    It is mislabeled--the flux capacitor is able to deal with 1 point 21 GigaWatts not 121 GigaWatts !

    Ferrari lack of everything. From management, leadership, to power. In fact I don't understand why they even bother to show up the rest of the races this year.

    I now remember the stories told by binotto during the winter tests. How the car had too much resistance to the air. It was a shameless lie to cover up the fact that the engine had lost more than 50 horses.

    1.21 GW?

    Well, that would exceed FIA's limits for quite a bit. Although I suppose nothing that can't be solved with a bit of "interpretation of the rules".

    To me, the fact that both Ferraris finished behind a Ferrari-powered Alfa Romeo tells me that the chassis is more at fault than the power unit.

    I´ve read that Ferrari customer cars are using a slightly different engine, with another head design; they´ve made it without spending tokens, as it was (supposedly) a reliability issue. But everybody knows that engines always get more power with this changes.

    Anyway they must have screwed the setup this weekend. The car is bad, but not this bad. It´s been a lot better than the Alfa Romeo and the Haas all season, and this is not what we saw today.

    The car isn't great, but most likely it was designed in mind with an engine with 5-8% more power to overcome that extra drag. Now they are double screwed.

    Ferrari should just buy Racing Point, paint the car red and change the name on the valve covers, and we'll be back at the front.
