All those components breaking down will indeed certainly result in some grid penalties later this year which migth come at a time they certainly can't use that. (who knows what's going to happen in the race between Ferrari and MERC...)
Ferrari's mechanical problems are probably way worse than RB's dnf's at the beginning this year. Those were all related to small components breaking down, and not components related to the amount of engine power.

But it's never nice to see drivers that do their best and give excellent racing results still get a DNF due to mechanical problems.
And of course winning a race is winning a race, but it's better to win a race due to battle on the track than a mechanical dnf.

Yes . Later more regarding Charlie's PU ..Ferrari has no choise , they have to push the PU beyond the limits because the Red Bull's are extremely fast in the race .
So yeah ,probably they pushed Charlie's PU over the top ..

I really like to see MAX patiently , relaxed and smart in the race .
Think MAX's new HONDA PU with these fresh ponies works very well ...

This season is very long . But think Ferrari lost it completely today !


Meanwhile Kmag is slowing down with another Ferrari PU !!!

[GuidoK]

3rd ferrari PU out of the race? (LEC/Zhou/KMAG)

[Fliplegend]

Uh oh Ferrari power failure pattern

[GuidoK]

VSC and Max can come in immediately

And Checo again doesn't have a great stop 4.4 sec

[E92inNC]

Another Ferrari engine gone, just Bottas and Mick to go. Come on Ferrari, let’s aim for perfection here

Secure the new HONDA PU for the races to come ...

[GuidoK]

I wonder if AlphaTauri's gamble will pay off.
Both TSU and GAS didn't come in for fresh tyres during that VSC

[GuidoK]

So the RB's are 2,5sec faster than RUS (both their fastest laps)


TSU has a broken wing....dangerous situation...

Too bad for Ferrari . Don't want to see them DNF like that ..

I just want to see the close fights from Red Bull vs Ferrari ( MAX vs Charlie )

It must been said : Checo improved a lot ...
But in the race It's MAX , the 1 who speaks on the track !
#RaceCraft !

[GuidoK]

So after having to slow down (I presume for both Max and Checo) now also no DRS useage.
Probably a common shared part between the RB's and the AlphaTauri's.

[///M Power-Belgium]

THE 1 IS MAX !!!

[Killed by Death]

These Italian MTHRFKRs are killing me

[Blindside_137]

Redbull gets their 1-2 that pirelli robbed them of last year

[GuidoK]

Hammy looks like an old man getting out.
Someone get him his walking cane....

The complaining about the suspension is mainly coming from the merc drivers.
No other teams seem to have those problems.....
Merc seems to have the car that is the best of the rest (after RB/ferrari)....but at what cost?

Same here, you never want to see mechanical failures. I’m a Ferrari fan and root for them to win but I was hoping for a three team fight at the top this year. They haven’t won either titles since I started watching F1 in 2009 and have teased us in several years with WDC hopes in 2010, 2012 and a few half seasons with Vettel. I guess this is just another disappointing year to add to that list.

I think there’s very little chance they will come back at RB this year with either titles, I just hope they can fix their woes and hit the ground running next year, they have a competitive car but need to be reliable and not make dumb strategic moves in the race. I even hope Merc rejoins the fight at some point and make it more exciting

HAM is looking very bad . He really struggled to get out the Merc . Looks like his back is completely broken ...

Lol just saw the replay of him getting out, that car is destroying his lower back. You can definitely tell he’s not in his 20s anymore
