Many will be surprised with the engine.
Some in a good way and some in a bad...

The reliability upgrades are merely restoring performance to pre-Baku 2022 levels according to FV:

First indication of changes Vasseur could make at the team:

He is kinda of saying what Binotto was saying in the beginning of the season.. didn’t he change the tune once he saw that there will be no chance to win?

First of all: Vasseur speaks of mistakes, while Binotto didn't see any That, in itself, is quite a step forward!

Secondly, as was posted above, Vasseur is saying what many of us have said last year: there is no need to fire people left and right without first analyzing exactly WHY mistakes happen.

Nah. Said straight away the aim is simply on improving on 2021, which I guess in theory they achieved, but did on multiple occasions say the team isn’t ready to compete for the title.

Maybe I'm mistaken but I think he sounded more optimistic at the start of the season and then there was something about winning all remaining races mid season.. but that doesn't matter, as long as they start winning, or at least loose on merit and not because of silly mistakes, I'll be happy.

According to reports, the new Ferrari chassis is 2/3 kg lighter than that of the F1-75 . Weight loss which is equivalent to 1 tenth. It's an interesting note considering that the frontal, lateral and vertical impact tests were more severe in view of 2023. It is now established that Ferrari has been focused on this project for some time , having given up on the development of the previous car well before the break. Taking into account the reliability problems that emerged, it wasn't a bad decision, even considering how much the budget cap can affect the design and development of a modern F1 car; which means inheriting a development margin and only the track will tell if it has paid adequately.
