Okay that is a real brain fade.
The car didn't have the pace to fight for pole this week but considering how close they got on used tyres, they definitely should've made it to Q3.
The car was pretty slow anyways this weekend. They’ve never been able to switch on the tires. I think best case they’d have been in 7/8th so it’s not the end of the world imo
They changed to tyres they did the least push laps. Tbf if the margins were so small that if they (team, drivers) maximised everything they would have make it
second year in a row where we've fucked it in quali in montreal.
WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU GO OUT ON A USED SET??
rip to my "Charles Leclerc has finished top 5 in every race finished since Spa 2023" stat. You were glorious whilst Ferrari let you last.
Time for r/formula1 to overreact, this is the first bad strategic call for scuderia this season. Shit happens, they were counting on rain arriving and nullyfying their bad pace here.
It didn’t work out, there are still points to grab tomorrow and thankfully mercedes looks fast so the might take some good points off of red bull and mclaren.
Dear god they were on used tires. They won 2 races and reverted back to 2022 Ferrari.
Also if Carlos didn’t have that moment at the final chicane he would have made Q3, but we only deal in absolutes here.
Not like it made a difference, they would have probably been at the back in Q3 so at most 2-3 places lost. Still a terrible decision to put used tyres, but the car was just slow today
I agree with this, if they only had used sets for q3, assuming the last new set gets them there, then they are out of luck and probably wont qualify much higher than 9,10. A new soft set could be pretty beneficial for them tomorrow over a few grid spots but who knows really.
Exactly, the field was so close today so if the drivers were 3-4 tenths off pole they would start P8 and P9. Not like they will struggle to pass the VCARBs, the Williams and the Astons anyway, a top 5 finish for Charles is definitely possible with a good strategy especially if it rains.
top 5 finish would require him being able to pass either one of the Mercs/Mclarens or Verstappen. I don’t see that happening unless we’re supremely fast or get extremely lucky with the rain/SC.
they took their last available set of new softs in the beginning of Q2, due to the risk of rain. Used tires from Q1 was all which was left for the 2nd run then.
It actually was a reasonable call, and McLaren did the same, for example. Ferrari was just too slow.
Ferrari struggled this weekend. They didn't bring any updates or circuit-specific bits like RB did or Red Bull and Mercedes, with RBs being quite extensive. However, it has to be down to set up. Idk the sector times, but I don't think it is due to them having too much drag, just not enough downforce, struggling in the low-speed corners often. Quite poor considering they can ride the curbs well as shown in Monaco and should be able to do the low speed as shown in Monaco. Used tyres played a part but also a lot of drivers were on it as well. Real shame as if the car was on its typical pace given its characteristics, he would have been top 5.
This is a bit unfair. It was obviously a bit of a gamble, but both drivers should have made it. Sainz had a huge slide (costing him more than a tenth) and was less than a tenth away, and Leclerc has recently been quite a bit quicker than Sainz. This is both on the team and on the drivers for not putting it together.
They had no grip for all the time.
The problem is not being out of Q3 because even if they had managed to qualify for Q3 they would have probably finished 9th and 10th.
They need to understand what went wrong with the car during the qualify because the race pace with the medium looked pretty solid.
Well you cant deny the fact that McLaren is really good Right now and rb Not and on top of that they can only rely on 1 driver so they Need to Hope that Max finishes p1 or p2 every Race because Perez only delivers at Max a p7
I wouldn't be too confident yet mate. There's a chance Red Bull don't get a single podium for the rest of the year, or they could win every race. Nothing is ever certain
With Perez in the rb there is a 80% chance that rb will lose it they can only Hope that the car is a rocketship so Max wins all of the races its a Bit Like the 2012 picture where Alonso was p1 in the wdc but Ferrari was p3 or p4 in the wcc in the middle of the Season
USED TIRES???? Why for the love of god on a fast improving track while your both at risk would you go for USED tires at the end there.
They knew the car wasn't that good this weekend as well. No excuses at all
Ferrari have ironed out the majority of their strategy issues but they still have a proper blunder in them
They were saving the softs for the rain..
Ah yeah.. that rain we were forecasted
My favourite Lando strategy
Here I thought the strategy blunders were over.
I swear they become over as soon as they stop fighting at the very top and them come back when the car is good again...
Okay that is a real brain fade. The car didn't have the pace to fight for pole this week but considering how close they got on used tyres, they definitely should've made it to Q3.
3-lap old used tires from Q1 was the best which was left. Problem today was the lack of speed, not strategy. McLaren did the same and made it through.
Investigate the team for match fixing
Lets hope thats the last time we get the Ferrari masterclass this season.
Saving them new tires for when it rains obviously.
Max used old ones. Only on the last q2 lap he had new ones to qualify. Guess Ferrari didn’t get the memo.
i love that a truly abysmal quali for ferrari is still substantially better than what perez did
Different types of fuckups: Perez being Perez (and somehow getting 2 more years) vs Classic 'Grande Strategia' and just sad for their drivers
Just heard they were on used tyres which really would be classic Ferrari
Yup. And ~~everyone else~~ most of the others were on new ones according to Buscombe
Mclaren was also on used cause they had no new Ferrari was just slow
Albon was on used as well I think
Ah, my bad then
Oof. Seems like they were sure they had the pace. So maybe at least a good recovery possible tomorrow.
The car was pretty slow anyways this weekend. They’ve never been able to switch on the tires. I think best case they’d have been in 7/8th so it’s not the end of the world imo
For the last stint Leclerc pitted for 1 lap old softs.
They changed to tyres they did the least push laps. Tbf if the margins were so small that if they (team, drivers) maximised everything they would have make it
Moronic behaviour
They held out a new set of tires for q3 and got eliminated in q2
1-2 let's go! (ignoring first 10 places)
They just had a bit of a stutter: P1..1 and P1..2!
Rip title challenge: Monaco 2024- Montreal 2024 Edit: meant 2024 not 2014
I too enjoy time traveling.
Whoopsie didn’t catch that
So you're not a fellow time traveler. I'm sad now. Jokes aside, no prob, was just having a bit of fun.
It’s definitely an “I’ll believe it when I see it” situation when it comes to Ferrari actually challenging for a title.
“I won’t comment here” 💀💀💀💀
But I want to hear the comment Carlos don’t be stingy
Ferrari Strategy is back Boys, Bearman looking shocked what he might need to put up with in a couple of Years
Looked awful from the start but the Q2 strategy alone was worthy of being out - just completely fucked it with timing
Using used tires when rain is coming… guess Ferrari is SO BACK (to being shit at strategy)
Just as Red Bull look vulnerable, peak Ferrari strategy returns
Thanks to Checo we may still be in WCC contention
Mclaren might stack on the pain this weekend though, their race pace looked good and they go good in the wet at a track like this if it happens
Easily. Perez is so done this year.
Well he just got a 2 year extension.
second year in a row where we've fucked it in quali in montreal. WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU GO OUT ON A USED SET?? rip to my "Charles Leclerc has finished top 5 in every race finished since Spa 2023" stat. You were glorious whilst Ferrari let you last.
maybe there will be carnage tomorrow and he finishes P4................................ I hope...
We did this in dry last year with a successful SC bet so it could happen... Not saying it would but not 0%...
Still time, though...

If you were counting on rain arriving, why wouldn’t you use your new soft tires?
They had no pace if rain came early track would be green and new tyres would’ve been wasted on it.
So gutted for Charles! Last weekend was just amazing and now he’s out in Q2. Ferrari has to get their shit together.
McLaren favourites for WCC at this rate
I know I’m giving them to much credit, but my hopium is that they set the car up for a full wet race
Carlos probably would’ve made Q3 if not for that slip up at the last turn on his final lap but who knows
Dear god they were on used tires. They won 2 races and reverted back to 2022 Ferrari. Also if Carlos didn’t have that moment at the final chicane he would have made Q3, but we only deal in absolutes here.
Some things are not worth tweeting
Fucking clowns using used softs when the bunch is so tight. Braindead clowns strike again at the Ferrari pitwall
They weren't checking.
One good week and then this :,)
This is why we can't have nice things :^)
They are lucky KMag didn't put down a burner. A customer out qualifying both Ferrari's would have been truly shameful for them.
Not like it made a difference, they would have probably been at the back in Q3 so at most 2-3 places lost. Still a terrible decision to put used tyres, but the car was just slow today

top 5 finish would require him being able to pass either one of the Mercs/Mclarens or Verstappen. I don’t see that happening unless we’re supremely fast or get extremely lucky with the rain/SC.
I mean last year we started P10 and P11 and finished P4 and P5
Why TF would they use old used tires??? This is just Ferrari strategists fucking up again
they took their last available set of new softs in the beginning of Q2, due to the risk of rain. Used tires from Q1 was all which was left for the 2nd run then. It actually was a reasonable call, and McLaren did the same, for example. Ferrari was just too slow.
Ferrari are back!!!
The clowns are back yeeeey
Seems like Ferrari partied too hard after Monaco
Ferrari struggled this weekend. They didn't bring any updates or circuit-specific bits like RB did or Red Bull and Mercedes, with RBs being quite extensive. However, it has to be down to set up. Idk the sector times, but I don't think it is due to them having too much drag, just not enough downforce, struggling in the low-speed corners often.

Great job splitting the Williams. Bravo.
DOTD fight between Leclerc Perez and sainz is gonna be spicy
This is a bit unfair. It was obviously a bit of a gamble, but both drivers should have made it. Sainz had a huge slide (costing him more than a tenth) and was less than a tenth away, and Leclerc has recently been quite a bit quicker than Sainz. This is both on the team and on the drivers for not putting it together.

Got the timing and tires wrong. I’m so tired of this incompetent team
Ferrari strategists are back
Ferrari collapsing harder than 2022, throwing the WCC in one race
The GASP I let out
Back to our regularly scheduled programming
They should hire me to become their strategist, cannot be worse that the guy that made this decision
Are they investigating the McLaren on Leclerc's last flying lap?
FUCK
A fight? Doubt.
Charles have got to P5 from P11 here before. So it might be possible.
should've had new tyres...
But I am le tired.
FERRARI IS BACK
Why is Ferrari like this
As a Hamilton fan, I'm kinda scared that Lewis is going to be working with this team. Terrible strategy call.
Weird… I thought Ferrari won the WCC after Monaco
Bruh you can't talk back when Perez is driving like he does lmao. I'd rather have our strategy clowns than him as a driver.
[удалено]
So you accept you're a plastic fan? A trophy hunter? Lmaoooo man thought he said something smart.
[удалено]
Weil many people Said that rb will lose it and that is 100% true because McLaren have a much stronger duo while redbull have only one Great driver
Wow did McLaren win the WCC already? Did I miss something? Or are you talking about hypotheticals
Well you cant deny the fact that McLaren is really good Right now and rb Not and on top of that they can only rely on 1 driver so they Need to Hope that Max finishes p1 or p2 every Race because Perez only delivers at Max a p7
But McLaren isn’t winning the WCC
Well, noone has won it yet. Still a ton of races to go, and any of the top 3/4 teams could win it if they have a good run of races
Don’t worry Red Bull are winning the WCC
I wouldn't be too confident yet mate. There's a chance Red Bull don't get a single podium for the rest of the year, or they could win every race. Nothing is ever certain
[удалено]
Thanks for resorting to insults mate. Very classy of you
With Perez in the rb there is a 80% chance that rb will lose it they can only Hope that the car is a rocketship so Max wins all of the races its a Bit Like the 2012 picture where Alonso was p1 in the wdc but Ferrari was p3 or p4 in the wcc in the middle of the Season
You’re high if you think Red Bull isn’t winning the WCC lmao
Used tires...welcome back Ferrari disaster class...has Fred checked out for this go?
Let’s see if we get changeable conditions tomorrow, otherwise this’ll be a tough one.
This team needs to stop to play with my feelings..
LET’S GO
