I'm unashamedly a LH44 fanboy. He's the GOAT but #8 is crucial to his legacy in the same way Liverpool had to win the PLor CL to imortalise this season.
I am too, but whether he gets it or not people aren't going to give him his due as GOAT. His legacy is cemented as far as I'm concerned.

Nah. The car is fast. Thatā€™s the #1 positive. They proved themselves there. Just need to tweak the rest.
fast car doesn't matter if it doesn't finish. You have windows of opportunity. Cars will close up next yer

Of course a fast car matters. The point is, you donā€™t fire the people that were to make it happen.

Before the season Binotto said their goal was to return to the fight this year but was not expecting to win. He said it again a couple of days ago. This isnā€™t old Ferrari. Itā€™ll likely be the same team next year.

Having a fast car and failing to win a championship IS the old Ferrari though. Espcially if the championship is lost through DNFs

Ferrari lost in ā€˜17 and ā€˜18 because their car wasnā€™t as good as Mercedes and Vettel wasnā€™t as good as Hamilton. The results this year look similar to those past tries but not for the same reasons.

In terms of outright speed this is the best Ferrari in ages. They pushed the limit. Looks like the concepts still need refining. Iā€™m not firing people for that.

You don't have to, I woul. Mercedes in a lemon of a car are right behind them in the constructors.

The whole, "We don't expect results this year is bullshyt. You are one of the two constructor that got it right. You have a driver in Charles who, with the right car can be just as fast as Max. There is no guarantee you will be up there next year. Binotto needs to go.
