With Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc eager to tension he does not be expecting the crew will gain “a lot” in 2024, RH is not either…
What is ‘a lot’? Ferrari, given that 2014, recorded at most 6 wins throughout an overall year even though obtaining autos that appeared much more aggressive than the present just one. Increase to that weak race functions and other areas necessary to gain a race, as extensive as Pink Bull is near to them they are not profitable a great deal. I would be shocked if they each experienced equally paced autos if Ferrari managed to gain much more than 5 races. Even even worse for them could be that Mercedes is forward in accordance to James Allison on race trim.
Yeah, I’m not anticipating just about anything from them. If they control to gain quite a few races it’ll be almost nothing small of impressive. RH
