The upgrade plan failed completely, and he clearly has no hope for the future.deadhead wrote: ↑20 Jul 2024, 19:20They have the same pace but McLaren and Mercedes have moved forward?Xyz22 wrote: ↑20 Jul 2024, 19:17https://x.com/leclercsletters/status/18 ... 5206736165

What he is saying is that the car is now slower than it was in Oz, which is an easy fix.. just roll back all the upgrades and you are back in the fight for podiums and wins.
The upgrade made big changes to the diffuser area which now is probably generating a lot more DF than the front of the car. This is why they are probably more understeery at the moment, the balance of the car is off and instead of having time to fix it, they are spending it in bouncing. That’s my armchair analysis.deadhead wrote:They have the same pace but McLaren and Mercedes have moved forward?Xyz22 wrote: ↑20 Jul 2024, 19:17https://x.com/leclercsletters/status/18 ... 5206736165

This is what they’ve been doing for almost two decades now with mediocre results considering the amount of money they have and the corresponding facilities in Maranello. Consider that and being a midfield team is not enough as it doesn’t justify the expenditure.RacePaceDemon wrote: ↑20 Jul 2024, 20:53I think the team needs to panic. Breathe fast and start blaming each other to cause chaos.... is what I would say if I subscribed to the panic group here!!
The team just needs to do a sensible and pragmatic look at things. They need to fully understand why these upgrades didn't work and work out what the next upgrades need to do to address this. Will this take time? Yes! But it's better than just adding load to the car without thinking of what might happen.
I think Ferrari can bring an upgrade or two to confirm correlation and then work on next years car as they need a good start then so they can focus on 2026...
