How have Ferrari gone so far backwards

Itsa the Ferrrrari way!

Schermerhorn

McLaren have a huge pace advantage over the Red Bull. Norris already 4 seconds clear of Max in just a handful of laps.

Schermerhorn

Oscar. He has the measure of Norris now.

Lewis is on the decline. Leclerc is whooping him exactly how I thought he would.

Schermerhorn

Villeneuve is a very good commentator. Really clued up and his information is very succinct and precise.

Schermerhorn

I always get a warm fuzzy feeling when F1 returns to Australia The atmosphere looks amazing and the nice looking weather certainly adds to it McLaren look very comfortable. Norris looks like he has an edge on Piastri. Leclerc looks like he has Hamilton in check too. Lawson looks weak. The pressure w...

Schermerhorn

Even 2023/2024 Alonso is someone I rate higher than 2024 Norris.

Schermerhorn

Max is on another level to Norris - such a shame he has to play dirty at times but I get why he does it.

Congratulations to Max on his 4th WDC.

Schermerhorn

Wow

Half a second between 6th and 7th

Red Bull falling back massively

Schermerhorn

Don't really feel too sorry for the kid who comes from a billionaire family and has had nearly 40 chances to prove himself in F1 .....

Schermerhorn

Perez has mentally checked out after signing his contract extension and only being told that it is a 1 year deal with an option for year 2. Russell seems to have the measure of Lewis now. I'm not sure if its genuine pace or because he is buoyed by the confidence boost that the political atmosphere i...

Schermerhorn

Perez has faded big time in the last 4 races. Can barely score a point.

Good thing he started bright early this season and secured another contract with RBR. If I was RBR management I would have waited for further options.

okay now slicks are starting to go on

Seems too cold for hard slicks

They will take ages to warm up

Schermerhorn

Alonso has no pace

What is going on?

Schermerhorn

2011 was one of the best races ever

Monaco sucks

Schermerhorn

Stroll, Bottas, Ricciardo, Perez, Zhou, Sargeant, Alonso Alonso is still an elite driver. I suspect we will see him back to his best at Canada. The last two races had mitigating factors which really dampened the results. The rest I agree with it. Add Mangnussen too. He has to go. A clear menace. I'...

The McLaren with the Senna livery reminds me a little of the Benetton B193

Schermerhorn

To me, Sainz took the middle of the track to prevent anyone from overtaking and to take a more optimum line into the top of the hill but Magnusson tried to squeeze into the gap anyway One driver has driver penalty points on his FIA license because of his form for accidents and incidents more than an...

Schermerhorn

Magnusson is a menace

Get rid of this guy

Schermerhorn

Alonso out in Q1

He must be regretting signing a contract extension for Aston Martin

Dan Fallows and his team look hopeless now

Schermerhorn

Alonso struggling to make progress even on red soft tyres. The gap to Sargent looks like he is trying to stay back and cool them down.

Hopefully they pick up enough data to see if these upgrades have worked.

Schermerhorn

I'm struggling to get excited this season. I hope Mclaren give Red Bull a real fight.

Schermerhorn

I rate him higher than Leclerc personally, even though he doesn't have the same ultimate speed as Charles.

I rate his mental strength and resilience and think he would fare well against Verstappen compared to the way Perez has been beaten like a drum by him.

Schermerhorn

I am half expecting Verstappen to have a 10 second lead by Lap 7 and the race to be all but done.

Schermerhorn

When do the this set of Technical/Design Regulations change? That's the only way anyone other than Red Bull will win anything meaningful Zzzzzzzzz We have all of 2024 and 2025 of these regulations left. I can't tell you how crazily I've watched F1 since the age of 11, obsessively watching every pie...

I guess it is all down to 2026 rules but Lewis will be an old man at 41 by then. Maybe 2025 to settle in, before an assault on 2026? I would back Leclerc to beat him. Credit to Lewis for going up against Leclerc though, that's bold, but I think Leclerc will be quicker. Especially as Lewis takes a w...

Schermerhorn

Shock move. Probably fuelled by ego and Ferrari waving a huge amount of money in front of him. Perhaps there is some political trouble with the top brass and Toto too and Lewis didn't feel that Mercedes would get ontop of their troubles and best these regulations. This will give George some confiden...

Schermerhorn

So Verstappen became unstoppable when the team mate that was regularly his equal left the team... what a coincidence. You mean when a teammate, who got tonked 15-6 in qualifying in 2018, ran away from Max before his 21st birthday because he could see the writing on the wall? But no in 2019 and 2020...

Schermerhorn

Gotta be honest, I was more impressed with Vettel's 9 race winning streaking at the end of 2013.... ...that said, even though Vettel is a favourite of mine and I did think at the time he would go onto become a GOAT I believe Max Verstappen is a superior driver than peak Vettel (who had a narrower op...

Schermerhorn

Max is so aloof these days

"Give them my regards"

Schermerhorn

Cold track

No grip

Will take a while to rubber in.

They should reconsider doing this race at a different time because it's been complete carnage so far.

Schermerhorn

I don't know if Aston Martin brought any updates recently? To me it looks like the team abandoned this year's car early and put all its eggs into next year's car. Given that money does not appear to be an objection, a lower finishing position in the WCC also yields more wind tunnel time next year. ...

Schermerhorn

My 2 cents They found a loophole in the rules and used it to excellent effect in the hands of Alonso for the first 8 or so races. Then a new technical directive came and took away their advantage and they tumbling backwards Dan Fallows doesn't look like such a genius anymore. The rest of the team al...

Bonehead Perez

Schermerhorn

Shame Alonso retired with a broken floor

On the upside, the new package seems to work as Stroll was close to Alonso all race even though Alonso was on the old aero package.

A good test session and hopefully they got some data to analyse.

A shame they're going to finish 5th in the WCC though.

Schermerhorn

Qatar was too hot and on the edge of driver safety. Way too hot and unbearable conditions inside the cockpit that are only masked by adrenaline It will never happen again. Big lesson learned. There should be a limit for Middle Eastern races and they shouldn't be spread out like this because of the v...

Perez has turned into a bum - a word I hate using

Utterly destroyed in every single way by Verstappen
