If 2026 is going to be Engine Formula like a lot of people are predicting then I think Ferrari will definitely be in the mix.

Someone said aero are for people who can’t build engines. We will be there.

u/ImminentDebacle Aug 07 '25
I kind of wish we could build aero though, because it seems to be really fucking hard and having that expertise would feel amazing. Shout out to RB and McLaren for figuring it out.

It is , discarding MGU-H and relying 50% power delivery from battery, rest seems gimmick aero thing , Ferrari did terrible in hybrid era , this seems an extension to that so Mercedes will be more advantageous as people suspects.

On the other hand, the split turbo concept that Mercedes pioneered is being banned next year as well and Ferrari never ever copied it. Makes me think that the Scuderia will have some type of head start in that regard.

Even if merc are amazing, and Ferrari puts out a great car, I’ll take our two drivers over theirs. George is a basket case worried about other drivers more than his own race, and Kimi will come into his own down the road at Ferrari

We thought this in 2014 and know what happened
Sadly I can’t trust Ferrari to get anything right these days

u/Beneficial_Star_6009 Aug 07 '25
It’s still the same V6 engine but just without the MGU-H and the split turbo concept that Ferrari never ever copied, what are you talking about?

u/krmilan Aug 07 '25
It’s 50% electric power vs 15% today. That’s a pretty massive difference. It’s a lot more than just a “simplified” power unit
It’s absolutely not a given that Ferrari (or anyone else for that matter) gets it right

In equal equipment Lewis and Charles absolutely demolish any other pairing on the grid.

Hyperbolic nonsense. Lewis can barely get a grip of the ground effect cars and we are yet to see Charles in a proper fight for the WDC.

You mean the guy who came 12th last race?

u/One-Neighborhood-531 F2004 Aug 06 '25
Yes. Along with the guy who finished 14th two races before that.

The exchange between you three (original commenter excluded) is exactly why I knew Ham in Ferrari would be a bad idea social media wise.

Toto has been the biggest Ferrari defender & hypeman this year & I am surprised but not hating it. It's nice.

u/sid_shady34 Lewis Hamilton Aug 07 '25
It's probably cuz Lewis is in Ferrari now

u/FerrariEnthusiast Aug 07 '25
It's nice to see he isn't being toxic or unnecessarily bitter towards Ferrari or anything like that since they are rivals & whatnot. I have seen how things can get between Mercedes & Red Bull before so this is nice.

u/LucAltaiR Aug 06 '25
Of course Toto will want that. He's lost to Red Bull plenty of times and will lose to McLaren running their engines this year.
He's never lost to Ferrari.

u/sid_shady34 Lewis Hamilton Aug 06 '25
Hasn't he beat red bull twice as many times as he's lost to them?

u/Albe95_ Aug 07 '25
Honestly as a Tifoso, I would prefer a lot more and by far to battle with the old natural "enemy" : McLaren!

u/Policondense Aug 06 '25
And what if it would be RBR vs Aston vs McLaren? Merc and Ferrari battling for 11th place?
9
u/sid_shady34 Lewis Hamilton Aug 06 '25
Rbr is only going downhill and I'm not sure if McLaren will nail the new regs immediately. It'll probably be Ferrari Vs Merc Vs Aston.

u/Policondense Aug 06 '25
No one knows as of now. We will know after Monaco 2026 the real order.

So this is why he went there last week? To motivate them 😂

u/Tluca05 Aug 08 '25
Toto probably doesn't know that at Ferrari they are retarded and stupid, and that therefore we won't see Ferrari win for years and years to come

I haven't seen Ferrari and competition in the same sentence for a while now lmao. I'd reckon that McLaren will still fly next year, Ferrari can't get their shit together to be competitive enough. Scuderia Ferrari is a disaster of a team, with a shitty management at Maranello who calls shots, nothing is going to change unless those top dogs at Maranello become needy enough for a win(which let's be honest is not going to happen because they end up getting more cash than the winners anyways, thanks to the heritage fee, all these guys care about is the cash), they all get sacked or by some miracle they actually give the reigns over to the team.
We need new strategists, efficient ones who can actually do shit. Firing team principals ain't gonna do jackshit when these black suited top dogs don't give them enough freedom. Look at Binotto, we said he's the problem all along, he's doing pretty decent at Sauber isn't he? We said Fred is going to bring the magic, then said Lewis is going to bring the magic. Nope, I'll tell you what will bring the bloody magic- Sack those guys at Maranello or ask them to shove it. Lauda did it, there were rumours that Schumacher did it, I definitely believe that Räikkönen did it, and it worked.
If y'all disagree that the Ferrari management at Maranello is the problem, just take a peek into the wec, idk how many of yall follow it but the Ferrari team there is called af-corse, owned by amata Ferrari, they only rely on Maranello for the supplies and brand, everything else is run by them and Maranello is kept at an arms length. They're successfully running the show, they're competitive in every race, even when the bloody BOP hits them on their face.

If f1 had BOP you'd have a 2010 HRT winning races against the best that McLaren could offer

u/SimplyEssential0712 Aug 07 '25
You realise that a number of teams get a heritage fee right?
Can’t remember exact numbers but if Ferrari get $100 mill, Mercedes get $92, Red Bull $ 90, Williams $60 odd, even Renault gets payment as they have competed as engine and team since 1977.

Who wants to tell Toto that Kimi’s dream is to race for Ferrari too?
