    13:59 Another purple sector this time... Could this knock Alonso off the top spot?

    Both of them are our drivers and they are allowed to race each other.As long as they win races and bring team championship points, it does not matter which one of them is first or second.
    Red is the only color!!!

    By not bothering Fernando I mean he won't be able to drive as good, that's all. Sorry if you disagree, but Felipe is not in the same class as Fernando, regardless of what a good guy he is. Ferrari know this, which is why Fernando earns 30m EUR and Felipe less than half of that.

    Oh, and Fernando doesn't need a strong team-mate to motivate him, he does that automatically. Not that there would be a team-mate to match him...

    One of the most common things done during this session is aero test: two more runs for Fernando after the long break.

    Its nothing to do with being faboys or not...end of the day its fact isnt? lsat 2 season we have been so patient with Massa and he yet to prove that he is the same as 2008...But you are right in a way that you neet to have a competitive team mate just like button for mclaren.

    I think Autosport have a weird obsession with Ferrari's top time today
    They even start a poll about whether its a glory run or not

    For the record, I think what's happening at McLaren is a dissaster. Those two will *never* get their hands on a drivers' title as they're in the same team. As long as someone else has the fastest car, they'll just fight for scraps, and McLaren seem to finish 2nd in the championship regardless of who's no 1.

    So, I know the PR is great and all - two champions in the same team - but that's a recipe for dissaster. It's good for PR, but not much else.

    And as Ferrari Tifosi we need to support both drivers, could we agree on that as well?

    Yes we need to do that, but be realistic about who's no 1 at Ferrari.

    so before we roll out the red-carpet.. what was the tire situation on all the fast laps this week?
    Are we comparing apples to apples here?
    we're number one

    People should be free to play favorites IMO, as long as it is a ferrari driver they support (if not why bother posting in a Ferrari forum right?); what should be avoided is to unfairly criticize a member of the team. Anything more than that is overzealous Ferrariness

    all softs as far as I know, however there are many other variables so it's not really comparable yet I don't think
