Well they did have it in the bag until the last lap of Abu Dhabi, and it wasn't even their issue why they lost the wdc.

is this due to like cooling? every team has big air intake on top, while Ferrari's quite tiny in comparisonf1316 wrote: ↑06 Jan 2025, 01:43Little tidbit, speculative certainty, but hey, when in Rome!

It has seemed to me like Ferrari have engine modes available that they can’t access regularly and still be reliable - I suspect the intention in 2022 with the freeze was to use these more regularly (with reliability fixes allowed) but it seems like they still haven’t fully resolved the issues that impacted 2022 (eg in Spain, Baku etc). I wouldn’t be surprised if there some latent potential there and, what with this being the last year of these engine regs, it’s kinda now or never.
Negative. Ferrari just use less centreline cooling than the rivals. RBR use less through the sidepods.

It just seems logical that every other engine manufacturer is in the same shoe.f1316 wrote: ↑06 Jan 2025, 01:43Little tidbit, speculative certainty, but hey, when in Rome!

This can also only be measured during qualifying.
Fair enough but anecdotally you never hear about other teams ever “turning it up” (ie accessing an available engine mode not used at every race) like you always do for Ferrari at Monza. Maybe those teams don’t have a single race that’s as important for them as monza is for Ferrari or maybe Ferrari turning it all up is all make believe, but I tend to think there’s no smoke without fire for some of these rumours.sucof wrote: ↑07 Jan 2025, 19:03It just seems logical that every other engine manufacturer is in the same shoe.f1316 wrote: ↑06 Jan 2025, 01:43Little tidbit, speculative certainty, but hey, when in Rome!

Every engine is capable for more, for all the teams, it is a balancing act what the engine can take but still remain reliable.
If you think about engineering, you will find, there is just no other way to do any kind of device. No parts on any car is different. All of them could do more, for the cost of breaking earlier.
It is make believe yes. The most they do is get new engines for the race, I don’t even remember if they did so this year though.f1316 wrote: Fair enough but anecdotally you never hear about other teams ever “turning it up” (ie accessing an available engine mode not used at every race) like you always do for Ferrari at Monza.
