No, it was built for monza and about 1-2 other tracks, so let’s hope they get an easy win there. They forgot about the remaining tracks on the calendar.

It was such a look of "I want to be in that car!"
Horner would probably take him back for old time's sake, but I suspect Max would crush him more than any other team mate to date in both qualifying and races.

It's no longer important. I would love to see either Ferrari focusing the development for next year, or just stopping their participation in this series and establishing alternative series.

The Ferrari was a very competitive car in Bahrain, Canada, Austria, Germany and who know where else, didn't win because of corrupted and unfair political decisions.
Must go out of this corrupted hell.

Off you go then. Ferrari need F1 more than F1 need Ferrari, especially now Red Bull have stepped up.

Ferrari would seriously lose face if they left now.
I think it would be better for Ferrari to begin something new, fair and strictly racing oriented. No shows, no entertainment, only pure competition.
"If you haven't heard already, Ferrari is threatening to quit Formula One if engine regulations set to begin in 2021 take effect. Now, FCA boss Sergio Marchionne has revealed Ferrari could start an entirely new race series if relations with F1 continue to degrade." https://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/a14471467/ferrari-threatens-to-quit-formula-1/

Much as I hate to post anything that would support @4K8KW10's fevered rantings, those two quotes there are absolute balls
Ferrari could quite easily survive not being in F1. The road car business is more than enough to keep the company alive, and there are other categories to race in (enduros, GTs). F1 on the other hand is propped up mainly by the enormous fees being charged to host races and the fairly enormous fees paid by TV companies to show the circus on pay TV. Won't take much for one of those sources to dip and suddenly F1 will need all the friends and viewer draws it can get.
You may not like them or even respect them, but for a lot of fans worldwide Ferrari are the element that draws them to the sport.
Besides, what the hell are people going to hate on instead if they did go?

Absolutely no chance of Ferrari leaving let alone starting a new race series.

Has Bernie turned the entertainment sprinklers on yet?

You do realise those two articles were from the end of 2017 back when the late Sergio Marchionne was in charge? I don't remember hearing anymore statements on leaving this year whilst the real crunch negotiations for 2021 are taking place.

Hot temps don't usually help Merc but we'll see today.
Lewis needs to get by Bottas at the start otherwise he'll be sat behind him all day while Max disappears up the road.
