@Desert_Rogue_Tanker the issue here is that they may fall into what happened with everyone in 23 where everyone switched concepts and were by extension were behind in delvopment vs Red Bull
The front shifted balance makes it easier for turning into the corners and it's better setup, for people who use brakes to turn in and accelerate out it's the go to setup. Edit: Thank You, for the 200 likes. And for dummies who are confused it's brakes used to turn in which brakes do that if you setup the balance that way and, accelerate out is simply when you floor it to get some rotation more than the steering input, it's a very well earned experienced technique in driving, not for noobs, some Very Rare and talented drivers Such As Kimi Raikkonen were good enough to do these and maximise the output of their cars, back when cars weren't that finicky.
@@Ri_Shin_Marco Leclerc and Lewis both have that early turn in style (so does Max - which explains why the Redbull cars are harder for others to drive) Ferrari now have two very good short turn in drivers so they can focus only on that style.
Yes and no max and Charles are early breakers as for Lewis he is a late breaker that matters Max and Charles prefer a stable front and loose rear As for Lewis he wants a stable rear this was shown in the 2022 car struggling he had cause the cockpit was so far ahead meaning the rear was unstable
@bman977 max and Charles like a pointy front (doesn't have to be stable) and a rear they can manipulate to keep the car stable and in line, max with his steering input and Charles with throttle input midcorner.
i feel like it's true but in the sense that they slightly modify every part, it's not a 99% different car but 99% of the parts have been changed somewhat
Might be 99% new but the philosophy of the new concept will still be influenced by everything they’ve learned over these regs and not just a shot in the dark
I can't stand Ferrari and Mercedes. But I want them competitive because I want four to five teams fighting for the championship at least every year not just the top three. Hopefully Aston Martin or baby Red Bull hell even Williams or Alpine climb their way into being a podium worthy car. Not saying that any of the bottom teams will be able to jump up and be able to fight with the big boys I just want to see them get those random podiums when they get the setups right and the race goes their way. Of course this is going to be one of the most competitive Seasons because the rules have been stabilized for so long that we're going to be so disappointed next season when they change the regulations in one team gets it Dead on😂😂
As a life long Ferrari fan, I'm thrilled but also veeery scared by these news. It could surprisingly dominate or be a complete shitbox. Praying it won't be the latter. Hopefully the 99% difference is related to the beginning of the year SF-24, since the car already changed a substantial amount throughout the 2024 season! 🙏
The suspension change might not be that drastic, considering Ferrari ran the pullrod configuration already in 2012, '14 & '15. At least they have got some experience in that field, unlike many others. They probably have to go that way, because the SF24 was limited in fast and long radius corners. There were some rumours coming after the Spanish GP that the suspension couldn't cope with the loads the upgraded floor produced, made the car unstable and lead to bouncing under high speed. The later versions of the floor seemed to have helped curing some of their issues, but they probably also had to give up downforce to achieve good results. Ferrari need to make sure they don't overdo it in favoring high speed corners over the low speed ones, because that may cost them a lot of laptime, if they get it wrong.
@@purwantiallan5089 balance of the 2020 car is far from the worst lol. Only reason that car was so slow because their illegal 2019 engine got nerfed and they lost prob 50-100 bhp.

@@KopJustin Not really. The Ferrari has suffered from chronic understeer throughout this regulation, and it's about damn time they're finally doing something about it. Balance is everything for these cars.

About the F1 topic the Ferrari supplying Engines to Cadillac wasn't on my cards, but this might just turn out to be a brilliant for Cadillac because after Mercedes, Ferrari was the only manufacturer team to get the engine Formula correct, Honda got it very late. So Cadillac if the Aero Platform is stable and good they're going to turn out to be decent team for top 5 contention, because HAAS with nominal expenses finished almost 6th with a Ferrari engine, so yeah they're really up there in the contention game.
The Ferrari engine is the best now, especially at slow speed tracks where its smaller turbo allows for better acelleration out of slow speed corners. However, the Mercedes and Honda only make about 5hp less, so really the deciding factor is money and polotics. The Haas is so strong because it takes the suspension and breakes from the Ferrari as well, which id argure were the best on the grid by some margin, and worked with the engine as a cohesive package, especially at slow speed tracks.
I’m surprised it took SF this long to change the suspension philosophy. This is a fundamental change to the car and should make a huge difference once they understand what the car is doing and why.
By the way the position of the cockpit has nothing to do with the balance of the car, even James Alison said it in one of Mercedes videos, their car was just snappy and difficult to control. Because of multiple other elements, aero, suspension and others
@@essamallawi9605 no. Lewis was saying his feeling and balance was off because of positioning which is 100% accurate. You’ve clearly never raced on a track before, it makes a difference. Also tbf in 2024 merc didn’t listen to him and his send off year was quite a shitshow from merc so I’m not surprised fans of his say merc are disrespectful. From what I’ve seen they’re all happy he’s left and gone to Ferrari, there’s no whinging or moaning from his fans.. a lot from other drivers fans tho it seems lol
@harry4454 so you raced before? Those are not my words, go check out the video when James mentioned it. I believe when Mercedes revealed their 2024 car. He actually said it! Lewis is one of the greatest if not the greatest ever but he's not an engineer. The car was snappy, and when it SNAPPED, the driver doesn't feel it. Well, because it SNAPPES!
Hey Miki how you doing, hope you are well and Merry Christmas to you and your family and may God bless you with lots of happiness and prosperity in your life.
Great work! Hey Man you deserve so much 100.000 subscribers!!!!!! here at west european coast . I've joined in when you had a few subs , only...! Now go for it!!! 100k on sight 📈
the reason it still makes sense is because Leclerc and Hamilton has a very similar driving style so it will benefit both drivers. Sainz had trouble with the car most often as his style was different compare to Leclerc. Ferrari saying it will be 99% new does not mean it will not be based on the 2024, but they will do slight modifications to everything. Obviously the powertrain gets changes as well, but aero and suspension will see the biggest changes. These actually go hand in hand so it only makes sense.
I think what these regulations produced were who can nail the setup windows. Ferrari have a wide setup window for only specific tracks, and on slow speed tracks they’re one of the best. McLaren has the largest setup window and hence why they are good on basically every track, and again, specialise in high heat races. Red bull have the most narrow setup window that they’re struggling to find every race. But when they do get it right, the car can easily be the best, as shown with Austria where they were in decline in performance, but got the setup right in qualifying and same for spa and Qatar. They might be better off sacrificing some performance to be consistently in their setup window each track. They’re pretty similar to Mercedes, every now and again they can be fast but they’re not too sure why
Lewis struggled a lot because the Merc requires continuous pedal and steering adjustment in corners. This merc would have been suitable for drivers like Michael Schumacher or Alonso who are early brakers and continuous tap the accelerator in the corner thus using the accelerator to adjust car positioning, whereas Lewis attacks the corner and brakers, completely brakes the car and then accelerates. I have looked at John Herbert and Michael Schumacher steering and pedal traces its also similar with Russell and Lewis and both Russel and Schuey have similar approaches of breaking early and adjusting the positioning and gently accelerating hence faster than teammates in corners
My Dude. Idk if someone already said this in comments or not, but Red suits you! Also, a question: are there any new things you have upcoming for new season? Graphics/identity wise? Not to compare or anything, Tommo does work on new assets and color touches for his channel every year; and you have a very strong established style so wondered if that's in your mind(?) Just as a fan, looking forward to see this channel grow! ✌️
From an engineering perspective the use of the figure 99% is for effect.There will be parts overlap between the SF24 and SF25/Project 677.For instance there is an engine performance development freeze,that only allows modifications to the power unit for “reliability purposes”. The switch to pull rod front suspension lowers the Cg and allows a cleaner airflow stream to the T-tray as well the opening of the Venturi tunnels.The cockpit position has more to do with driver feel of the rear axel rather than the balance/Cg of the car.The change in the front and rear suspension design will allow the car to have a larger setup window along with aiding in bump compliance.
Wow, that's fast my friend. The changes to suspension, like you said, should have been in 2024. Redbull proved for two seasons with the current regulations, that front pull rod suspension gives much performance. McLaren used it but opted to go redbull way and brought them the constructors. Excited for Ferrari and F1 as we are going to have a dog fight for the championship. Wish you very Merry Christmas 🎄
Going through this much change this late can be difficult to map out for someone who notoriously dislikes simulator time as much as Hamilton does. It's not perfect, but you can at least get a good idea of how the changes will affect the car all-around. Ferrari doesn't want to get themselves into a corner with a car that can be quick, but eat up tires. I could see both drivers getting stuck out there begging for tire changes, but having a lot of static from the pits.
Hamilton didn’t like simulator work before, like when simulators were shit back 10+ years ago. Since 2020 he’s been a lot more active in the sim than he was before
Its good Ferrari are going strong and confident. It may back fire as they've only just built consistency into the tyres for the first year of many. Fingers crossed they are learned changes and not shot in the dark or desperate moves.
What they need to improve is tire management, how fast it gets into the window and degradation. Ferrari out of all the top cars, when in the window, is still the car that chews the tires the most, usually end up overheating them which then makes them lose pace throughout the race. That's why sometimes (when they got it right) they would be up there fighting with RB and McLaren, but as the race went along, they would fall dramatically (to like 5th/6th) place. That's all due to tire life. So I'm not surprised if there's lots of work put into the suspension system.
I think it probably has to do with the SF-24 concept reaching a development ceiling, and the only way to unlock massive performance gains is by taking risks and try new ideas
I think even if Lewis don't win WDC with Ferrari it's a really good merit to have been driving for Ferrari. And it will look great on his resume and he might even be remembered as a Ferrari driver. And in terms of F1 team it was the one missing also.
My understanding of using pushrod suspension layout over pullrod for the rear is that you can create a bigger space to angle the air towards the diffuser. It’s definitely the ideal option considering the success both Red Bull and McLaren have had in recent years.
New f1 fan here. How much change can they deliver at the end of the regulation year cycle when other teams are focusing on 2026 already and what does changing 99% even mean? they suddenly cracked the code after everyone tried for years?
How does this jive with F1 announcers saying people's 2025 cars are going to be basically the same as their 2024 ones, because everyone's R&D focus will be on the new spec coming out in 2026?
I wonder if they are doing it now beacause they were afraid carlos would not like the on the nose driving it might impose on drivers, doing it now might be because they will now have two drivers who like this different style of driving
It is a huge risk but with Hamilton in the car he is very well known as being very good at setting a car up and looks at it from a engineer perspective
I'm nervous now - hope they dont loose the momentum from 23'/24'. Do you think there will be learning's from the 25' car that will transfer into 2026? It seema weird to do such a big change if they jeopardise their 2026 campaign.
Ferrari has always come up with a good car in the beginning of the season in this aero regulations and its the same statement as Fred said last year about 99%... I hope Loic serra knows what he's doing. I do feel that ferrari knows where they lack and thats why suspension n chasis change to chase that last one thousand of sec. I'm praying for them to nail it.
Only mildly concerned with Fred indicating a major overhaul for the Project 677 (SF-25) in that the identified initial deviations of the SF-24 from the other CY24 cars were evident from the beginning of last season (suspension being the most glaring) and I think once Ferrari saw McLaren's final form car start coalescing in Miami then Ferrari started designing their 2025 car. I mean Fred knows what Charles likes, knows what Lewis likes, knows what works on track for the current era and Ferrari is now first off-the-line for announcing their 2025 (individual) car reveal. Essentially, I feel confidence being projected from Fred and his Ferrari team about next year and after coming so close to the WCC (WDC...what will be!!!!) in 2024, they are absolutely hungry for their time to arrive! In addition, RBR will still have some struggles with the RB-21 next year and Mercedes is looking to be closer to a caretaker status in 2025 while focusing nearly holistically on their 2026 chassis for their 2026 highly likely race slaying engine. Cheers and appreciate the content!
I wear a Ferrari T shirt too! I’m not really enthusiastic about this 99% change, especially after the recent SF history of development. BTW, you said they redesigned the gearbox, how about the engine, is it also new? The gear box can be used in 2026, but the engine can’t! Don’t tell me Ferrari decided invest resources on a one year reliability learning curve, that I wouldn’t understand.🤦 I’m also not enthusiastic about the Hamilton move, not at this point in his career, where he MUST demonstrate something. This will create what in Italy we call a “ two roosters 🐓 in a chicken coop”” scenario. I’ve just seen a video with the crashes between Lewis and Nico, not good man!
They are making the car more stiff, a bit bouncy and with a very narrow operating window... to make Lewis at home. But on a serious note it will be insane to see these two next year. Ferrari might win the constructors championship next year. But alot can happen during the winter and you never rule Red Bull out. They have been on top or around the top for 16 years in a row and no other team has a better average over the last two decades
As much as I have enjoyed RedBull. Seeing how they’ve gave Liam the second seat instead of Yuki puts in my mind that they dont have any confidence in their driver program. Giving a rookie what is considered the most “pressured” seat in Formula and hoping his short stints in last season and now sounds like a recipe for disaster.
These comments... Ferrari aren't making a "Lewis car" or a "Charles car". They're making the best balanced car they can provide to win the championship. The drivers really don't make the decisions you think they do. This season Ferrari probably had the best balanced car on paper, and still they suffered from tyre temp issues and understeer hitting them at the worst moment in Q3. This is what they're working on to fix and if they deliver, boy will it be fireworks.
What the heck is going on with videos? On January 1st, work starts in 2026. Nobody will spend a dime on the 2025 cars, which will be 95% the same as the 2024 ones. Mid-teams may try out parts that can be carried over.
Hamiltons ego will put Ferraris progress back five years. LeCleuq will feel the squeeze and the tension in the pits will hurt the team overall. Lewis is not the answer to make Ferrari dominant again.
@@stevenst6337 yeah, with carryover from earlier in the season where he had the fastest car by a huge margin. Else he wouldn’t be champion. It’s not like he won in a year round bad car.
@@ToneHelix97 his car was fastest in 7 races and one of those he had a mechanical dnf lol. Mclaren had rock solid reliability all season long and a very very consistent car. It was already scoring podiums in the 3rd race. Landos worse result in the early season was p8 Bahrain. Max had plenty of races where his car was that was bad.
“Next year will be our year” this is a quote we’ve gotten use to.
Sadly :(
To be honest and fair, Ferrari nearly won the constructors championship in 24.so assuming it continues, Ferrari can achieve
2024 was pretty close to them winning the WCC. And they might've gotten it had the FIA clarified the rules re: McLaren earlier
When did you hear Ferrari saying that?
@Desert_Rogue_Tanker the issue here is that they may fall into what happened with everyone in 23 where everyone switched concepts and were by extension were behind in delvopment vs Red Bull
A pretty huge gamble to take in the final year of the regs but hope it pays off for them. A good Ferrari is good for F1.
Doesn't matter if it doesn't pay off, like next to next year, the car will be fully changed
Absolutely
same here, I don't root for any team, but I do root for competition and good racing. plus, it's always nice to see engineering at the top of the game
I reckon ferrari is tryin to get a head start on the 26 regs and sf25 will provide the somewhat of a foundation for those regulations
probably had 2 year plan while getting 5th in world championship

My Dude. Idk if someone already said this in comments or not, but Red suits you!
Also, a question: are there any new things you have upcoming for new season? Graphics/identity wise? Not to compare or anything, Tommo does work on new assets and color touches for his channel every year; and you have a very strong established style so wondered if that's in your mind(?) Just as a fan, looking forward to see this channel grow! ✌️
From an engineering perspective the use of the figure 99% is for effect.There will be parts overlap between the SF24 and SF25/Project 677.For instance there is an engine performance development freeze,that only allows modifications to the power unit for “reliability purposes”. The switch to pull rod front suspension lowers the Cg and allows a cleaner airflow stream to the T-tray as well the opening of the Venturi tunnels.The cockpit position has more to do with driver feel of the rear axel rather than the balance/Cg of the car.The change in the front and rear suspension design will allow the car to have a larger setup window along with aiding in bump compliance.
Wow, that's fast my friend. The changes to suspension, like you said, should have been in 2024. Redbull proved for two seasons with the current regulations, that front pull rod suspension gives much performance. McLaren used it but opted to go redbull way and brought them the constructors. Excited for Ferrari and F1 as we are going to have a dog fight for the championship. Wish you very Merry Christmas 🎄
Its interesting that Ferrari named this project 677 and you having 67,7k subscribers.
😁😁❤️
2nd in constructors, redesign the car and switch #5 driver with # 7, this is the strategy that cements 2008 as Ferrari's last constructor win.
I just hope it doesn’t effect the work for the 2026 car
Great video. I liked how there wasn't any suspense building, speculation and exaggeration like some other channels do.
Going through this much change this late can be difficult to map out for someone who notoriously dislikes simulator time as much as Hamilton does. It's not perfect, but you can at least get a good idea of how the changes will affect the car all-around.
Ferrari doesn't want to get themselves into a corner with a car that can be quick, but eat up tires. I could see both drivers getting stuck out there begging for tire changes, but having a lot of static from the pits.
Hamilton didn’t like simulator work before, like when simulators were shit back 10+ years ago. Since 2020 he’s been a lot more active in the sim than he was before
@
He'll need that with a new car becoming even more new, then the advent of 2026.
Nothing ventured nothing gained. Go for it Ferrari and good luck for 2025.
Looking good with short hair bro
Thank you my friend ❤️
Its good Ferrari are going strong and confident. It may back fire as they've only just built consistency into the tyres for the first year of many. Fingers crossed they are learned changes and not shot in the dark or desperate moves.
What they need to improve is tire management, how fast it gets into the window and degradation. Ferrari out of all the top cars, when in the window, is still the car that chews the tires the most, usually end up overheating them which then makes them lose pace throughout the race. That's why sometimes (when they got it right) they would be up there fighting with RB and McLaren, but as the race went along, they would fall dramatically (to like 5th/6th) place.
That's all due to tire life. So I'm not surprised if there's lots of work put into the suspension system.
I think it probably has to do with the SF-24 concept reaching a development ceiling, and the only way to unlock massive performance gains is by taking risks and try new ideas
Hope you’re doing ok! You look a bit tired
Hope you get a great and relaxing new years break
Not a Ferrari fan, but let's hope the car is competitive. It'd be nice to have a whole season with at least 3 closely matched teams.
Delete the HP blue and you'll get at least +20bHP
I think even if Lewis don't win WDC with Ferrari it's a really good merit to have been driving for Ferrari. And it will look great on his resume and he might even be remembered as a Ferrari driver.
And in terms of F1 team it was the one missing also.
My understanding of using pushrod suspension layout over pullrod for the rear is that you can create a bigger space to angle the air towards the diffuser.
It’s definitely the ideal option considering the success both Red Bull and McLaren have had in recent years.
It's almost a requirement for ground effect due to the anti squat characteristics it enables.
Can you make some video on WEC? The manufactures participating are interesting
New f1 fan here. How much change can they deliver at the end of the regulation year cycle when other teams are focusing on 2026 already and what does changing 99% even mean? they suddenly cracked the code after everyone tried for years?
As a Ferrari enjoyer, I'm ready for the "It's so over" phase
Im loving the new(ish) haircut but i do miss f1 jesus sometimes :)
Thank you my friend and will see if it comes back at some point :)
How does this jive with F1 announcers saying people's 2025 cars are going to be basically the same as their 2024 ones, because everyone's R&D focus will be on the new spec coming out in 2026?
They can only start working on these new cars Jan 1 25 so the car that have been in the wind tunnel since probably September will be the 2025 cars
I wonder if they are doing it now beacause they were afraid carlos would not like the on the nose driving it might impose on drivers, doing it now might be because they will now have two drivers who like this different style of driving
Two drivers with similar driving styles. Now Ferrari doesn't have to accommodate for Sainz
I really just hope they don't end up "upgrading" their car like Merc
It is a huge risk but with Hamilton in the car he is very well known as being very good at setting a car up and looks at it from a engineer perspective
No coincidence he said before he would have been an engineer had he not been in F1
1:47 livery🤤.. they need to bring back the barcode livery it was 🔥
I'm nervous now - hope they dont loose the momentum from 23'/24'. Do you think there will be learning's from the 25' car that will transfer into 2026? It seema weird to do such a big change if they jeopardise their 2026 campaign.
Sick renders
Ferrari has always come up with a good car in the beginning of the season in this aero regulations and its the same statement as Fred said last year about 99%... I hope Loic serra knows what he's doing. I do feel that ferrari knows where they lack and thats why suspension n chasis change to chase that last one thousand of sec.
I'm praying for them to nail it.
Can't wait for 2025. I'm already laughing at this point. Why change the car, I thought they hired they say the best, isn't that enough? 😂
Only mildly concerned with Fred indicating a major overhaul for the Project 677 (SF-25) in that the identified initial deviations of the SF-24 from the other CY24 cars were evident from the beginning of last season (suspension being the most glaring) and I think once Ferrari saw McLaren's final form car start coalescing in Miami then Ferrari started designing their 2025 car. I mean Fred knows what Charles likes, knows what Lewis likes, knows what works on track for the current era and Ferrari is now first off-the-line for announcing their 2025 (individual) car reveal. Essentially, I feel confidence being projected from Fred and his Ferrari team about next year and after coming so close to the WCC (WDC...what will be!!!!) in 2024, they are absolutely hungry for their time to arrive! In addition, RBR will still have some struggles with the RB-21 next year and Mercedes is looking to be closer to a caretaker status in 2025 while focusing nearly holistically on their 2026 chassis for their 2026 highly likely race slaying engine. Cheers and appreciate the content!
Here we go it's started. It's not even the end of the year.
All this ends up like huge upgrades before Austin. And end the season with zero upgrades.
0:05 Oh if Ferrari rocked a candy apple red livery..... 🎵AAAAAAAAAAH🎶👼
I wear a Ferrari T shirt too! I’m not really enthusiastic about this 99% change, especially after the recent SF history of development. BTW, you said they redesigned the gearbox, how about the engine, is it also new? The gear box can be used in 2026, but the engine can’t! Don’t tell me Ferrari decided invest resources on a one year reliability learning curve, that I wouldn’t understand.🤦 I’m also not enthusiastic about the Hamilton move, not at this point in his career, where he MUST demonstrate something. This will create what in Italy we call a “ two roosters 🐓 in a chicken coop”” scenario. I’ve just seen a video with the crashes between Lewis and Nico, not good man!
They are making the car more stiff, a bit bouncy and with a very narrow operating window... to make Lewis at home. But on a serious note it will be insane to see these two next year. Ferrari might win the constructors championship next year. But alot can happen during the winter and you never rule Red Bull out. They have been on top or around the top for 16 years in a row and no other team has a better average over the last two decades
Literally been in the top 3 every year since 2009 bar 2015. Crazy consistency
Ferrari wants both titles this time ..its gonna happen
Like the gypsy said to Jim Clark, "You will win but never race in the red car. You will ..." 😳🥺😱😭
Seems like Ferrari in 2025 gonna be as dominant as 2001 at the hands of Hamilton & Leclerc.
Im sure ferrari will make this work and we get a Lewis or Charles title. But I still have a small feeling that this might fail miserably.
Where the hell does this information come from? Ferrari have no incentive to tell anybody any of this... feels like its just a huge guessing game.
As much as I have enjoyed RedBull. Seeing how they’ve gave Liam the second seat instead of Yuki puts in my mind that they dont have any confidence in their driver program. Giving a rookie what is considered the most “pressured” seat in Formula and hoping his short stints in last season and now sounds like a recipe for disaster.
sounds like a crash and burn kinda situation oh god
It will be good seeing Lewis at Ferrari
0:04 that’s an Aston Martin
they understand it now
In Fred we trust.
These comments... Ferrari aren't making a "Lewis car" or a "Charles car". They're making the best balanced car they can provide to win the championship. The drivers really don't make the decisions you think they do. This season Ferrari probably had the best balanced car on paper, and still they suffered from tyre temp issues and understeer hitting them at the worst moment in Q3. This is what they're working on to fix and if they deliver, boy will it be fireworks.
What the heck is going on with videos? On January 1st, work starts in 2026. Nobody will spend a dime on the 2025 cars, which will be 95% the same as the 2024 ones. Mid-teams may try out parts that can be carried over.
He won at Mclaren..he won at Mercedes..he wins in Ferrari..i want to hear this from crofty❤
It's gonna be Charles vs Lewis
Well the car does play an impact but the main thing they should change is there STRATEGY
Their strategy was great this year.
@@dustinmcgovney7684 Not in Canada or Silverstone, could have done better, but ig better than 2023
They did the same for the 2024 car, i mean identical reports at this time last year of only 1% being the same. But it worked out.
Hopefully they do not end up like Mclaren in 2013.
This was always the plan... Charles and Lewis similar driving style development and setup can be way more focused now
Hamiltons ego will put Ferraris progress back five years. LeCleuq will feel the squeeze and the tension in the pits will hurt the team overall. Lewis is not the answer to make Ferrari dominant again.
Just before a huge regulation change?
Imagine Lewis winning the 2025 championship with Ferrari.
Cant wait mate ..
Not realistic
Are they adapting to Lewis style?
I hope they focus on delivering a car for Charles. He is the future of Ferrari, not Lewis.
This is normal for all the teams.
Charles will beat him comprehensively!
They don’t all like competition. Max doesnt.
Max wants a weak teammate ..can you imagine Leclerc and Max in one team ? Max will retire before season is over ..cant handle it
Max just won WDC in third fastest car......cope.
Yeah, its not like he crushed the COMPETITION and became WC for the past 4 years. Oh wait, he DID.
@@stevenst6337 yeah, with carryover from earlier in the season where he had the fastest car by a huge margin. Else he wouldn’t be champion. It’s not like he won in a year round bad car.
@@ToneHelix97 his car was fastest in 7 races and one of those he had a mechanical dnf lol. Mclaren had rock solid reliability all season long and a very very consistent car. It was already scoring podiums in the 3rd race. Landos worse result in the early season was p8 Bahrain. Max had plenty of races where his car was that was bad.
