I'm sure there's lots of changes going on in the background but so far, amazing is not the word I'd use...

Leclerc with the PR answer

I don't think we can really draw a conclusion on whether vasseur has done a good job until next year. He hasn't had a chance to direct a car from the start yet, and Ferrari isn't really in a competitive position so any strategy screwup isn't going to be as noticeable.

Agree. Ferrari has had some trademark Ferrari things happening these past races, however, Vasseur does seem to make some changes behind the scenes. Let's see where they'll come out in 24

If only Ferrari F1 performed as well as the Le Mans team did today.

Amazing is a bit of a stretch. At least they're no longer a bunch of clowns.

I just keep thinking of the Vettel episode of DTS with the ferrari marketing/minders and how he wasn't really giving a flying.

Amazing isn’t quite what I’d call it, but he does need a full year to develop a car his way.

[–] 2matt@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I guess amazing doesn’t necessarily mean good?

[–] Xenxs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Good point... "It's amazing how we messed up so much of our progress"

[–] Acetamide@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Amazing in their continuing mediocrity... I would give up my spleen (okay, maybe Leclerc's spleen) to just see them win a championship again. It doesn't even need to be absolutely decisively.

[–] Xenxs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah same here. I've been a Ferrari fan for over 30 years, before the Schumacher era started. It was great experiencing that sort of dominance but after the Mercedes and now RB era, I understand how boring that must have been for others. Right now, I'd love to see 3-4 teams battles for the constructor's championship until the last race.

This is so bizarre to me. Wonder if he would change his mind after the Le Mans.
