I hear , The Ferrari team's motivation is going bad .

I think Charlie's meeting will have little effect to be honest, he really is just a pawn like the other driver.

...and no way LEW will move into a team that's not doing well. He is better off sticking with the devil he knows at least if he remains in F1 and I read that LEW was telling Merc Wolff before the W13 was even started to be built that it was the wrong path to take but Wolff didn't listen.

Looks like LeClerc has a grid penalty in Jeddah. Lmaoooooo poor Ferrari fans.

LEC just cant get a break at Ferrari.
Last year the Ferrari parts also broke down way faster than RB's parts (and some other teams parts). Grid penalties are another thing that mess up their championship aspirations.

I wonder if LEC will make the top5 next sunday.

Disclosure: I'm a Ferrari fan and a LEC fan. That said, I don't think LEC's grid penalty is going to make the slightest difference. I expect VER to be minutes ahead of the field at the end of the race.

[GuidoK]

But there will be a battle for 2nd place this year. Just like last year

Max won't be minutes ahead. GP won't let him, he has to save the components in the car. He's allowed to only extend his lead with 10sec or so on the runner up .

I wonder what will be the highest number of seconds GP will tell Max to slow down per lap this year

Charlie gets a 10 P grid penalty . It won't be easy for him to finish in the top 3 at this rat trap track .
This means +/- P13 at the startgrid ...

I think Charlie will finish P7 .

[M5Rick]

Not just 3 place grid drop, poor Chas having a 10 place drop seems a savage penalty.

According to the Corriero dello Sport :

Technical Top leader Enrico Cardile and Laurent Mekies , both want to leave the Ferrari team .

I'm not sure , but the whole situation at Ferrari looks like an Italian comedy soap ..

With Fred wielding the 'axe' some workers who enjoyed the happy time under Mattia must be getting edgy.

Saw the article earlier today and it said : A 10 P grid penalty for Charlie for replacing his electric power battery (ERS)

No doubt one of these lithium ones used in these hybrids, what a p os system that s@cks to use just to go racing and more 'battery energy' of it to come in '26.
To even work on these things the battery has to be discharged to reduce risk of electric shock.

Yes . In 2026 , half of the power 50/50 must come from the electric sources .
This means at least 400/450 HP will be electric ...

F1 cars will sound like a high pressure espresso coffee machine .
Even for us the (too-green)! future really s@cks ...

And China is spraying the poison non-stop in the air !
Is China not the planet earth ?

A very similar situation which prompted ALO to leave Ferrari. Unfortunately for Ferrari fans and LEC, things have not changed.

Lol @ the liberal media trying to smear HAAS right now.

How does anyone even believe anything on the news any more? It's a clown show.

Social media cretins lol they try to bury Steiner for his remarks on why Mick had to go, unfortunately ''you can't beat up a dead horse'' was maybe a little OTT but F1 is a cruel place if you lag behind and wreck costing the under pressure team.
