    Same. I didn’t have a single issue with my 296 when I owned one, and I haven’t a single issue with my current SF90 in my 20-months of ownership.

    You mean never, Win95/98 were an evolutionary dead-end, NT code base took over.
    hybrids, EVs, not fit for purpose, another evolutionary dead end...with hybrids being worse, multiple drivetrains is never a good idea (needing a hazmat suit to prevent death during service work is shocking).

    you ramble so much it is hard to understand what is the point

    Again you are incorrect. If you saw the Ferrari team principal, Fred Vasseur , interviewed pre race he said they changed the battery out of caution and wanted peak power against the potentially fading batteries of the other trams.

    If you claim there are countless issues why do we not see a thread just on battery issues , perhaps you should start it? Perhaps start by exposing the link between very different batteries from different manufactures ( F1 & road cars) Good luck with that one .

    Further you ignore the link that should exist if your statements about Ferrari F1 battery failures and the link to road cars is existential, that is watch out Mercedes road cars are next .

    As far as ranting you have appeared across threads as an expert on everything , except car ownership. Again when you have done more than look at a Ferrari you may wish to contribute something that is meaning .

    Sorry mate, where exactly did you see that? Ferrari has the best Power Unit in F1!

    I have been following F1 for 35 years now. A failure of a battery hardly constitutes a disastrous season. Ferrari powered F1 cars are have been the quickest down the straights for a number of years now and their reliability record is up there with all the others.

    Agree one of Ferraris better seasons in quite a while. However the battery issue placed their number one driver at the back of the field at a critical point in the season, which had that not happened could have resulted in a far more desirable outcome. The linked article from ferrarifans also reports on the reliability pecking order which states Ferrari is not as reliable as it should be in comparison to its main competitors, contrary to the belief of a certain appologist on this thread.

    Costa, I haven't seen evidence of inferior reliability in your links.

    I hit the ignore button a while back on this clown and while it makes these threads hard to follow it’s basically eliminated the only troll in this forum.

    10/10, Id highly recommend.

    They won the last two Le Mans with a 2.9 ltr 120 degree twin turbo V6 with the help of a 200kw battery, sound familiar ? That is a fact and again illuminates your myopic views

    The only upside here is that to the owner it'd be worth far more $ crashed than in one piece iykwim.

    Good description! He this happen to me yesterday for the first time. On a trip to SF and a block from hotel it did exactly this. And I did what u did and switched to derive. But it won’t get me home. Likely will just get to a parking spot that can easily get access for a tow truck.

    But good to know it may just be a bad battery. Probably should’ve just had it replaced when I got it!
