"Singapore, he was fully wheel to wheel, fully on the inside, had won the lead in Turn 1 in Singapore and backed off. If you look at the team-mates, it's the same with Sebastian, it's the same with Carlos". That's so crazy to hear from a #Ferrari driver. #BrazilGP

Basically they both put their result above the #Ferrari’s one. Hamilton isn’t a saint: in Singapore he did a wrong call to gain Leclerc’s place, still keeping the same team result (2-3). They both are in the wrong right now, Lewis even more with his “politic interviews” #MexicoGP

The problem is of both drivers. Here both went over the limit, at Singapore it has been Lewis who throw away a podium, in Monza it has been Charles that pushed his team mate off track. If next year #Ferrari will be competitive from the start it’ll be hard #MexicoGP

I think this onboard is quite clear. If we want to be fully malicious they both hadn’t the intention of doing the corner #MexicoGP

Leclerc would have done the corner? We don’t know, because Lewis accompanied him wide. The key here is that Lewis did not made the corner: there is no evidence that Leclerc wasn’t going to do the corner #MexicoGP

I fear #Ferrari found the limit now in FP3. When the rear tyres are stressed both on longitudinal and lateral side - the most in S2 - they are quite off with the soft, quite the opposite on what we saw on the medium. Still good times in the slow, maybe not enough #MexicoGP

#Ferrari with their usual 2026 approach - a very aggressive deployment in the low end torque curve. The turbo design philosophy helps that approach here. The rears are put on so much stress, even more with the low grip due to the altitude. Quali will be a big, big test #MexicoGP

We can conclude that #Ferrari was able to use the maximum of SF26 performance in COTA. The upgrades worked, maybe that car now is easier to bring to the limit - they’re forced to work in this way due to the engine limitations - but still they opted for an all in approach, going-

against their power deficit. also the track had a really poor asphalt in terms of bumps, so maybe that all in was necessary. The absent usual setup compromise on stiffness helped rear tyre deg: Mexico will be another test on that. The #Ferrari problem of quali is still there-

but as Leclerc said it is not structural. It was influenced by setup choices for the race, but #Ferrari is far more sensible on temp variations of tires, which have already a tiny work window - and from this year higher pressures, which complicate everything

This race could be one of the biggest what if of the season for Charles. Really mega pace, a shame for the two stop. The updates have been great, #Ferrari seems to have a better rear stability on deg side #USGP

Here we take four laps of LEC and VER's stints, both on soft - two early and late laps for each. Is visible how #Ferrari struggles in the slow of T3 (red arrow) compared to the first two laps (white arrow). VER is more consistent there. Both influenced by traffic #USGP

Interesting to note is also the gear usage in quali and race sim. In his high-fuel laps LEC used a lower gear in T11 and T15 - connected with #Ferrari's higher battery recharge struggles - while in his low-fuel sim he uses a lower gear in the first sector's snake than VER #USGP

Biggest VER's gains are above 250 kph. LEC is faster in high-medium. In the low it seems #Ferrari with LEC is trying a late-turn in style, probably to help with corner exit and reduce the power deficit. For race laps they opted for a more focus deploy on the back straight #USGP

So basically if a driver join BMW he become immediately over-aggressive? Or simply a fucking idiot. Great job Pepper, another race destroyed for the factory Ferrari cars #GTWorld
