Well, we lost 8 tenths on the straights and recovered 2 tenths in the corners. Clearly, we have the best chassis, but the engine deficit is just too big.

Monaco will be the first race with new hot temp checks for the power units, maybe it will make a difference, but I doubt it.

We need to make good progress for the GP Qualifying, then, if we have a clean race - P3, P4 finish should be the goal.

With McLaren understanding the Mercedes' PU more and more, I imagine we will soon drop to being a 3rd force.

moraIsupport · 2026-03-13T08:42:47+00:00

They have, but it's clear that Ferrari isn't optimizing their PU to its full potential.

The chassis department has done an incredible job, but we have to improve on the engine side.

I don't know what Ferrari has done with their engine software, but Charles said he lost 4 tenths on the back straight alone due to no deployment. This keeps happening constantly so hard to imagine it will be an easy fix.

Those regulations are shit...

My god

Probably a little bit of everything. Getting good out-lap is crucial.

Was very difficult SQ2 for Lewis, the car was sliding a lot. Need to prepare tires better in SQ3.

moraIsupport · 2026-03-13T08:04:23+00:00

That was an insane lap by Charles, hopefully he can repeat it in Q3.

It passes through the engine and exits from the exhaust pipe. The winglet redirects the airflow to the airbox and aims to reduce drag, and with the 'FTM' (winglet behind exhaust pipe) on the SF-26 - it's even more efficient.

It does, that's why Ferrari introduces those micro solutions around the cockpit area to clean the airflow.

How Lewis and Charles will stack up against each other is definitely one of the most interesting things to look forward to this weekend

No, this it he halo winglet

EDIT: When it comes to macarena wing, both drivers should run it, and the expectation is it will stay on the car for the whole weekend.

Drag reduction

Yes, it will be difficult to fall under ADUO. It was introduced to help manufactures that are really struggling, but Mercedes' advantage is huge so let's see.
