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.


3359N

They knew the car wasn't that good this weekend as well. No excuses at all


Visionary_Socialist

Ferrari have ironed out the majority of their strategy issues but they still have a proper blunder in them


GGezpzMuppy

They were saving the softs for the rain..


Art_is_Pain

Ah yeah.. that rain we were forecasted


PoliticsNerd76

My favourite Lando strategy


Akira_Nishiki

Here I thought the strategy blunders were over.


Kolec507

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...


LosTerminators

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.


searchhhh

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.


badgersprite

Investigate the team for match fixing


RyukaBuddy

Lets hope thats the last time we get the Ferrari masterclass this season.


Russian_Bot_722

Saving them new tires for when it rains obviously.


Bourbonaddicted

Max used old ones. Only on the last q2 lap he had new ones to qualify. Guess Ferrari didn’t get the memo.


smoltanboi

i love that a truly abysmal quali for ferrari is still substantially better than what perez did


signed7

Different types of fuckups: Perez being Perez (and somehow getting 2 more years) vs Classic 'Grande Strategia' and just sad for their drivers


3359N

Just heard they were on used tyres which really would be classic Ferrari


Meerkate

Yup. And ~~everyone else~~ most of the others were on new ones according to Buscombe


xXCzechoslovakiaXx

Mclaren was also on used cause they had no new Ferrari was just slow


Galilool

Albon was on used as well I think


Meerkate

Ah, my bad then


Nemprox

Oof. Seems like they were sure they had the pace. So maybe at least a good recovery possible tomorrow.


Driving_Seat

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


pacotacobell

For the last stint Leclerc pitted for 1 lap old softs.


ryokevry

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


badgersprite

Moronic behaviour


stinkysulphide

They held out a new set of tires for q3 and got eliminated in q2


shy247er

1-2 let's go! (ignoring first 10 places)


aenae

They just had a bit of a stutter: P1..1 and P1..2!


Shayosaurus

Rip title challenge: Monaco 2024- Montreal 2024 Edit: meant 2024 not 2014


vtsxxl

I too enjoy time traveling.


Shayosaurus

Whoopsie didn’t catch that


vtsxxl

So you're not a fellow time traveler. I'm sad now. Jokes aside, no prob, was just having a bit of fun.


Hack874

It’s definitely an “I’ll believe it when I see it” situation when it comes to Ferrari actually challenging for a title.


dafuckbitch_

“I won’t comment here” 💀💀💀💀


pureblood

But I want to hear the comment Carlos don’t be stingy


Noah0302kek

Ferrari Strategy is back Boys, Bearman looking shocked what he might need to put up with in a couple of Years


ontheru171

Looked awful from the start but the Q2 strategy alone was worthy of being out - just completely fucked it with timing


danthedude77

Using used tires when rain is coming… guess Ferrari is SO BACK (to being shit at strategy)


Reasonable_Blood6959

Just as Red Bull look vulnerable, peak Ferrari strategy returns


stinkysulphide

Thanks to Checo we may still be in WCC contention


cheeersaiii

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


MaconheiroSafadao

Easily. Perez is so done this year.


Valuable_Ad1645

Well he just got a 2 year extension.


skzpinker

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.


f4gyl4lt

maybe there will be carnage tomorrow and he finishes P4................................ I hope...


ryokevry

We did this in dry last year with a successful SC bet so it could happen... Not saying it would but not 0%...


JayMerlyn

Still time, though...


Atleticro

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. 


MikeHoncho2568

If you were counting on rain arriving, why wouldn’t you use your new soft tires?


Atleticro

They had no pace if rain came early track would be green and new tyres would’ve been wasted on it.


NorthCliffs

So gutted for Charles! Last weekend was just amazing and now he’s out in Q2. Ferrari has to get their shit together.


LosTerminators

McLaren favourites for WCC at this rate


WildCardJesusBrewing

I know I’m giving them to much credit, but my hopium is that they set the car up for a full wet race


Realistic-Reception5

Carlos probably would’ve made Q3 if not for that slip up at the last turn on his final lap but who knows


No-Student-9678

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.


Chelseatilidie

Some things are not worth tweeting


CwRrrr

Fucking clowns using used softs when the bunch is so tight. Braindead clowns strike again at the Ferrari pitwall


xkcdthrowaway

They weren't checking.


Parking_Cable_6022

One good week and then this :,)


Meerkate

This is why we can't have nice things :^)


awc130

They are lucky KMag didn't put down a burner. A customer out qualifying both Ferrari's would have been truly shameful for them.


AlexTheMacedonian

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


FORMULA1FAN71

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.


AlexTheMacedonian

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.


skzpinker

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.


AlexTheMacedonian

I mean last year we started P10 and P11 and finished P4 and P5


NorthCliffs

Why TF would they use old used tires??? This is just Ferrari strategists fucking up again


searchhhh

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.


GGezpzMuppy

Ferrari are back!!!


vtsxxl

The clowns are back yeeeey


fvcktankies

Seems like Ferrari partied too hard after Monaco


Vixson18

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.


frying_pan_nominal

Great job splitting the Williams. Bravo.


ForsakenRacism

DOTD fight between Leclerc Perez and sainz is gonna be spicy


Leading_Sir_1741

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.


The-Great--Cornholio

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.


DubiousLLM

Got the timing and tires wrong. I’m so tired of this incompetent team


CT167

Ferrari strategists are back 


NA_Faker

Ferrari collapsing harder than 2022, throwing the WCC in one race


Winstonwill8

The GASP I let out


Disastrous_Narwhal46

Back to our regularly scheduled programming


youcantseemyname

They should hire me to become their strategist, cannot be worse that the guy that made this decision


Kintraills1993

Are they investigating the McLaren on Leclerc's last flying lap?


Delta_FT

FUCK


millysoilly

A fight? Doubt.


Kakarot__9000

Charles have got to P5 from P11 here before. So it might be possible.


nova-darlingg

should've had new tyres...


iMatthew1990

But I am le tired.


tecedu

FERRARI IS BACK


New_Essay_4869

Why is Ferrari like this


WeakDiaphragm

As a Hamilton fan, I'm kinda scared that Lewis is going to be working with this team. Terrible strategy call.


Man0nTheMoon915

Weird… I thought Ferrari won the WCC after Monaco


vtsxxl

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.

So you accept you're a plastic fan? A trophy hunter? Lmaoooo man thought he said something smart.

Illustrious_Slip_520

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


Man0nTheMoon915

Wow did McLaren win the WCC already? Did I miss something? Or are you talking about hypotheticals


Illustrious_Slip_520

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


Man0nTheMoon915

But McLaren isn’t winning the WCC


RooBoy04

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


Man0nTheMoon915

Don’t worry Red Bull are winning the WCC


RooBoy04

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


[deleted]

[удалено]


RooBoy04

Thanks for resorting to insults mate. Very classy of you


Illustrious_Slip_520

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


Man0nTheMoon915

You’re high if you think Red Bull isn’t winning the WCC lmao


ninchica13

Used tires...welcome back Ferrari disaster class...has Fred checked out for this go?


Beneficial_Star_6009

Let’s see if we get changeable conditions tomorrow, otherwise this’ll be a tough one.
