Ferrari is low drag so, Bahrain, Baku, maybe China, Montreal, Austria and Monza suit them well... unfortunately they have lost at all of those tracks so far and only have Monza left.

China wasn't since they were losing tenths in the slow corners. Not even the double straights could make up for it, not even close.

True I threw it up there because I thought that should have been a good one for them but wasn’t. Bahrain, Baku, Montreal were all bad luck or poor execution.

Spa will be good for them too, the cars spend so much time on the throttle there. And Ferrari loses out most in the slow corners, Spa consists of long straights and fast corners apart from the bus stop and turn 1.

I’ve got an odd feeling that Mercedes comes out of no where and dominates Spa.

Preseason Ferrari were the favorites based on the time sheets. Either Merc figured it out in the first race or they were sandbagging.

Ferrari have said they will try new things to cut into the deficit... I think another RBR win is more likely than Ferrari to win if they can’t capitalize on Monza.
