2024 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

[Vanja #66]

Very good recovery from both today. Too bad about Sainz' poor start, could have followed Leclerc's race and pace for sure without that tussle into T1-2-3

Leclerc comfortably keeping up with Norris' pace on Hards was great to see, even with overtaking many cars on his way. Should have been a P4, but Russell got saved by the bell. Proper humiliation of Mercedes, changing tyres 20-something laps to the end and still comfortably catching up to Georgey

Charles could have had P2 here with a better quali. Pace was really good on the hards.

Wasn’t he lapping basically as fast as Norris when he got clean air? I honestly think he could’ve brought the fight to him if he had started p2.

Kind of, but Lando had a lot of laps compromised by traffic, which for some reason impacted him a lot. Maybe he overtook off-line and got marbles on the tires. Also he got told to chill after having those close calls with the walls.

But it was close.

Either way Leclerc was blazing fast today. His races have been really good recently. Disregarding the terrible 4 race stretch from Canada to Austria, this is his first finish outside the top 4, and his joint worst points finish all season. The levels of consistency from Leclerc this season are seriously impressive. I really think his amazing season is going abit under the radar because the Ferrari isn't as good in quali and McLaren is so blazing fast.

Useless statements. Even if he didn't make the mistake he would have qualified like p7 with those tyres.
Also the mistake was the result of having cold tyres. Leclerc quali was completely doomed.

Charles is Ferrari personified, YAAAA when win, BOOO i am Very very depressed when things go right, it something Charles has said but good to have someone like Fred to even out the emotion..

It's Leclerc... if he looked back on the session and thought he had any fault in it, he would be (and is) the first one to speak up about it. That's just how he is. Like you say, he could've qualified P7. Today that could've made a big difference with the pace they had.

And it's not like he's entirely defending the team; he reiterated he left the pits with the tires in the wrong temperature and something had gone wrong there. He's just saying he's not blameless.

Yes, but the win which was the goal would have been compromised in that case as well.

48-50 and 59-62 - fighting mercs.
Lando ofk did not attack to the maximum, but clearly not a second slower than he could drive.
It's obvious to me that we should have fought for the win, and the expectations of the drivers are not random, but unfortunately we failed in Q3.
