GOOD LUCK!
I gave them 5, but I am afraid that's a little optimistic. I don't see the strategical moves at the direction/engineering level of the team. In comparison to Mercedes and RB, the Italian answer doesn't look very convincing. But I may and hope I am completely wrong!
Same here. For me it's uncomprehensible that the Scuderia is still run the way it was doing the last couple of years. Since more than ten years, the team struggled and needed half a season to learn to 'understand' the car. They had no idea what the outcome was of certain design and engineering 'solutions'. On certain tracks they were kind of competitive, on others they were not little more than backmarkers. The point is: they didn't know why. That says there was poor communication and feedback from drivers to engineers and designers. And I don't see any change in this. Ferrari needs another Newey.
The strategy is a real problem for me. Has been since Brawn & co left. The amount of times we saw Vettel get into better positions possible purely because he called the strategy correctly by ignoring the idiots...And their completely and total incapability of focusing on 2 cars, will really not help them. Unless their car is head and shoulders above the rest, their piss poor strategy is what'll cost them (assuming they're on par with Merc/RBR).
this. MB were able to look brilliant strategy wise due to the massive car advantage they had thru the years until last year.
^^ nail on the head! The only guys I fear strategy-wise are RB. Anyway, there’s a new guy in charge since last year and he’s not Italian so people can’t use tired tropes to disparage the team.
Well, somebody thinks Ferrari will win all 23 GP's this season. Nice! That means WDC for sure as well!
On looks our car has the pace hopefully that translates to the track. At present too early to predict number of wins. We can only hope that it will be in the fight with RB and Merc and if the strategists don't f up there will be many podium finishes for our boys.
As long as LH and MV are driving, Ferrari will not win a single race , they do not have the talent, Vettel was their last hope . Until they hire a driver who has the talent equal to the aforementioned , they will not win the title, its that simple. Maybe for the next ten years, " oh, its the car " bull s***. Vettel and Alonso did so much better, when the car was weak, its no longer weak, the drivers are weak. Thank you
