As a Ferrari fan, for the first time in years, I don’t have anything to realistically BLAST Ferrari about.

Nobody expected it at all, the media spent all winter hyping Mclaren and Mercedes only for Ferrari the 'Basic' car to be comfortbale clear of them

If Lewis got his 8th WDC with Ferrari, imma start to eat salad for breakfast

There’s something about French Team Principals at Ferrari that just works, isn’t there?

It’s going to be hilarious if next year we get a battle for the championship, right before the regulations change again 😂😂

They were in 2022. Their technical department seems to have a good understanding of these regulations, so if anyone can match RB it's Ferrari

Ferrari has definitely closed the gap compared to last year, but Red Bull is on another level. So, they are not a threat for them...yet

I remember the videos this channel did with their “experts” 💩 on Ferrari car launch and praised Aston and especially Mercedes.

The 2020 season vibes are on. If history repeats itself we should have a 2025 title fight, Leclerc championship and rhen Ferrari dominance in 26 regs. Im fine! I can quit the copium anytime I want!

It's been night and day with respect to Strategy since Fred joined the team. In every area, they are a better team

Well then, I guess 2025 will be Our Year (tm)? And when it inevitably won't be, 2026 will be Our Year (tm) fosure.

It would be very Ferrari if they get within a few points of catching Red Bull in 2025 and then completely bungle the 2026 aero regs

The most conservative looking car they all said turns out to be best of the rest and consistently. It goes to show Ferrari had a good base to start from in these regs compared to the rest and even though 2023 was a setback theyve clearly understood and have a very good platform to work on, we can only see more improvement as the season goes on and this aligns well for 2026 if Ferrari have the best PU along with good aerodynamics

What just find so incredibly pleasing, is that Ferrari had to cough up $446 million dollars for Lewis Hamilton, and they get rid of Sainz that earned a fraction of that number. I just hope Sainz ends up in the right seat next year and beats Ferrari in every single race. I can't help myself, i just want to see that happening .

lol Red Bull only and biggest threat is themselves. Not Ferrari

Those ONLY 5 wins are (bar one, that was George Russels) the only wins of the past 2 seasons that Red Bull didn't win. So I'd say they did pretty good.

The race: all about the hype…

I love how the past few seasons everyone is like we need to look forward to 202X to try improve to catch RB. There is a constant promise in F1 of oh it will be better in 3+ years time... forgeting that the fans have to sit through the preceding years everyone is writing off.

My only question after this video is why is Ferrari releasing Sainz?

I just think Sainz having his seat taken is a massive mistake. I hope he finds a good seat next year. He deserves it. Red Bull race pace is still way too strong with Max behind the wheel. Can't see that changing anytime soon.

Edd you were wrong about Ferrari this year!

Almost all other team changed their philosophy. Ferrari didn't so they understood their cars more. But RBR and Max are still far ahead of everyone so it don't really matter, just wait for 2026 to see who will dominate the next regulation.

Next year could actually be a great year for us, unless they fuck it up like Merc has this year.

This video is music to a Ferrari fanboy, thank you for making the video.. Forza Ferrari!!

Great video guys. Ferrari's biggest weakness for the last couple of years was without doubt their tyre management and therefore race pace and it seems they have fixed this issue, even going so far as making it a relative strength (based on the evidence of leclercs tyre management in Suzuka). I don't think the constructors will be so easy for red bull this year, sure they have the quickest car but Ferrari have a stronger overall driver line up.

I’d be so surprised if the the-race ever comes up with actual insight that isn’t completely visible to the entire universe

Fred is better than Binnoto. ANYTHING can be better than Binnoto. Let's just hope that Adami and Xavi improve lmao.

Link to the background music? I love it :)

What if in 2022 because there was a lot of poles there was deg when leclerc was pushing (maybe too much) compared to max and now they are in 2nd row and if they push there would be signs of deg?

how is that any different from e.g. 2017 or 2018 whem they were 2nd to the Mercs?

2017-2018 was like this back then against Mercedes, but we all know how this is going to end...

That tyre management during the race was superb. Good job Carlos and Charles! The team did everything they could in Japan, with what they had to work with, so proud of them! 👏 ❤🇮🇹 Forza C² ❤❤💪🏽💪🏽 💚🤍❤ Forza Ferrari! 💚🤍❤

I have questions re. the tire deg numbers 🤔

at the start of 2022 Ferrari didn't particularly suffer from degradation. MIAMI was the worst culprit but generally it perfomed well until the TD. on top of the first few races, Silverstone, Barcelona, Austria, Hungary (practice) are all good examples..

Now that they have a good foundation and are building in the right direction in typical Ferrari fashion they will fire Vassuer at the end of this season

Ferrari should’ve been expected to be the 2nd best team they ended it that way last year and mclaren fell off

Finally a positive Ferrari video using an English accent

you failed to mention the reason Ferrari pulled the one stop was because of the extended SC

Also helps that Sainz drivrs out of his mind atm!

The italian camo being priced higher than the reverse grinch on release is crazy to me.

Remember after the car reveal everyone said the car was "basic" while gushing over the Mercedes hahahaha

Good video and pleased Ferrari and McLaren are the next best. Sure RB are well ahead but, as the closest team on their heels, they get the advantage when RB have a bad day. McL maybe able to improve this year to threaten second place, but not Merc and AM (despite the hype and BS from TW).

As a ferrari fan, it’s great to see all those being quiet and actually respecting the scarlet red this season.

you ve saying that all year long but i don't see them catching if it is for drs power or engine boost...

Wow Edd, did you work this out all by yourself?

P.S.: Not know if The Race was one of them, but Alonso re-signed at Aston for 2 years. So no Red Bull or quit.

Now I wanna see the video highlighting mclaren and their title droughts

Meanwhile, Verstapen keeps winning by a 15+ second difference per race.

That side pode adjustment has to be at least 60% why the tyres are lasting longer

I want to see the DHL Slowest Pitstops...wonder who that would be?😊

Ferrari have had multiple championship winning capable cars, many times with the fastest overall pace. Actually their biggest problems were their strategy and management calls - not the car.

You can really make the case for the only bad take of Vasseur is signing Ham for Sai

Its like 2022 again . Not going under another hype especially from the red camp unless they beat rb on merit !

2 years ago I was Ferraris biggest critic and thought they were laughable but I have to say Freddy has done the best job he could have possibly done. I wasn't aware of how great a team principal he is. Why was he wasting his time at Stake or whatever it's called?

Lots of hopium. The facts are that Verstappen has 4 poles and 3 wins in 4 races. Including the last race.

Why are we getting rid of our best performing driver, question?

you are the yapper king fr

'Best place non-redbull'. 😢 I hope everyone figures out their car so we can have exciting races again.

God this channel is good. Always delivers illuminating, precise, insights

"it's been a while since Ferrari did something really baffling" What, You mean like, signing a has-been in favour of a top driver with at least 10 years left on his clock who also seems to get on well with their golden boy Leclerc wasn't baffling?

Yes, Ferrari is in second place. Much like a one-legged man is in second place in a 2-man ass kicking contest.

I think if this consistency goes on for the few years then Ferrari can be champion again but as Ferrari is always an inconsistent team so it can be a moment for one year and they fail again. So, they need to be consistent in their performance.

When weren’t they in this era of car?

The biggest unknown right now is still McLaren, For all the good work of Ferrari, They're still the ones showing flashes of pace (especially over 1 lap) ahead of them at certain tracks, much like Ferrari have shown flashes ahead of Red Bull in Australia. it's all close for best of the rest, but If McLarens updates deliver even half of last seasons steps (from a low baseline, admittedly), then they'll probably still be Red Bulls biggest outright threat at certain tracks by a decent margin. Until Ferrari show they can at least keep up in a development race, they probably won't have Red Bull too worried outside of the odd race here and there when they don't quite dial the car in.

LH winning the drivers championship in Red next year would be some TEA!! 😆

Delulu is high, Max is 20s ahead and cruising, he set fastest lap close to end of the race. Theres plenty more Max can push.

you love to hear it😌

We've seen it before in 2022. Are we going to see a repeat of it again?

Nobody is a thereat to Red Bull until they can prove over several races they are capable of beating Verstappen in a straight up race...no DNFs. no Max's car getting damaged, etc. Max has taken large grid penalties and wins races.

I just want to know if the rumors of Newey following Hamilton to Ferrari are even possible.

I am still surprised that people believe in Mercedes. It was just the engine. And now that they need more they are back to pre split turbo days. Facts stay facts. Don't forget, they reactivated Micheal Schuhmacher to get their team going. They had back then no clue why are they not nr1. And today they have no clue too.

They praise us now and then punch us in the face. We're used to it

Just add a pissed off Lewis and this could get really interesting... :D

So, they actually introduced a new car design that fixed or at least improves from last year's faults ? Merc take note

Crazy how so quickly we forgot Ferrari had the best car at Australia

8th in making..thanks to Fred..

"The results prove it, Ferrari is on the up", while actively comparing to a year that Ferrari started OK and then tanked terribly, "the trajectory is clear" as it was every other time in this drought they found a short window of form.... Way to early to really say if they have got to grips with the regulations and have a development path that will actually go somewhere. I hope so, as it is pretty terrible for the sport to not even have a doubt on who wins every single race baring a DNF - at least in Hamilton's domination years the teammate was close enough to push him, and before that with refuelling the tactical game generally mattered so much more the best car isn't just an I win button... But as Ferrari's progress through a season doesn't tend to be as good as the other top teams way to early to say 'great they are nailing this, they will be there'. And comprehensively leading the charge of the pack is probably optimistic too. Don't get me wrong they have a decent car that seems a little more universally capable that the others near the front and have made what turn out to be better strategy calls, but the chasing pack is on the whole still rather more stuck to each other than any are to the RB's rear wing - so only the smallest changes to race tactics, tyre allocations etc...

its not a threat .... we have no idea of true pace of Max in that RB. For Checo coming so close to him - car is likely bigger window than RB19 .. plus upgrades coming.

i do think Red Bull can be caught because there are limits to what you can do with these regulations. I don’t think Red Bull will remain unbeaten forever in this rule set especially with new engines coming in 26

Fair play to Ferrari for actually showing some progress

I guess Mattia Binotto did a great job setting the stage for someone else to push Ferarri further.

I think we will see Ferrari win the championship in 2025 or 2026.

What I don’t think will be good is when 2026 engines get here can they really make a 50/50 motor

They are averaging 21.54 seconds behind max in the races he finished. That’s .404 seconds per lap behind. They need to pick up almost a half second to match RB, good luck passing max with a car equal to his. I know it’s more fun to pretend it’s close, but it’s not. And RB has a higher ceiling because they already maxed out the “standard” configuration under these regs last year, and have moved on to a new concept this year.

They do be cooking

Alonso just signed with AM again. Any insights?

I wont be soo pessimistic about this year, yes very unlikely to win drivers championship, but we can probably figthing for contrunctors and almost certain we will se some win in red by the end of the season, not just 1 or 2.

I mean Ferrari has been redbull's biggest threat for almost 2 full years (we had aston martin at the beginning of last season but that only lasted a few race weekends before Ferrari overtook them again) I'm not saying they have at any point been an ACTUAL threat to win the title to RB apart from the beginning of the 2022 season, but NO ONE has been a real threat to RB since Merc's last fight for championship in 2021, its now the 2024 season and Ferrari has consistently been the biggest threat to RB for years so idk how you're gonna title the video ferrari is NOW RB's biggest threat, they've always been RB's biggest threat for the entirety of this RB era of dominance...and I say all this as a McLaren fan, but the facts are the facts

What just find so incredibly pleasing, is that Ferrari had to cough up $446 million dollars for Lewis Hamilton, and they get rid of Sainz that earned a fraction of that number. I just hope Sainz ends up in the right seat next year and beats Ferrari in every single race. I can't help myself, i just want to see that happening 😂

The only thing I think they're doing wrong is replacing Sainz with Hamilton. I think it is a bad decision, especially as Lewis hasn't been the same for a few years.

What a silly question...the answer is because they are the second fastest team! 😁🏎

Forza Ferrari 🔥🔥 El Matador ❤❤❤

I don’t see a world where dropping Sainz is a plus for Ferrari. Hamilton can drive, but Sainz has been putting on a hell of a show. At best they break even but I doubt Hamilton is going to suddenly be fighting for wins every race again just because he’s in a Ferrari now. But hey, maybe he’ll surprise me, I sure hope so.

Don’t give us hope.

You have to looks at Ferrari as a point of car manufacturers point. They being 2nd means they are the first in car manufacturers. Red bull is not a car manufacturer.

This is just another way of saying, Next year is ours. 😂

Its all relative. Looking good all weekend and still finishing 20s behind number one…. Congrats you’re the biggest threat.

The only threat should be the teams take back control of the sport or leave. Reduce reuse recycle - Net Zero, will have this sport so constricted in all the areas of spectacle people watch it for. I watched WEC the other week...so much better than F1. V8's V6's all sorts of engines and combinations, packed grid. Sounded amazing, looked amazing, 0 woketardery and left wing DEI bullsh*t.

Lewis' move looks smarter and smarter every day. Merc really haven't got these ground effect cars right and every year he doesn't win that 8th WDC makes it less likely he will. Still, I will laugh if he moves to Ferarri next year and suddenly George is winning every race in a Merc that's 2 seconds faster than last year...
