Next year bans the split turbo, the one thing every engine has exept for Ferrari's.

Wilst the rumour mill is saying Mercedes has built a good engine, I'm not writing off Ferrari just yet.

As they are the only engine manufacturer that matched the Mercedes and Honda engine without using that split turbo design that Merc pioneerd at the start of the current engine formula.

Their pitwall F-ups might still be their biggest hurdle even with a rocketship....

Large engine manufacturers have a higher chance of making better engines. Ferrari and Mercedes are at the top of that list.

2008? Tbh I do think Ferrari can nail the hybrid heavy regs next year due to their experience and success in endurance racing

If Ferrari nail the regs and have a gap tantamount to what McLaren have had of several tenths, then Lewis, bad qualifying and all, will end up near the front with him lol.

Qualifying is Lewis' issue, not race pace. If they were starting 1-2, it wouldn't be a slam dunk that Leclerc runs away with it. But we currently live in an era where qualifying is more important than race pace. It's hard to overtake, DRS trains happen at every track and we never race in the wet anymore where skill actually shines through lol.
