Re: Formula 1 General Chat & Discussion

Fantastic "Checo" Perez..... and incredible what Alonso did today!!! Thumb up

Ferrari nowadays has a car much lower of at least 5 or 6 teams. Entering the Q3 on the Pole has merit, but for winning a race, plus luck you need a great driver, and Alonso is it.

Hopefully this year Ferrari put a car with warranties to compete with the rest.

On the other hand, I`m glad to see "iceman" back on top. The fastest lap on race shows that he can fight again for "the crown". Go Kimi !!!!


You are right, iceman, Alonso today to triumphed for the strategy of the team, for being a magnificent pilot, for the circumstances of the climate and for an error of Perez.
The Ferrari is still more than 1 second behind the best teams.
It is necessary to have the feet in the soil and to admit that, presently, Ferrari has a lot of work that to do to be really competitive.
I hope that it should obtain it soon.

Re: Formula 1 General Chat & Discussion

It is not normal what happens with Ferrari.
Perhaps error in the design of the car?
For me, the new front part of the car, has been a mistake.
Although Alonso is a big pilot, if he does not have a good car, it is impossible to do miracles.
Anyway, I trust in the recovery of Ferrari and in that it will do a big championship.

Shaky, I think not the best times for you right now - why Ferrari has no speed so far ? I have no idea! Confused Maybe somebody has an idea ??? Blush
For me very interesting:
Vettel will start as the only one with hard tires and fast with full tank it seems ! Cool Maybe the key to victory ???? Tongue Tongue Tongue
