    Does Bottas have a 5place penalty?

    Hope this is going to be a "race" and not another dull Merc procession.
    I really hope our guys get excellent starts off the line.

    Good news, The man , The power Sergio Marchionne is there :)

    Hopefully now they will try harder to win


    Failure from the team should not be tolerated.

    I hope Marchionne sees that Ferrari is majorly lacking in the Engine department and its not MA fault at all

    I think Renault's engine has caught Ferrari's, look how good red bull has been doing recently, Ricciardo almost matched Bottas on a power circuit who has the best engine on the grid.

    Our 4th engine was just the 3rd engine with more issues

    Why not compare them to Lewis rather than Bottas who is slower? because it would suggest the opposite of what you are trying to say?
    Forza Ferrari

    and looking at Kimi... behind Bottas and Ricciardo... i wonder if his pace is Ferrari's baseline pace, anything under could be slow and anything faster than Kimi's is overachieving with the car

    It is highlighted now, as vettel lost the lead.
    If vet would have maintained the lead, Baku incident would look smaller.

    Kimi wants the car in his zone. Even if it's fast or slow car.
    I dont see kimi as gr8 qualifier even in his glory days.
    He fastest in race conditions during his period. Not now.

    Entire momentum swung ham way with Singapore incident.
    I think team felt the pressure n was trying to overachieve the targets in Malaysia n sepang. Then reliability came into picture.
