Unless Leclerc falls off heavily in the last few races, I believe this will be his best season. Ferrari need to capitalize on the line up they have next year.I mean, the reason we lost 2022 was primarily because Red Bull had a much faster car in races during the second half of the season - and that, likely but never confirmed, is because of the new TD (which, arguably again, was also Binotto’s fault for not blocking or even using the veto) - but the strategy and reliability issues didn’t help. A couple of errors from Leclerc (Imola and France) were no more than either Max or Lewis made the prior year.ScuderiaLeo wrote: ↑08 Oct 2024, 23:25What angers me the most is looking at the responses to the interview, where people still think the main reason why Ferrari lost in 2022 was because of Leclerc's crash in France. Never mind how Clear himself says in the video Ferrari weren't ready for a battle, and the team as a whole couldn't compete with Red Bull...
If Ferrari shows up next year with the same tire issues as this season, I think I'll be inconsolable from my disappointment.
Half of people in the world are below median intelligence… you can’t expect too much. This is valid for any sport or even non sports.ScuderiaLeo wrote:What angers me the most is looking at the responses to the interview, where people still think the main reason why Ferrari lost in 2022 was because of Leclerc's crash in France.

2024 has been his most consistent season and biggest gap to Carlos, could be partially down to Carlos being on his way out, but it's very impressive.ScuderiaLeo wrote: ↑08 Oct 2024, 23:25What angers me the most is looking at the responses to the interview, where people still think the main reason why Ferrari lost in 2022 was because of Leclerc's crash in France.

From the outside he sure didn't seem to fight that thing too hard, very quiet about it.f1316 wrote: ↑09 Oct 2024, 04:48

That plank nerf was in a TD that was about safety, and veto can't be used when it comes to safety.
Brilliant move by Toto Wolf at the time but I think the hope was to nerf the RB car as well, which never happened...
Fair point - that said, I think they could have successfully, legally argued that it was absolutely nothing to do with safety (given it wasn’t) and therefore that the veto should apply. One way or the other, he needed to do everything in his power to fight it as hard as possible, which certainly does not seem to have been the case.
Seems current spec with everything including the new FW.
There's loads of sensors on the car at all times, even during races. They can put additional sensors during testing. They monitor tyre temperatures, pressures and movement, suspension movement and loads, air pressure under the floor and wings and other important parameters (not to mention all PU parameters) and this is just the basic stuff
