    New fund to be mounted on the Ferrari in view of the second free practice session. Yesterday Vettel had asked for a more stable Ferrari. Curve 8 and curve 13 points where Ferrari lost something during the first session.

    Well, FUND in Romanian translated in English is a$$....which is the end part of the car....so when this word comes up I know what they mean....lol
    So 2023 started off bad, but managed to claw back some lap time come end of the year. Lets hope SF24 will give us tifosi something to smile about.

    FP1 means nothing I would wait until the race runs in FP2 before judging race pace

    Exactly as FP2 is much closer as to what the conditions will be for quali and race.....as it’s not gonna be as warm during those sessions

    Fondo in Italian has several meanings.
    In this case, floor or bottom.

    Ferrari have invested a lot in a cutting new edge technology. They even managed to make it smaller, they have the microversion and let it run free in Kimi's cockpit.

    It's turn on automatically when the times Kimi posts arent what Ferrari want... It costs are easily surpased by the efficiency it brings.

    Here you have footage of this marvel engineering, its the bigger version for other uses, but you get the idea:

    I doubt the issue is that serious but frustrating to lose time as the session is very important

    Great lap by kim, no info on tyres on graphics no nice words from sky as usual. Vet out of car at the moment still having issues i guess. Hope he gets out before the end of session, Ferrari on site mechanics are usually very quick.

    at first glance, YES....but we havent' seen what Two Chains can do on the Soft tires to compare

    This winy little snowflake called Crofty, that guy just makes me angry! All is about why Ferrari, or how Ferrari won, when the race was neutralized. I would really like to neutralize him!

    I think Kimi likes this car, from the onset of course, but he seems to be settling in it. After the practices in Aus. and now, he's right there with Vettel.

    Kimi said that he was surprised that there was so good grip, and he was happy with the car
