I predict an overall better performance this season. The SF-24 looks like a really solid starting point and then the development will be key. Last season Ferrari for the first time in many years has kept on developing into the later stages of the season which was the right thing to do. And also for the first time in a long period I had the feeling that everything they've done to the car made sense and actually made the car faster. This was rarely the case before.

Of course, the car and it's in-season development is one thing, but the second most important thing in case of Ferrari will be the question whether the strategy department, after Rueda left the team, will finally show an improvement or not.

I honestly think it might be really close between Ferrari/Merc/McLaren/AMR start of the season. Visually I probably prefer Merc/AMR slightly in terms of aggression, but Ferrari/MCL looked the fastest towards the end of last season which speaks well for them. RB probably have an edge, or possibly a bigger advantage depending on how this new concept turns out and what is rumoured for Japan.

Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur says the team have not yet received any compensation for the damage to Carlos Sainz Jnr’s car during the opening practice session for last year’s Las Vegas Grand Prix.

The first practice session was abandoned after Sainz struck a loose track covering along the long Las Vegas Strip straight. Asked whether the team had received any restitution, Vasseur said “we are still discussing, but it’s a work in progress, let’s say.”

“But I think it’s also the normal timing of this kind of matter,” he added. “I’m not scared about this, that we’ll find a solution. I think it will be the normal outcome and the logical outcome and we are working for this.”

Hopefully they compensate Ferrari for the car and potentially for also a P2 in the Constructors.

Apparently the SF-24 lapped about 8 tenths faster than the Sf-23 in Fiorano. The track has been resurfaced, but mind that it is a really short one, so the difference should be bigger on the other tracks.

Seems to be accurate info. That was Leclerc, Sainz was apparently 1.2s faster and I think that's a better indicator. Leclerc is nuts on one lap, on race pace their difference is obviously smaller and that's where Sainz' laps are more relevant. They gathered a lot of data, they know the state of their track. It's still a bumpy track though, so they could also check initial behaviour in those conditions. Too bad F1-75 ran in way different conditions 2 years ago.
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Something like this might work. I don't know what happened in this kind of incidents in the past but Ferrari should not let this one slide. I believe Fred can make them pay if he really wants to, I would have had less faith in Binotto in similar situation.

Wow, didn’t know about the 1.2s figure from Sainz. I agree that coming from Sainz it’s a better indicator.

Initial behavior must have been much better than last year too, if it’s true what I’ve heard in a video, which was that the team was quite happy (smiling faces).

8 tenths/1.2 seconds on a track which albeit resurfaced is short is not inisignificant. Hopefully they can be if not ahead of Red Bull, at least within 2 tenths. That can give strategics options.

You've got the times wrong
Sainz: 57,21s
Leclerc: 56,81s

The times are right, the comparison is against the time set by the same driver last year. LEC was 0.8 faster than himself a year ago and SAI was 1.2.
