After Summer break it has been quite eventful for Ferrari:
🇳🇱Zandvort: Charles had an ear infection, Charles crash in Quali/ then DNF on the race
🇮🇹Monza: Carlos Pole/ P3, Charles P4, Charlos almost double DNFing at the last laps. Ferrari overtook Aston Martin in constructors championship.
🇸🇬Singapore: Carlos pole/win, could’ve been double podium but bad pitstop and safety car timing for Charles
🇯🇵Japan: probably the only uneventful race. Mercedes tried to do the Singapore trick on Carlos and failed.
🇶🇦Qatar: Charles lost sprint points due to track limits, track limits, wind and turn 5 terrorised the boys, Carlos DNS due to fuel system issue
🇺🇸Austin: Charles pole, P3 in sprint, pole to P6 to DSQ, Carlos P3 announced after the whole thing was over. One pit stop strategy for both the drivers in a usual two stops race.
🇲🇽Mexico: Carlos missed media day because he wasn’t feeling well, both of them said they were having different issues with the car at the start of FP1. a surprising front row lock out, Charles P3 and Carlos P4, Charles had contact with Checo and had front wing damage most laps until the red flag and then hard tyres on restart made him lose P2. And Charles got booed.
🇧🇷Brazil: Charles starting P2 on the grid DNS due to hydraulic failure, Carlos had clutch issues.
🇺🇸Las Vegas: Before the race even began Carlos won the Netflix Cup and then broke the trophy. Then Charles won the virtual las vegas race the next day. Carlos got hit by a manhole that caused massive damages to his car (there was hole in the cockpit and you could see the track from it) in FP1, then got a 10 place grid penalty because he had to change the battery when it wasn’t even his fault, both were fast in FP2, went on to get front row but there’s a ten place grid penalty for Carlos. Charles lost the lead to Max at the start but took it back and held on to it for some time and then when it looked like it would be P3 he overtook Checo at the last fucking lap and got P2. Carlos went from P12 to P18 after a spin to finishing P6 in front of both the Mercedes (who were against him getting his penalty waived) after George got penalty.
🇦🇪Abu Dhabi: Carlos in the barrier in FP2 due to a bump on the track. Carlos out in Q1 (his first one since Brazil 2019). Charles’s fifth front row appearance in a row. Charles P2. Carlos got fucked by Ferrari being Ferrari and putting him on hard- hard strategy, and then waiting for safety car so they can change tyre in order not to get DSQ. P3 in constructor’s championship.
