Any predictions for Qualy? I think Alonso could take pole today and it would be nice especially because he`s driving in front of his home crowd :thumb

I think we’ll do very well, but i am concerned about our pace on soft tyres. Performance of our drivers in Q3 will be key to the race

Hopefully both our cars in the top 4 - but the times were so close this morning with very little separating the top 10 so it could go to anyone.

I'm not dreaming for a pole. It will be a close fight for Q3 even. I didn't say that- the team did:


Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa finished fifth (1.38.513) and eighth (1.38.686) respectively, as they carried on with the work begun yesterday, with an in-depth analysis of the updates brought here, as well as comparing the two types of tyre compound: both Ferrari men did two runs, the first on the hard and the second on the soft, which unfortunately in Felipe’s case only produced a slight improvement and none at all for Fernando. Considering the progress made by other teams, it looks like being a very closely contested fight to get through to Q3.

Schumacher's problem was that the car was pulling to the side. They're not sure if they have fixed it or not.

Alonso and Massa currently P2 and P4.

Rubens up to P3.

Hamilton leads so far.

Webber takes it by 4 tenths.

Not OTT at all. We were on for Pole, everyone saying how good our updates are (and they are), yet we've ended up 4th and 5th.

We just seem to go backwards in the last session, unable to complete a good lap.

You're right, long race tomorrow, anything can happen, but starting P4 and P5 at this circuit makes our job a whole lot harder.

Doesn't bode well for when McLaren bring their exhaust to Silverstone.

MRRabbit
26th June 2010, 13:07
The other teams gained time using the softer tire, we didn't that's how it is. Let's see in the race, sadly its such a shitty circuit so overtaking will be hard. I'm confident we will be strong in the race :)

i thought we'd be the contenders for pole this weekend with the BIG upgrades we had
just can't believe the bulls took it by nearly HALF a second in comparison to US....where did we go wrong??? or did the so called MAJOR updates NOT work so good for us...

just like others have said it here, if it didn't make that big a difference here....i don't want to know what's gonna happen in TOW WEEKS time in Silverstone where even the McCheaters are gonna have their BLOWN DEFUSER and exhaust

i just hope we can work VERY hard these two weeks at Maranello and try to fine tune the blown defuser so we have better quali pace...

.....but then again, tomorrow the race will be long and anything can happen....as the Bull's reliability front hasn't been that great this year

one can only hope....Forza Ferrari!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hermann
26th June 2010, 13:16
After what was said from the team side before qualy this is the best result we could get- they couldn't make the softs working, again. The problem is when you have a car that is 'good' to the tyres, you get problems heating them up properly.

But at least we have both cars close together. The start will be interesting since Massa is on the clean side, he might pass Fernando at the start.

Well i didn't expect anything better. If you don't listen to the press hype and study the cars and watch their behaviour on track, you get a more realistic picture. There was no way any of our cars could make pole today. The softs just didn't work for them here.

TheProdigalSon

Softs worked for massa he improved, but alonso was slower on the softs for some reason which is a pity. No use having great race pace when your stuck behind slower cars.

mandzipop
26th June 2010, 13:48
I'm not too concerned. The upgrade is only part one of the upgrade. It was said it wouldn't make that much difference on this track. Alonso fluffed up his first lap but not sure what happened on his second. There was an element of driver error by both drivers, by the sounds of it. Hamilton's first attempt was quite good. So had the driver errors not occured I think it could have been a second row lockout. Remember the Red Bull's brought their F-Duct so that almost counteracts the problems they were likely to have.

It could be worse. Our upgrades could have worked like the Mercs.

This is the problem we had from the beginning. Maybe the team chose to concentrate on a car that would be good to the tyres in the first, assuming that it would be crucial in a season without refuelling. And maybe this was a mistake.

If we don't improve significantly in the next 2 races, there will be no titles this year for Ferrari. Actually its already too late, if you ask me, but i will keep a little hope until it becomes totally obvious.

That just proves my point, massa improved but is still behind Alonso, but when they were on hards the gap is much bigger. The softs and hard don't differ to much but the softs are ment to give an extra 2 tenths which they were doing for other teams, yet with ferrari they were more or less the same maybe slightly better.

They were not driver errors because if you look at onboards with hard then soft tyres you can clearly see the car becomes unstable when they use the soft tyres. Alonso was on it on hards, the ferrari just can't seem to get the softs working again.

Even Kubica who was looking super quick on hards said the same thing happened to him, a weakness macca and redbull don't seem to have.

justjesper
26th June 2010, 14:20
Not to bad. We have always been better in the race this year.
Alonso looked very much on the edge and beyond a few times. Massa would had been close to the top in Q2 had he not backed out. I think Massa could had been starting from p3 had he gotten his lap together.
I think Massa will be very quick tomorrow. I'll be crossing my fingers all morning as I will be working and will miss the race. Damn

Greig

Massa looked more on the edge than Alonso did from what I seen, maybe I watched a different qual though :-)

Sianellen
26th June 2010, 15:09
To be fair to Massa his Q2 time was better than any of Alonsos laps. He said afterwards that traffic was a bit of a problem for him. So its possible we have more potential than we showed in qualifying which i think is pretty good, given that both cars are in the top 5 currently.


“Today, we had a good car and the potential was there to do better than this fifth place. In Q1 and Q2, I was very pleased with the handling of my F10, but in Q3 I was not able to improve, mainly because of traffic that prevented me from preparing the tyres properly."

NJB13
26th June 2010, 15:25
Some of the comments here amaze me.
For P1, P2 & P3 everything was upbeat. 10 minutes has all but destroyed some and others seem like they wanna run and hide. Geeze Louise! We didn't do well in Q3 - there could be lots and lots of reasons for that. Egads! Our race pace and tyre management has been some of our strengths this year. It's a long race and a very new upgrade and we've had very little time to study and tweek it. Lets see what tomorrow brings ;-)

Stormsearcher
26th June 2010, 16:48
To be honest i was disappointed reading the headline Germany beat England in F1... and that our drivers were 4th and 5th. :-( However i think its not that bad. We might have just expected too much from the upgrades. I guess its still a manageable position to get good points.
Hopefully the race will be better for us. I am pretty sure one of our cars is going to make the podium. I just hope they dont tangle into the first corner.
I guess the others brought upgrades too... redbull being half a second faster is a scary thought. Lewser seems to be at our pace. So hopefully the redbulls will self destruct, if they take lewser with them, i wont complain. :-)

NJB13
26th June 2010, 16:53
Most of the race will be on the prime and we are extremely competitive on the prime - clearly we weren't able to get the most on a 2/3 lap stint on the super-softs, but, we know the F10 is good to its tyres. I'm still very optimistic for tomorrow.

Greig
26th June 2010, 17:22
I think we can still have a good race, its so very close especially in the longer runs on the hard tyres, overtaking is hard but its still possible, Lewis might well clear a path for our boys anyway before he pits for tyres after 10 laps :-D

i thought of the same thing...since the Cheaters are not that good on tires....especially the softs, they're gonna have to come to change them WAY earlier they us, that's when we push really hard to gain some time for when we have to pit and change to hards.
and since we have such a GOOD pace on the hards, who knows, maybe we're gonna do WELL in the race after all....especially if the reliability issues come and HUNT the BULLS again....

but all in all, i think we should be able to get on that podium and between the 2 cars haul some good points

Naeem
26th June 2010, 18:18
Our car looks unstable in the big breaking zones, we're fast in the first two sectors but slow in the final sector so i'm assuming the brake bias is wrong which is a minor set up probelm. Tomorrow we'll be the easiest car on the tyres so if hamster can keep up with the RBs we could podium or day i say it, win when we stay out longer.

Agron
26th June 2010, 18:29
Considering how difficult it is to overtake in this track, I kinda hoped we would be doing more glory runs in FP setting up the car for qualifying rather than race. It's better to start third and only have pace to defend, waiting for mistakes and problems from the first two rivals, than to start fourth and have the pace to attack, but being unable to overtake. Besides with only one change of tyres you will at most have the chance to overtake 1 of the front running cars in boxes.

epiclyaddicted
26th June 2010, 18:36
I think, looking at the Free Practice sessions, the F10 is definitely better and quicker on the harder tyres. So tomorrow, if we pit relatively early, or at least earlier than the two Red Bulls and Hamilton, get the hards on and get them up to temperature, then by the time Hamilton, Webber and Vettel pit, Massa and Alonso can really make a charge in those couple of laps. I am hopeful, that with a bit of luck, we could still end up with a double podium finish.

Forza Ferrari! :ferrarifl

So tomorrow, if we pit relatively early, or at least earlier than the two Red Bulls and Hamilton, get the hards on and get them up to temperature, then by the time Hamilton, Webber and Vettel pit, Massa and Alonso can really make a charge in those couple of laps. I am hopeful, that with a bit of luck, we could still end up with a double podium finish.

Forza Ferrari! :ferrarifl

We'll need Webber to take Vettel out (as revenge and not apologise :clap) for a double podium.

Massa looked more on the edge than Alonso did from what I seen, maybe I watched a different qual though :-)

he did, i thought that aswell. Think he may of beenpushing (trying) bit too hard. He likes this track alot and he knows what car and himself can do.

Lewis takes MW SV out at second corner ;-)

Really we have done well, car looks great and we have made good improvement. Forza Ferrari, we will have very good result tomorrow, valuable points.

The car is definitely moving in the right direction. The major issue with the car is qualifying it one of those things it si so gentle on it's tires It can't build up enough heat and grip, yet, this disadvantage becomes an advantage during the race.

Fingers crossed for a successful race.

This is a really good point RR, I said something similar earlier, in Q3 you only have 10 minutes. That gives you time to have 2 runs of 2, maybe 3 laps. Our car doesn't get the supersofts up to optimum temp in that time, especially if we are slowed down. The race is completely different.

Alonso qualified 4th in Canada and had a chance to win, so anything is possible.Sans the GP2 cars getting in the way.........

This track isn't hard on tyres so 1 pit stop tops, no rain, awful track and we will have uneventful boring race. 3rd place is the most we can get here I''m afraid. I'm just hoping that TV cameras will be showing our cars 80% of the time, if so I will be happy never mind the end result :D

So you think Fernando is going to be poor this race then? What a whinge dude. Like the way you have predetermined the blame for a mistake he hasn't even made yet. :lol Very supportive.

McLaren have no upgrades this season? :rotfl
