Why Ferrari's 2024 F1 season has been so weird

[@jivewig]

Ferrari has wasted this whole regulation cycle. But onwards and upwards and waiting to see what Vasseur cooks for 2026.

[@Rainaman-]

Binotto got them back to the top and Vasseur got them back down.

[@soundscape26]

@@Rainaman- Back to the top?

[@opposedscroll7596]

​@@Rainaman- under Binotto's reign, they had a fast, but flawed car concept that was already unupgradeable by early 2023. They hit a dead end in less than one and a half seasons. Under Vasseur, they now have a concept that is fast now and has a future, unlike the old one.

[@seanonraet8327]

That's been the case for Ferrari since 2008...

[@Kavster92]

Vasseurs massive improvement to morale at Ferrari, making it resistant to sudden shocks from surprise drop outs and mistakes, is clearly evident. With Binotto, if something bad happened it took them 3 races to mentally recover in terms of pace. They were not a real 'team' as in the human resource. Now they seam more resilient even to their own fuckups. That is the secret ingredient to real success.

[@ragemydream]

The truth is that Ferrari start strong but always fall off the development race by mid season. Same each year in the current generation.

[@dylanburston7453]

Theyve got much, much stronger in the 2nd half of 2023, where Charles outscored both Mercedes drivers combined. And thyeve improved alot this year as well (with a little wobble) They fell off a cliff in 2022 under binotto, as they only upgraded that car majorly once

[@LordViktorHun88]

Last and this year it is quite the opposite. Yes, they were 2nd fastest at the start of the season and maybe 3rd fastest on average now, but the gap to the front has been reduced significantly. Also they bounced back quite well after the crappy form between Canada and Hungary.

[@fintonmainz7845]

They won in Monza. What's your point?

[@HyperAva88]

under fred it has been better. last year the second half was very good. this year the bouncing was bad but they solved it with monza

[@fintonmainz7845]

@@HyperAva88 I don't think any team solved bouncing. I believe the "ground effect" rules have failed everyone

[@Daxboy16]

So in SIngapore Ferrari did a fake release, which caused the tire temps to be too low, which caused Leclerc to violate track limits, which caused the destruction of his entire weekend? Geez, what a giant self-own.

[@paperplane-db8qf]

Or more like Leclerc just made a mistake but everyone finding excuses and blaming Ferrari for a driver error

[@yuh-fv7ds]

Ferrari consistently lacks that final level of peak execution to win in a close championship fight, whether it be strategy, pressure, preparation, car development, driver performance, etc. I don’t think they’ll win a championship until they have a dominant car that enables them to walk away with the title.

[@KuK137]

They are only "challenging" because Merc has no more rocketships 2 seconds per lap faster than anyone else, and their strategies are no longer as garbage as they have been back then. Really, the fact Vettel got so close so many times just shows he was by far the best driver, certainly far better than garbage, overrated 44 (aka 'zero legit wins since rocketship era'). The difference between Merc and Ferrari back then was about as big as McLaren and Aston right now, and I don't see Alonso being constantly on podium with multiple wins...

[@EchoMirage72]

The only reason Ferrari even had a shot at getting a Constructors Championship when Vettel was there was because of the fuel sensor being in the wrong place. Once it was eliminated Ferrari didn't go anywhere.

[@siteshnarayangautam2780]

I don't think Fred Vassur had any plans on going for the championship anyhow. I mean there is a chance that he was playing a long game from the get go, giving up the idea of going for the Title and "This year is ours" and he simply went for Moral Boost. The fact that Ferrai bagged 2 of the most important wins with Leclerc's win at Monaco overlifting the so called Monaco Curse plus winning at Monza and bringing all the Tifosi together and Carlos's bonus win is victory enough for the year. And thus I guess to him he won. Now they will probably try to top this level off next year and see where things go in 2026. There in 26, with lifted confidence in their team as a whole, their engines, drivers, strategies etc. they can pose a serious contention then, as seems to be their plan.

[@LordViktorHun88]

Also Baku could have been won easily by Leclerc. He was a bit careless and even Piastri admitted that divebomb was a now or never move, given Ferrari's better tyre management in clean air on the long run. (Not to mention the cheeky rear wing that helped Oscar defend the lead.) But yeah, it is clear that Ferrari just wants to stay competitive and close to the front, as rules remain pretty much the same next year, no point to wait with upgrades (except if they have innovation that other teams can copy).

[@SwedishMisha]

One good thing is that Fred Vasseur seems to get Ferrari out of being a clown team with poor strategies and race actions. Are the clowns now working as Ronald McDonald? No, I forgot at least one of them works for Audi.....

​​@@Willbrsethere is a difference between poor strategies occasionally and poor strategies consistently across the season. binotto made errors not only in strategies consistently but also completely botched his management of driver, never admits fault and pushes the blame to the driver. vasseur is definitely an upgrade and you are blind if you think otherwise. there are definitely still room for improvement but to say that he is the same as binotto is an absolutely farce statement.
