Had the same thought.

Compared to last year, their quali lap was about half a second slower, which kind of aligns with the predictions of 3-4 tenths a second. There’s more to it, however. Ferrari seems to have not been able to improve […]

Status quo bias? Or probably a ton of other cognitive biases based on the fact that the team has won the last 6 championship titles?

I would love to hear more about the masterpiece? To me they look like they […]

I don’t think that’s true. Apart from the front wing, the car in the pictures is identical to last year’s.

Oh, and that rake. They want the car to be very fast in the corners.

This is the best looking 2019 F1 car so far. The front wing and bargeboards look so aggressive. Quite sophisticated. Very Red Bul / Ferrari-esque side pods. Marcin Budkowski didn’t lie when he told the media the […]

Haha, I hope that’s not relative to the time they spent working on the car :D

Vettel was on the soft, while Bottas was on medium.

1. About a second.
2. Difficult to say, but I’d bet it’s not more than 0.2-0.3s
3. Yep
4. No
5. 3 places on the grid

Should be.

He backed off as his breaks were on fire :D

Apparently it did tell something. It pretty much predicted the pecking order. Today it was reaffirmed that Ferrari are much closer to Mercedes than last season.

@george I see, James Alison and Dirk de Beer leaving is the only valid argument for them looking ‘weak on paper’.

If only known names could produce great products then this world would be boring as fudge. On […]

@keithcollantine Thank you, Keith. I know what ‘on paper’ means, still, I can’t see how you came up with the “shouldn’t be a great season for Ferrari” proposition, and what exactly led you to that conclusion?

I don’t get the title of the article? What paper? What’s going on? Has the season started yet? Honestly guys, what are we doing here, reporting or ping-pong?

Well, Ferrari are somewhat different this year. They are not going loud and proud out there claiming anything. Quite the opposite. They were sandbagging (as any other team) throughout the tests, but this run today […]

Ok, thank you. Indeed, the time set on super-softs is somewhat closer to what I expected it to be in quali. Some people here think the cars can go under 1.17 in Barcelona, but I very much doubt it is possible […]

@antoine-de-paris let’s hope it’s not just a facade to negate negative PR.

Was the Ferrari running on fumes? Does anybody know if this was a quali sim?

I don’t have info for all laps done on set compound :( Only fastest times.
