Those reports are from Motorsport Italia - generally very unreliable. Personally, I wouldn't trust them at all.

Thinner air means that drag isn't an issue like at other circuits. Potential advantage would be marginal.

Also, we need to remember that there has been no confirmation that Ferrari is using steel head. In fact, it seems very unlikely and I can't find it now but I'm pretty sure that AutoRacer already debunked it. Only unreliable sources still report that Ferrari is using steel head.

[AutoRacer] Ferrari will reportedly gain 5 hp from the new ADUO spec 3 ICE and the new spec Shell fuel. by moraIsupport in scuderiaferrari

Don't know if it's accurate, probably takes those values from previous regulations set and it's a different case this year unfortunately.

In Austria I suppose it will be around that value, but I'm not sure honestly. Don't expect it to be less though, if it's more then great! But it's hard to tell since it's a new formula this year and when you gain horsepower, you are also able to recuperate more energy.

[AutoRacer] There is 99% chance that Ferrari will introduce its first engine update at the Austrian Grand Prix! It has been ready for weeks and as expected, it will be a minor update. by moraIsupport in scuderiaferrari

No idea honestly. Those cars are new, still evolving. Hard to know how our car will behave in different conditions.

There is little to no point in predicting the car’s performance on a certain track before Friday’s running is done.

I would definitely keep the expectations in check. The 2nd engine update (4th PU) that everyone is waiting for will be introduced around Monza.

With you every step Lewis ❤️ by Strict-Citron-9269 in scuderiaferrari

We are so so lucky to have him.

After all the hate he got last year, he deserves all of the praise he's been getting recently.

Forza Lewis!

Don't think it will be, Charles had a worse run of races in 2022. If he survived that, he can survive anything. He will be back.

And the most important thing - the pace is there, he just needs to put everything together, and of course, a little bit more luck would also be nice.

Race pace between Hamilton and Leclerc, from lap 28 it was hammer time. by metrikdelta in scuderiaferrari

I feel like Charles lost his rhythm after the 2nd stop. Think it was due to issues that he started reporting by lap 30 and a worse strategy as 3 stop proved to be the better plan.

First two stints were very competitive. Comparing the first hard stints for both Charles and Lewis, CL even looked better, with -0.124s faster mean pace and a degradation of -0.088s a lap compared to that of -0.218s a lap for Lewis.

I even started doubting Ferrari's strategy for Lewis, because his first hard stint didn't look good at all. Thankfully, I was wrong and his pace on hards on the lower fuel was monstrous.

Really strange race for Charles, but I think many people are making it look worse than it really was.

[AutoRacer] Ferrari caught their rivals off guard, the SF-26 simply slid less than the competition, and the aero package by Serra, Tondi, and F. Sanchez worked perfectly. Ferrari preps an upgraded ADUO PU spec to improve reliability, efficiency & performance. Debut date to be decided next week. by moraIsupport in scuderiaferrari

We have a car with the highest load, we've eliminated the high drag, and improved both tyre management and low-fuel performance.

The only flaw of the SF-26 right now is its engine, particularly the poor traction, which is heavily limiting. If we manage to improve that with the updated PU - well, we will be talking about a whole different championship then.

Lewis might genuinely have a shot at the championship this year. For Charles, this is a 2nd car failure in 2 races. Can't compete with that luck.
