There was no drama because they knew they weren't competing for anything. And when I say team structure, I don't so much mean management structure and personnel. I think their actual team "culture" and over reliance on Italian personnel is a huge hindrance.

They've had drama and upheaval even when they weren't competing for anything. Another plus for Ferrari is that Philip Morris/Marlboro isn't involved with the team anymore. They played a huge role behind the scenes. Not anymore. They also added 30 engineers from RBR/Mercedes over the past year or so.

I think they'll be fine. I'm looking forward to them competing at the top. Much rather them than Red Bull.

The eraser head guy is tactical ass cheeks though. Ferrari made some bizarre in race decisions last year.

He's not head of strategy. Regardless, I think Red Bull was head and shoulders above the rest in that category last year. Everyone else had their ups and downs. You all were screaming your heads off at Mercedes' strategy repeatedly last year.

They weren't. I don't think either team was bad. Alfa and AlphaTauri in particular were by far the worst on the grid. Mercedes and Ferrari were solid.

For sure I'd rather see them in that 1-2 spot over RBR, but I still stand by the notion that Ferrari will Ferrari. Just wait until Leclerc puts the car in the barriers a few times...

Still pulling for Lewis to do it but I’m hoping Ferrari makes serious noise this time around.

That underbody in the first pic.

 

[Lootha VanDraws]

She's beautiful. Just hope she's fast, stable, and reliable.

 

[Maximus Odinson]

Imagine the scenes if they're a second faster than the rest again at the first race like 2014

I dont get this so they fire the guy but the decision still stands?

Can't change the decision. It's set in stone.

Everyone watching not called Verstappen knows it was bullshyt though no matter how they try to frame it.
