umm i dont know, i havent read anything about wethere the aero is bad or good to be honest. but i dont think Ferrari would be talking about it either.

thier pace has dropped WAY TO MUCH, for it to be blamed on the tires alone.

i dont believe them on sec, and knowing Ferrari they tell anyone why they are lacking pace.
What else could it be then? I can't think of anything that would be more detrimental to a F1 car's performance than their aero. Unless there is something wrong with the fuel loading from friday to sunday..but that would only account for maybe one or two tenths. Certainly not a full minute or more.

what's the word on their power output compared to Mercedes and Renault? that may have a little to do with it as well, though tests have shown engine power to make negligble differences in lap times compared to downforce.
