Aren't they always at a disadvantage so long as refueling isn't allowed? Hell even if they allow refueling there's probably still a disadvantage because of pit time.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SCUDERIA FERRARI TIFOSI



The new Ferrari management immediately contacted Kimi Räikkönen & Vettel - a strong message of confidence Today at 11:22

Ferrari's power shift is in full swing. Ferrari was forced to replace the new manager with Sergio Marchionne last weekend. Marchionne's assignments are now shared between Managing Director Louis Camilleri and John Elkann. Elkann is part of the Agnell family's managing the Fiat Group.

Team Manager Maurizio Arrivabene and technical director Mattia Binotto had been able to wipe Hockenheim's dust off her feet already when John Elkann-Louis Camilleri arrived at Maranello.

Sure, the two have known Ferrari practices for years now, but nevertheless, Elkann's owner- introduced Camilleri to the production lines of the factory. At the same time, he assured the journalist of La Gazzetta dello Sport that Camilleri was not just the CEO of the transitional period.

Elkann also confirmed that he had already called Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Räikkönen. He conveyed absolute confidence and 100% support to both drivers. At the same time, however, he recalled that winning the championship is Ferrari's only goal.

The second is just the first loser, Elkann reiterated Enzo Ferrari's aforism.



For Marchionne, it must be calculated that, in his era, Ferrari raised F1 engine power alongside Mercedes - and now it is over. Now Elkann and Camiller are responsible for getting that benefit in GP results as well.

On the sidelines, Marchionne visions Ferrari with both the road masseur and the electric supercar. Both development work continues uninterruptedly

https://www.iltalehti.fi/formulat/201807242201092629_fo.shtml



Debriefing in Maranello yesterday - here the summary:

Yesterday, Elkann (new chairman of Ferrari) and Camilleri (CEO of Ferrari) had their first official day in Maranello.

Elkann met Maurizio Arrivabene and Mattia Binotto, and made contact with the various departments of the Ferrari Gestione Sportiva, accompanied by Piero Ferrari.

Elkann: "I'm sure all of you, just like those who anticipated me in the role of Ferrari president, are not interested in getting second in the F1 championship. The factories are made by machines, but above all by men. It is the people who make Ferrari special. This company has the potential to move forward, to face new challenges and to achieve other victories. Let's go forward in the sign of continuity"

In Maranello they didn‘t like Sebastian Vettel‘s mistake in Hockenheim but they already have forgiven him. Elkann and Camilleri have spoken in a conference call with Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen. In particular, both Elkann and Camilleri insisted that they continue "to fight for every single point" and renewed their trust to their 4-time F1 champion Vettel.

Both Elkann and Camilleri want to show that they are going into the same direction of Marchionne: Camilleri decided to settle in the office that had been Luca di Montezemolo, leaving what was Sergio's free.

Sergio Marchionne’s health has been a cause of concern in the F1 fraternity, ever since the news broke out a few days back of Marchionne stepping down as Ferrari boss due to health issues.

Official reports suggested that Marchionne had stepped down because of a shoulder operation.

However, recent developments suggest that the shoulder operation wasn’t the normal one that one would expect.

A disease emanating from the prostate had spread in a devastating manner and thus the operation had to be carried out quickly, reported Affaritaliani.it.

“Instead of a simple shoulder operation, it was more complex and required complex clinical procedure. An invasive disease emanating from the prostate had already spread in a devastating manner, but only discovered a short time ago.”

Exactly. Sure there's no maximum length specified for the car, but given how far back in the chassis the drivers sit now, any hypothetical car with a V12 would likely be pushing 20 feet in length and would almost certainly be in breach of several other sizing rules.

To start, we can keep the existing powertrains if they make the engine manufacturers happy, but I can't be the only one who thinks the sport would be better off ditching the turbos and going back to high-revving, naturally aspirated engines—let's say 2.5L in capacity, either V10s or V12s.

This will prove disastrous when Honda accidentally installs one bank of cylinders upside down, and it turns out their engine would fit perfectly into the McLaren chassis, which is oddly shaped because their wind tunnel tests have come down to blowing glitter at the car and taking pictures with an old Polaroid.
