Why Ferrari so bad?

Ricardo Paoletti 24 May 2005 06:25:59
 Conspiracy theory: FIA and Ferrari had it all worked out ($) to have the red
cars at rear of the pack, or else the whole series would explode.

Maybe not. But how is it that such a dominant team all of a sudden messes up
so badly as to be consistently on the 5th or 6th row? How come everyone
else, from Toyota up to McLaren, found a way with the new rules and Ferrari
can't get ir right? Did they sleep during all of the off-season?

Or is it really the tires+transmission+­aero+declinining Schumer?

It's the tires.

Cars are a package. As soon as something is changed in the rules, the
package can be broken. In this case, with the tyre having to last the
whole race Bridgestone failed to come up with an answer and Ferrari's
own attempts to compensate for the lack of grip are not working.
Perhaps the 2 race engine rule also whacked them on the head with
regards to power.

If you want to talk about controversy, then rather ask how come that
Schumi generally rockets into the top lap times straight after his
first refueling.
Funny Shell additive, or is it just that, that is their window where
they can up the engine to full revs, or perhaps is that when those
hard Bridgies become drivable..
I vote No2 and 3, but No1 crossed my mind for, oh, 10 seconds..

Doesn't explain the similarly declining Rubens.

I bet Ferrari change the tire rules or they will be using Michelins next
year too..

People seem to forget how incredibly difficult it is to get to the top of
any sport, much less stay there for any length of time. The amazing thing
is not that Ferrari seems to have fallen (or been pushed) off the top
rung, but that they managed stay there so long.

While the Bridgestones gave them a massive performance advantage they
blitzed the field..now the contrary applies.

I think it was perhaps a tad of arrogance and as a result complatency
(sp?) In hindsight I dont think using a modification of last years car
for the first few races was a very bright idea, they seem to have been on
the backfoot since then. I also think the Bridgestone have some severe
consistancy issues, perhaps being the only top team to recevie a specific
tyre manufacturer is not a good plan either. Michellin were able to put
on so much more miles on their tyres than BS could.
Also Renault have been on the way to the front of the grid for the last
couple of years. I think its the result of a number of factors from both
Ferraris side and the other teams contributing to their lack of
performance this year. I think its gonna be a McLaren and Renault fight
for the next few years.

This sounds quite plausible, considering the amount of 3-stop pitstops
(and even one 4 stopper) Ferrari did last year.

Indeed. That is a key part of the evidence I was relying on.

How does this theory explain how MS set fastest lap at Monaco, yet
finished with fairly fresh looking tires? It appears that Bridgestone is
indeed fumbling a bit trying to find the right formulation, but I don't
think the situation is as dire as you describe.

Because the package only appears capable of being fast for a relatively
short period in the race.

Remember girls, it's all about the package.
