2024, 20:23Charles in Miami spun out of fp1 on a sprint weekend but still qualified p2 twice and finished p2/p3.

Have you been positive about Ferrari chances this year at all?Xyz22 wrote:Actually Leclerc was super competitive in FP1 and Fp2 in Australia.
Anyway i think both him and Sainz won't be in the top 5 in Q3 tomorrow.
Are we back to Bahrain last year ?
I don't understand this reaction. It's just a personal prediction and also i've been quite optimistic this season, relatively to what is really possible (clearly not winning the championship).dialtone wrote: ↑21 Jun 2024, 20:26Have you been positive about Ferrari chances this year at all?Xyz22 wrote:Actually Leclerc was super competitive in FP1 and Fp2 in Australia.

To not be in the top 5 means both MCLs, Merc, and Max would be ahead, when SAI has the best race pace and had the 2nd time while being the first to set it, and as usual Ferrari brings up the engine on Saturday.
I get thinking not on pole, but out of top 5…

McL and MB competitiveness mainly. Ferrari usually outperforms on Friday compared to the rest of the weekend, and the average quali position of Leclerc and Sainz i believe is quite close to 5.dialtone wrote: ↑21 Jun 2024, 20:39I’m just discussing your opinion, not trying to stir up anything.Xyz22 wrote:I don't understand this reaction.

From what I saw, at least in SAIs hands the car is quite competitive.
What data leads you to believe it’s not top 5? I wrote why it is top 5 in my view.
There have been many instances of Mercedes being great on Friday and getting the 6th and 7th, i won't write them in the mix for nowXyz22 wrote: ↑21 Jun 2024, 20:41McL and MB competitiveness mainly.

The last WE probably had a huge impact, but still we look better here so i think getting into Q3 will be easy. Top 5? That's different.
Hopefully i'm wrong and you are right though
If either Mercedes/Ferrari/Mclaren beat Redbull this week, it would be more conclusive proof that Redbull has been out developed in a season even before the summer break having had a half a second advantage to start off.bluechris wrote: ↑21 Jun 2024, 20:53I strongly believe Ferrari will be in top form in qual and race. The team did today calculated tests to understand the updates. Tomorrow in FP3 we will see if they got it right today and they will pass the setup to both cars and all the updates to Leclerc.
Keep faith in them, they try their best with fast car updates which is not easy thing to do. We are not RB with a Saint designer in our back's that provides a perfect car from the get go.
I'm starting to believe that Newey had a huge influence on general setup direction as well.Sphere3758 wrote: ↑21 Jun 2024, 20:58If either Mercedes/Ferrari/Mclaren beat Redbull this week, it would be more conclusive proof that Redbull has been out developed in a season even before the summer break having had a half a second advantage to start off.bluechris wrote: ↑21 Jun 2024, 20:53I strongly believe Ferrari will be in top form in qual and race.

Ferrari would be ripped to shreds if this were to happen btw, so I would not disregard the amazingly competent engineers at all the top teams
