2024 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

Higher temperatures = no warm up issue

Very good job from both drivers! Keeping Perez behind was crucial and the same can be expected for tomorrow looking at the pace in the sprint race. As expected the car came alive on the hot track.

How the base SF-24 performs against the upgraded cars is really encouraging.

This. The job tomorrow is to keep Max under pressure - probably not quite the pace to win in a straight fight but close enough to make it hard and then you never know what can happen.

LEC seems confident he can put pressure on VER.

Let’s hope SAI doesn’t go ballistic like he did in China again.

He seems confident IF he can stay within DRS which is much easier said than done. Just look how much harder Red Bull can push the tyres at the start of the race. And they do this whilst having good levels of degradation.

The long back straight will be impossible to keep within DRS, they are so much quicker in that twisty bit on HIGH fuel, he'll essentially need to be within 5 tenths at 11 to exit 16 with DRS being available.

Hopefully after what happened in China there won’t be any drama tomorrow

It was reported Vasseur was very stern about it on post race debrief, no incident between them will be tolerated any more. Whatever the sanction may be, neither driver will want to mess with him.

True. So we just need a safety car between laps 25-35 !

I have this question in the back of my mind… Would have been possible for Ferrari to bring the upgrades if they had to manufacture them for 1 driver only?


A few tenths in this track would have helped a lot.

Of course. Unlike Red Bull and McLaren, both drivers are treated 100% equally. Since neither driver is favoured, they need 4 sets of parts made, checked and painted. Also, you get far better and more consistent feedback when both drivers can test both specs at the same time and same conditions

After 2022 I believe Perez had it written into contract to not receive upgrades later than Max. Since then hasn't happened

Imola is going to be very interesting. If RedBull is also bringing their upgrade package, it's all down to how much performance theirs will bring. The rumored 0.25s would have put Charles ahead of Max today. And Ferrari has no problems with tire management this year, so the race would have been quite "interesting" to say the least. It's getting annoying seeing RedBull seemingly play this "cat and mouse" game with the rest of the grid. Everytime it looks like someone is getting closer, but yet they're always ending up on top anyway. It's about time someone takes it away from them. If not for the full season, at least for a race or two ...

Aaand the sanction is Oliver Bearman in one of the seats.

They are bringing a second upgrade package already? Incredible work by that team overall has to be said.

Charles vs Xavi chapter 327.

Waché said in preseason the plan was upgrades at round 4 and 7. So far that has been the case

You'd expect that, they've had ample time to prepare for this season considering their position from 12 months ago. Ift hey were developing any slower it would a be concern.

Charles vs Xavi chapter 327.

Did Kimi Raikkonen not teach race engineers anything about 12 years ago already?

"Don't speak to me in the corners!"

It does seem a fairly obvious thing too

Charles vs Xavi chapter 327.

Ehh, he mostly speaks on the straights only, this was basically just a noting burger,. idk why Charles ultrafan hate Xavi so much, Charles has enough influence in Ferrari that if he wanted his race engineer changed he can. but I personally feel he does decent job most of the time.
