Very interesting technical analysis between Ferrari/Red Bull and Leclerc way of driving ( Italian) https://www.formulapassion.it/opinioni/federico-albano/ferrari-telemetria-potenza-leclerc-verstappen-612562.html
Fantastic. We are back. Nothing is in the bag of course. One race at a time. Let’s make that race a 1-2 at Imola
Congrats and well done!!! Good weekend for Ferrari, with Leclerc sailing ahead in the championship. Sainz now confirmed #2. The car seems the most balanced in the field, maybe not the fastest.
Can you imagine the gap Chuck would have had without the safety cars??? Probably would have lapped a P4 car.
In my view Charles has always shown he was WDC material just needed the car to rack up wins. Now with the car he is showing how good he is and also how mentally well sorted he is. No need to whine he just gets on with the job and I don't think Max will be able to intimidate him. Scuderia has made one of the best starts to a season just need Sainz to be up there next to Charles maximising points and completing a podium of red.
It does... maybe not to the car but to the driver. Today we were fortunate as there was no close fighting so Charles didn't had to push hard along the sector where porpoising was the maximum. This continuous bouncing could have an impact on his spinal cord, unless Ferrari has put shock absorbers beneath his seat to cushion off the effect.
From Autosport forum : A “neutral” engineer told Duchessa that the moment Ferrari can lower the car as Red Bull can, they might be unreachable.
Porpoising affect every car, Lots of engineers believe the Ferrari will be faster when they will bring a fix to solve this problem.
Truth is Binotto is doing something spectacular with this team. In Italy pressure is massive on Ferrari and recovering from two very bad years to put the Scuderia on top again is a HUGE accomplishment.
Binotto has made alot of changes in the F1 dept. Some wanted his head. It's all working out for the best now.
Very true, I must admit. Under Binotto, Ferrari has been working quietly to prepare for this new formula and delivered a very good car. I only hope success won't go to their head and that the effort will be maintained.
