With the way SF75 loads the front for a sharp bite and the oversteer, no wonder they have so much grip for one lap and face difficulties in tyre management in races. Although it looked good in Spain where the race didn't go normal, we have to see how it goes in future races. They should look at protecting the tyres and avoid so much oversteer that cooks the tyres, but it seems like Leclerc is happy with this pointy setup that puts him on pole most of the times, even though he was consistently being overtaken in races. With a gritty driver like Max behind in races with a car that has good tyre life, it's difficult to get away with such a biased setup.
I hope Monaco goes to Leclerc. He deserves it so much in front of home crowd.
These rules are very fresh and teams are still learning what to do.
In both Imola and Miami, Ferrari had a front limited car during the races, the tires that degraded were the front ones.
Friday in Barcelona they again were badly front limited.
Ferrari flipped that for saturday and the race and it seemed to be working nicely(at least for Charles), the soft tires lasted quite well in stint 1.
This tail happy setup seems to be a natural evolution path rather than something you can't dial out of the car.
Of course, if you already set up your car to be rear limited and then damage your diffuser early in the race (what happened to Sainz in Barcelona, suppousedly) it's not gonna be great...
