yay, Ferrari confirmed Leclerc's engine issue is actually due to short-circuited on injection control module. as this is isolated 1st time seen case, they're not going to run conservative engine mode. Mercedes and Hamilton gonna fear of Ferrari powerful acceleration and top speed this season.

lol, why not Vettel? It's only 2nd race...
Pity Vettel been Ferrari chief racer since 2015 still not getting WDC.

RB energy drinks complains Ferrari has grapefruit flavor fuel additive which gives them 40hp extra, lol

Guys, the engine oil made for oil burning party mode is officially available in our market! Made with Shell V-Power

You can pour this to your 2T bike to see if any difference? Got extra 5hp oomph or not?

Strange, Ferrari fast on the straight, that's easy point to gain. How could Mercedes regain so much on corners? This is Ferrari we are talking about, it's not Williams which does not turn on corner, lol.

Wtf all the Ferrari straightline speed hype, come race day not once challenging the Mercedes at all.
When opponent showing their speed, the Mercedes seems able to come out something extra to regain the top and doesn't matter the Mercedes PU no longer most powerful.

The only way for LH to leave Mercedes for Ferrari is when Mercedes not competitive to win for long period and fiddling with F1.5 team. But by then Vettel also not interested to join Mercedes, lol.

I didn't watch the qualifying yesterday, but reading the report how Mercedes duped Vettel running on his own without slipstream makes me laughing how this year Mercedes toying Ferrari strategy and drivers even though on inferior car! lol

Where are all the Ferrari horsepower advantage? Isn't it suppose to be extra 40hp more than others? Vettel can't even follow Hamilton closely on the Baku power advantage track!

Actually yesterday Leclerc is fast and won the best driver of the day. If he qualified inside top 3, the trophy would be his.
I found this year Vettel is not so comfortable with his car(compare last year), while Leclerc on another hand seems have more consistent fast race pace.

So far f1 hybrid era i think 2nd half season can be call as "Hamilton's season"! Damn, he grabbed so many points on every 2nd half and almost overturn championship with Rosberg on 2016 if not the engine failure at Sepang.

Isn't this year tyre is thinner gauge which have been used on some races last year whereby Merc excels by not having blistering problem and Ferrari struggling? I think this is Merc-spec tyre.

Meanwhile Vettel has to backed-off to conserve fuel on final laps during Baku race, thus eliminating his chance of catching Merc. Vettel hass better pace on medium tyre and potentially overtake Hamilton if not of fuel usage concern. So now Ferrari have tyre problem, handling problem, fuel consumption problem, what else?

Welcome the new Ferrari 064 hybrid turbo PU ready for this weekend's race, let's see will Toto face turn charcoal black, hehe.

Recently there have been popular poetry outside..
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Ferrari is faster
Mercedes 1 - 2

Mercedes's workaround to Ferrari's new PU power:

Wt. ! Looking on the telemetry Ferrari straightline speed is so so fast! Especially during the opening. But once come up corners all the advantages lost! Omg this car can't turn.
https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/...try_comparison/

Imagine with that straightline speed they should be easily 1sec ahead of Mercedes if they can corners better. Remember MM said top speed is a nice bonus and it really helped Bautista and MM dominated WSBK and Motogp this season.

Maybe Italian Power will revenge back at home track top speed power track Monza?

Hamilton would not happy about this! Just before this he voiced out his race engineer went to Bottas side and helped Bottas's recent form. Mercedes Internal Civil War 2.0?

Good job Ferrari strategist, let Leclerc to race and block Vettel!

Very exciting during the start and instance restart after safety car!
Business as usual, you gave Hamilton pressure he will overcome it with style.
