Formula 1 2024: Ferrari's Return to Glory. Possibly. Ok, Unlikely.
- Thread starter Nick Kaufman
- Start date
Keeping Max out of DRS in the few laps right after the safety car seems huge for Lando. Feels like only another safety car could screw him now.
Happy for Lando, two good real race results in a row. While unlikely, there is still a slight chance of a championship challenge happening this year.
What do people think about the Miami circuit? I couldn't get past the nonsense like the fake boats last two years, but this time I kind of liked it.
Overtaking is hard. I was surprised that Hamilton, with DRS all day, couldn't make any headway in the last 15 laps or so. But in general even without significant overtaking it is an interesting track. I think it's growing on me a little.

It seems to me that the heat destroyed the tires and the spring weekends didn't give teams enough time to find the optimal setup, ergo hard to overtake + some upsets.
I am really looking forward to Imola. Ferrari is bringing a significant upgrade package, so we ll see whether there can be a championship battle this season or not.
A ton of clouds are gathering above Red Bull as well. Newey did announce his exit which is another sign that despite all the winning, there's a lot of dissatisfaction behind the scenes. Is it because of the allegations against Horner. I have no clue what happened there, but he seems pretty competent to me. Maybe people think there are more shoes to drop?
The organizational issues are obvious, but Adrian Newey leaving is a massive loss for Red Bull and a sign that their performance edge will begin to erode. The only question is whether he’s retiring or jumping to a competitor, which would mean that team will be on the rise. He’s that important.
Mercedes should open the vault for Newey, because whatever it is that they are doing is failing spectacularly.
