🏎 Ferrari's Terrible Tyre Wear at the Barcelona-Catalunya and Austrian GP

Ferrari's tyre wear on the Medium compound was terrible - TWICE that of the other teams 😳 (>1.5s/lap slower after just 13 laps)!

In Catalunya, their higher wear forced a 3-stop strategy, which proved best. They were forced into the same approach in Austria, where, however, a 2-stopper was actually better.

So in Catalunya, worse wear + the best strategy evened out. In Austria, it was worse wear AND worse strategy!

On the Hards, Ferrari was the slowest top team. On Mediums, they pushed too hard at the start of the stint (matching Mercedes' lap times), and their wear skyrocketed. The extreme heat likely hurt their rear grip, which LEC said was missing.

Plenty to learn and improve on for the next races..
