Considering how much their drivers (George in particular) are beating this drum, I have a feeling that they also don't necessarily want a change to their car, because it means that they also wouldn't be able to get results. I wouldn't be surprised if Lewis and George had already been asked about this and they both said no to raising the ride height.The FIA should strongly suggest to Toto to stop injuring his drivers for mediocre results, and to stop getting the FIA to change the regulations so that the consequences of their poor design choices get eliminated.
To think, that there were a lot of people who were proclaiming after a couple races that the championship was a foregone conclusion because RB were the ones breaking down...Honestly I don't see how Ferrari takes the fight to RB this year. Between their car that is incredibly unreliable and their god awful strategy every week, RB has a pretty clear view of the championship.
Wonder if that means Ferrari will be turning down the car for the next couple races to help Charles actually get some sort of points.BinottoThe performance increase was enormous and we are paying for it in terms of reliability. It was a concern when we didn't get excited at the beginning of the year. We will analyze but we do not have the time to correct or make structural changes towards Canada, we have to manage, we will clearly have to put new components ...
Quite a few it seems. 2010, 2012, 2017, 2018. Especially 17 and 18, they and Vettel made way too many errors in the second half of each of those seasons.How many world championships has Ferrari fumbled away in the last decade?
Wonder if it was in an email with pictures.Toto was strongly suggesting the FIA fix the proposing/injury issue by a safety ruling, something like a higher minimum ride height for all teams.
Is it really fair when Max retired from P2, while Charles fell out of the running from a comfortable and commanding lead on both occasions?Now that the ‘bad’ results are equaled between Ferrari and RedBull, the current standing is a fair one, based on results.
Not every retirement is equal.Max had has two engine failures.
Charles has had two engines failures.
I'd call that even.
Max's engine suffered a fuel issue, that is not the same as the Mr Piston going "Will you marry me Mrs Valve"Max had has two engine failures.

The net result is the same: not finishing the race.Max's engine suffered a fuel issue, that is not the same as the Mr Piston going "Will you marry me Mrs Valve"
But what matters is engine allocations.The net result is the same: not finishing the race.
And in case anyone thinks it's only Mercedes complaining about it after this weekend...Ah yes, more of the, "37 year old driver jack hammering for 51 laps must be acting" rhetoric. Because nobody else today or since the season has started has said how the porpoising hurts.
And in case anyone thinks it's only Mercedes complaining about it after this weekend...
Now, don't get me wrong, I do think that Mercedes should just bite the bullet (by outside forces or otherwise), and just raise the ride height at the cost of performance, primarily because it is a genuine hazard to the health of the drivers. To that end, you (not specifically you @McLaren) have to be a rather dense individual if you see Lewis (or any other driver for that matter) grimacing in pain when they get out of their cars and think it's nothing but an act. Lewis saying his seat was going cold is not a good sign, because it could potentially be a sign of numbness.
