One positive thing about this weekend is the pace of the car, which has been pretty good.
Alonso was more than 11 seconds ahead of Vettel when the safety car came out.
Lost second place because of the safety car.
Seems like some updates are not working as expected again.They are using the old engine cover and bodywork.
6 tenths in Monaco is a big gap,the track is short and the Mercedes PU advantage is less significant.
Also I expect the gap to be even bigger in qualifying.
I completely disagree, yesterday we looked very competitive both on short and long runs under dry condition.
Tomorrow we need a clean start and first lap, then we will have a chance to fight for a place on the podium against the Red Bulls.
But our starts and first laps were not so good in this season so...
As expected, 5th place behind Mercedes and Red Bull is the Maximum under wet conditions.
Actually I think rain is not good for Ferrari, I think we would have had a better chance of beating Red Bull on dry track.
If it stays wet we can expect the usual 5th place behind Red Bull and...
Yes, indeed the last race still has double points.
Domenicali when he said Ferrari is smaller than Mercedes, was talking about number of people working in the engine department:
Maybe the Mercedes engine has a better driveability.
There are some rumours that Ferrari are not able to use the full potential of the ERS yet.
From AMuS:
I don't believe it too, AMuS said during their live timing that he was on super softs. I don't know, it could be a mistake from Pirelli.
But if it is true, it would mean the Mercedes W05 is a real...
This is from Pirelli site:
1. L Hamilton Mercedes 1m33.278s Soft Used
2. V Bottas Williams 1m33.987s Soft New
3. F Alonso Ferrari 1m34.280s Supersoft New
4. N Hulkenberg Force...

Question: "Did you already get the maximum out of the car?"
Hamilton: ". No. There is still a lot to come. I have made two attempts on the super soft tires on Sunday The first attempt was not very...

If Vergne can do 1:35:701 in a Toro Rosso with a Renault engine then it would be an awful mistake to count out Red Bull.
They could well surprise everyone in Melbourne.
Alonso did fastest topspeed today 340 km/h :-E
Something positive! :-)
An area where you can find power is for example the cooling system. More cooling for the engine gives you more power, and its back to the engineers to make the gains as big as possible and the...
The actual power units are more complex than that, there are many areas where you can find an advantage.
I hope it's true because ERS makes a huge diffence in terms of laptime.
I remember last year at some tracks KERS was making a difference of 0.5s in laptime and we know it was just an 80 hp boost...
I am just worried about if it is indeed the power unit making the difference, because we can improve the car but we can't improve the performance of the PU anymore during this season.
Any news about the topspeed?
