A positive weekend for Leclerc / Ferrari usually results in a complete disaster the upcoming races.IntrinsicVoid wrote: ↑07 Jul 2024, 17:45I don’t expect anything with the current car really. Only I hope that his side job as data gatherer/analyst in this week will be beneficial for the team to at least start on a right trajectory to alleviate the issues with the car. One positive weekend for Charles is all that he needs.SoulPancake13 wrote: ↑07 Jul 2024, 17:39I mean, what did you expect from his this weekend with an entire Friday gone? Last weekend he got unlucky with lap 1 contact, the race before with his teammate messing up the strategy, and the race before that one his engine gave up.IntrinsicVoid wrote: ↑07 Jul 2024, 17:33Positives: The car wasn’t bad at all at wet conditions, at least in Sainz’s hands. Even at early stages he was keeping with PIA.
Negatives: I don’t know what is going with LEC, but he seems like he’s having zero confidence, Turkey several years ago showed us he’s not a bad driver at wet conditions. But something has to be done on his and team’s side to get along with the car.
I mean overall we have 12 races to go, and Ferrari will be competitive at some. But the trend in general is a spiral downwards.
Unbelievable that all teams are able to improve their cars (I talk also about teams like Haas & Alpine), but this Ferrari team can only find a few tenths when it comes to go from worst top team to podium contender. They are never able to gain the tenths necessary to go from podium to a winning team.
I'm at a loss, but every Ferrari fan goes through this moment at least once a year. So it's like business as usual.
