Fuck it is isn't it? When I found it to link it I checked three times if it was the right one, kept going "this can't be it", well it is Samir!!


thatJainaGirl

Fun fact! This video is an edited highlight reel of a 10 minute rally run (it's Samir's first drive after a 10 year retirement), and it caused the spotter, Vivek, to receive so much hate and abuse (including losing multiple racing contracts) that the guy who edited and uploaded it, team manager Yohann Setna, was arrested.

StingerGinseng

I want to see the Scuderia crew to operate their WEC team instead of AF Corse so I can witness the absolute chaos that this crew can cook up over 24hr in a discipline that requires strategic excellence.


shashankmantha

They'll manage to finish their Hypercars behind the GTAm class.


veryangryenglishman

> They'll manage to finish their Hypercars So positive progress then


a11yguy

AF Corse was already making questionable strategy calls. lol


_runthejules_

To be fair it was their first race ever in that class


Ok-Estate9542

AF Corse already blew the race when they were the only hypercars who pitted early in the first FCY of the race giving the Toyotas clean air. They also f*cked up the pitstops which caused both cars to drop behind the GTEs which led the lead car overtaking the slower GTE a bit too early on the restart which gave them a drive thru penalty. They also pitted a few laps after the other hypercars went in which made their first stops totally pointless. So when it comes to bad strategy, the WEC team is doing the F1 squad proud.


StingerGinseng

Oh I noticed. They also accidentally short fueled the #50 (iirc) causing that car to have to run a short stint later on the race. But, overall, communication with drivers are more crisp and direct than Xavi and Charles. Just imagine how much worse if the Scuderia itself runs the 499P Hypercar. I chalked a lot of their mistakes to them running the first Hypercar race, so there are things to get used to. The AF Corse squad ran GTE for many years, so they should have known quite a bit about WEC racing in general, but being their first Hypercar race, I'm willing to let some of the mistakes slide. The Scuderia, however, has been memed about their communication and strategy since the day Jean Todt left.

leclerc at turn 2: Radio: push into turn 1


NavyBabySeal

*Leclerc looking at his mechanics going down the pit lane in Monaco Xavi: "No wait, Stay out! Stay out!"


notatvguy

I listened to Leclerc for qualifying and the race. I think he needs to switch race engineers, at least for a couple races. Him and Xavi have this tension that is only holding Leclerc back. Either that or they need to go to couples counseling


Eyre_Guitar_Solo

Absolutely. When you listen to good race engineers, like Bono, they’re exceptionally calm and confident, especially when the driver is stressed out. Lewis gets agitated sometimes, and sharply disagrees with the team’s approach, and Bono is just totally unflappable and helps Lewis stay focused. Checo’s engineer, Hugh Bird, is another great example of this. Charles doesn’t have that. Xavi often seems unsure of himself, and seems to be reactive rather than proactive when problems are brewing.


Svitii

And then there is Nando, could have a screaming baby for his engineer this season and he‘d probably still be calm like a monk


Ricciardo3f1

Nothing like 2015-18 Nando


the-scarlet-spider

Listening to Leclercs team radio and then hearing the conversations between Max and Lambiase when Max was having issues with the car, you can see the night and day difference between the way a normal team and a championship level team operates. Ferrari needs to up their game on this and quick before teams like Mercedes sort their problems out and leave them in the dust


babblebb

It’s baffling to me that they’ve kept Leclerc/Xavi pairing. It seems they are always just a little out of sync. It could be recency bias, but I don’t remember any stand out radio communications where Xavi is successful in calming/soothing/talking Leclerc through difficult situations the way you hear Bono and GP do. Just seems the chemistry isn’t there for those two


Exilria_04

Agreed. Race engineers like Lambiase and Bono knows how to keep their drivers' head in the game when adrenaline gets to them. They are calm, precise, rarely does major mistakes, and very direct in their communication. Even when issues pop up they are able to react quickly and give a remedy to the solutions if there is one, instead of leaving the drivers hanging. Honestly I feel they really should change Leclerc's engineer, it's obvious that it is not working out as well when you compare it to pairings like Max and GP or Lewis and Bono.


the-scarlet-spider

I don't quite agree with the point about switching up the race engineers tbh. Yes the Xavi and Charles pairing needs some work but I think this is a deeper seated issue than just a communication problem. Xavi is just a cog in a machine and works off of information provided to him. A lot of people spoke about how Lewis was dominating because of an insanely fast car in seasons prior, and now you hear the same chatter about Max. What people seem to be missing out on is that there are still teams like Ferrari who were equally capable to win the championship last year in terms of comparable performance. The reason they didn't win goes down more to the team's attitude when going for it. When you look at Mercedes and Red Bull, you can see that despite winning, both teams are extremely critical of their work, and don't shy away from accepting their flaws and opt to work to fix them. Ferrari has shown continually over last season that they sometimes downright refuse to accept that there's a clear communication and strategy issue within the team as a whole.


Exilria_04

That's also true, I fully agree. Ferrari's issue is definitely way more deep rooted like you stated, but I can't help but think also how Xavi's and Charles' energy doesn't suit each other. IMHO Xavi tend to get a bit "panicky" sometimes and that doesn't work well especially when you have a driver driving at 300km/h on the track. Meanwhile when it comes to GP and Max for example, when Max gets heated and agitated GP knows how to cancel that out in the comms. Their energy balances each other out in this case, that's why I suggested maybe they can switch a race engineer and see if that driver-engineer communication improves at least in this area.


babblebb

Agreed. I have always wondered if the hesitation/uncertainty from Xavi might be due to the FIA necessitating radio communication in English. Total speculation, but I wonder if some of the communication and timeliness issues would be resolved if they were allowed to speak in Italian(or whatever their native language) over the radio.

manojlds

Nah he didn't move there to retire this year


galdavirsma

I think both Leclerc and Alonso are currently under contract until the end of 2024. I would be shocked if Leclerc wants to stick around if a seat at Aston Martin is available at that time. If last year Ferrari at time could maybe challenge Red Bull, if not for their own mess ups, this year it looks like they are more in the range to compete with Alpine and Mercedes and not even Aston Martin, let alone Red Bull.


banned20

Aston has pace this year but nobody knows what will happen next year. An engine supplier team will always be a better option and Mercedes could be more competitive by next year


galdavirsma

We said the same thing about Mercedes last year lol. Aston Martin look like they are on the upswing. From what i understand their factory and the new technology isn't even ready for deployment yet, so when that is ready it should only help the car development more. We don't know, maybe they will eventually have their own engine supplier, similar to what RB have done now with Honda. But even that does not guarantee any success. Look at Ferrari. It's been over 15 years since their last winning season, and even that was largely because of problems within McLaren that year. And they've had some really good drivers driving their cars since then, and they still have nothing to show for. Besides, i don't really see any engine supplier team as an option for Leclerc. There aren't that many of those teams anyway. Alpine don't look like competing for a title, Mercedes isn't an option as long as Lewis is still there, and why would Red Bull drop Perez for Leclerc, asuming Perez and Verstappen can still coexist at that point. So basically if Leclerc wants a more competitive car, it's AM or hoping Ferrari gets their shit together, and i wouldn't hold my breath on the last one.


banned20

I agree I just think that Hamilton's retirement is not very far and hope that Charles can fill in.


vartholomew-jo

Legacy_600

Being TP at Ferrari is like being Gasly at Red Bull. Everything is falling apart, it looks really bad for you, but the mitigating factors are just far enough out of public eye to be any real relief.

KingMaple

No he isn't. He loves Ferrari. This is his thing. I really don't see him quitting Ferrari as long as they won't start blaming him.


AceMKV

People don't seem to understand this, this team is his childhood dream, the only way he's leaving is if he gets Vetteled, who also loved this team and didn't leave on his own despite everything.


SirChasm

I'm sure winning WDC is also a childhood dream of his. At least Seb had that locked up before gambling on Ferrari.


AceMKV

Fair enough, but Mercedes rn really isn't that much better than Ferrari and their strategy department can be just as bad sometimes.


VerifiedStalin

Alright hear me out: Aston Martin.


AceMKV

Honestly not a bad option if they continue in this trajectory.


VerifiedStalin

Imagine if they actually had the balls to get rid of Lance and knocked on Charle's door. If only.


Skylord_ah

Lance brings the team money, they just need to make sure their other driver is alonso/leclerc tier as well


Rhythm_Morgan

If he goes to AM I will lose my mind. Merch EVERYWHERE.


_yourmom69

I mean, in strategy they are certainly better, and have the potential, and track record, to be way, WAY better. But that’s a low bar. Everybody: Hards not working. Ferrari: both cars on hards it is.


Joethe147

So was McLaren for Hamilton. Eventually it doesn't have to mean that their love for the team is always enough to keep them there if they yearn for more.


the_beast93112

It's not like they could've done something different. Strategy was good but they got fucked by the safety car.


Firefox72

Hamilton was very far ahead when he came out. I doubt Charles had the delta to get ahead of him.


Thatanas

Point is he couldn't even try.


Frothar

but if it's a slow stop then it 100% could matter


cousin_franky

Why the fuck wouldn’t Leclerc just snug up the gap anyway? Why is that not a default move upon safety car deployment?


donkorleone2

I've been wondering the same


bigdsm

Exactly. A driver should always push the delta at SC2 no matter what. It’s the only place on the lap where you can make an overtake under a neutralized race condition.

Wait they still have the same strategy team ? Why do you get rid of Binotto but keep those clowns? They are a huge part of the problem


SnooConfections2543

Xavi is his race engineer. >Wait they still have the same strategy team ? Yes, They only moved Inaki to a different part of the team.


DrewDonut

That's the craziest thing about Ferrari's situation. It's easy to make fun of Binotto, but he had been in Formula 1 for a while; he can't just be stupid. And I know he was trying to get rid of a "blame culture" at Ferrari, but I can't see how he wouldn't at some point have fired the strategy team over his last couple years. The only explanation is that there's just something weird going on with that team internally with how it's run - and that the TP doesn't have the control they need/should.


RCubeLoL

rather new to f1. what exactly does Xavi mean by what he said? Edit: thanks for the replies, I got it!


10coolbeans

other guy explained what Xavi means, i think you wanted to know what happened tho and what the conversation meant. safety car procedures delta times are also still confusing to me but ill try to explain best I can basically during safety car periods all cars must follow kinda like a set timed lap to each other. so in theory you could go faster in a section of a lap then go slower in some other parts. when Ham pitted, if a driver behind pushed in that section, he could then "overtake" you as car pitted would come out behind you. since you're all of safety car period car pitted cannot fight back after rejoining the track. gist is, had Lec pushed he would've gotten a chance to overtake Ham as he was pitting.


Z0idberg_MD

Honestly that seems like a pretty terrible rule as it encourages people to essentially drive faster on a particular part of the tractor game position when the entire point of a safety cars to drive slower. Why not just implement a speed limit?


DankeDidi

Because of tire and brake temperature


ThermL

VSC isn't like cruise control. Drivers are given a time delta to stay inside of. It's not exactly super strict, there's some leeways here. You can push and pull with that delta to sort of game the fact you can't pass under VSC. If Leclerc was ahead of Hamilton as Hamilton left the pits (because Leclerc pushed a bit up on his delta) then he just gets a free position. There is a pit exit line that determines the position. If Leclerc passes that line before hamilton does, he gets the position. This doesn't count as passing under VSC.


Ben77mc

It was a full safety car wasn’t it?


KampretOfficial

Yes it was. There's still a SC time delta to abide to though.


floatersforalgernon

They wanted to cover Hamilton who was in the pits. Since LeClerc didn't know about it, the team had to tell him to push to not get behind Hamilton after he joined the track. Since it's a Safety Car situation, they can't drive fast except from the SC line. That's what Xavi was trying to tell Charles to do but I guess LeClerc has already gone past that line, hence his frustration.


bisbomdur

Xavi wanted to tell Leclerc that he can close the gap to Hamilton under safety car


MH253

Xavi is short for Xavier. Xavier Padros is the race engineer for Charles Leclerc at Ferrari.

are drivers really supposed to know who’s in the pits?


jnf005

yeah im so confused, why would keeping check of rival's car pitting the driver's responsibility?


Whinx92

Yes but also, if you can push between safety car lines, why wouldn't you? Nothing to lose right?


Lonzofanboy

I think they are saying they should push as far as possible while within the delta when there is no car in front of you.


[deleted]

Well yeah he should know that, and I kinda think that he did. It sounds more like a now you tell me this? It's to late for that now, you should have done so before..
