    Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Alonso goes sniffing up Ferrari's pipe - let's face it, time's running out for the 2005 and 2006 champion and he needs to grab his career by the throat and take the best chance each year to win, and the best chance for him for 2019 will be with Ferrari. Not sure if it's a step backwards for Ferrari seeing the current good Seb and Kimi relationship, even though we all know that Kimi is yearning to earn at least equal status within the team - who wouldn't!

    There is a lot for him to prove in order to be one.

    Wow! That's hitting low. And your sober! You owe me one!

    Max the Crash is the greatest driver ? LOL ok , now we all know you're drunk :D
    I said " Will be ," not yet! Lewis is now that. Me wanting Max @ Ferrari is almost, but not quite as heavy as most folks here wanting Leclerc @ Ferrari. Max is 20 and has crashed his way to the podium and a win, so far so good. I'm going to drink to that!

    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.

    The pit boys can only call on Kimi to help when Seb is somewhere to be found. But I agree, Seb needs all the Kimi help he can get.

    sad thing is unless kimi can provide similar for ferrari , hamilton will be untouchable, kimi and seb cant vs each other and hope to beat hamilton when bottas is the perfect no.2 stopping seb and letting ham through to easy wins as well lol still wolf trying to explain the wingman comments is really funny.

    Kimi needs Seb nearby and up front to do a Bottas Lewis move. He will and does when he can, and takes a podium or 2 while he's at it!!

    no, no, no.....Vettel needs to secure POLE position at every race and ALSO if possible, Kimi to be right up there with him in order to protect him from Luise.....jsut like Bota$$ does to his master Hamster

    Can't wait for the SPA race. Hopefully we haven't lost anything to Mercedes in terms of pace. If so, I think we will do well in Belgium and Italy, taking the lead in at least one of the championships. I feel upbeat about our chances

    well with all due respect, the next TWO races i think are engine dependent races....so since we have a really strong engine this year, especially with spec 3 coming in Spa for Ferrari (haas and sauber have tested it first in Hungary and everything seemed OK) i think we should NOT worry, OH and our car is pretty good in aero efficiency as we've seen that we are topping the trap speeds at every track and that was also the tale, tale ever since winter testing in Spain.....

    i'm sure Mercedes will also bring some aero updates to Spa, but so will we....

    so if the car proves to be FAST....or faster then the Merc....all Seb has to do is put it on POLE and come sunday run away with a the victory....and same will go for Monza

    fingers crossed and Forza Ferrari!!!!

    maybe both mate.....with some overdue bad luck for Hamster.....like a DNF

    i know it's harsh thinking from my part....but will NOT be sorry one bit if it does happen....ha, ha..

    Renault said Ric should not expect to fight for wins till 2020. This was very well known, Renault are waiting for the new rules to try and thrive in.

    Ferrari fast or even faster car is already real. Now as you so well put it, Seb the #1 driver "Legend" as some call him here needs to prove for the fans and himself "WDC", and get on pole and win it!! No one wants to here about Lewis' luck .

    Look where Dan wound up trying to give Max "Hell!" IMO Gasly will be Rubenized ASAP; at least until Max leaves RB for Ferrari!

    Max is the golden boy at RB but I have a feeling that Pierre is no push over and we know how competitive he is.
    I too would love to see him show Max a clean pair of heels.
    I can not see him being Rubenized as I think he's his own man!!!!!
    As for Dan at Reno it would be great to see them beat RB next year.


    Forza Jules

    I always thought that Ricciardo is a great quali driver, but it is 10-2 to Max this year, so I don`t know what to think about that.

    Maybe Max has the speed, only needs his brain and car reliability sorted out

    He definitely has the speed as he constantly beats Ricciardo when it comes to speed.

    How dumb could Dan be to let a 20 yr. old beat hell out of him with a worse car? Podium finishes and a win takes a minimum of brains , how brainless are the rest of the drivers ?
