Before today I was thinking back to back wins in Monaco are difficult. I mean since 2001 we've only had 2 wins here, so historically it doesn't look good.

I just dont want them to lose the development race :(, if they have to lose here but be strongest everywhere else. 100% would take it but that performance at spain and lauda saying that spains performance is a sign for all the races to come left me with a worse feeling than usual.

simple answer, FIA and Liberty Media guns blazing for the Spectacle and party modes, nothing to do with the spirit of racing that WAS Formula 1.

I personally CANNOT wait for Ferrari to pull out of this farcical stage.

Well I have a bad feeling that we might lose the WDC just because of the tyres. It will be a real shame. In first races our tyre deg was pretty ok, but after Baku everything went downhill. I dont have a good feeling like I had after lets say Baku, my feeling its back to really bad, hope I am wrong, but it doesnt look promising.

Oh now look who is crying the negativity...after you lecture everybody else about it perhaps you should follow your own advice.

Guys look now, vet did 1.13.2 on US. In fp1 vet did 1.13.0 on HS. So do u still think fp1 is representative ????
Come on have a break.

times are still not representative yet as in ferrari is NOT really pushing at this stage....no way the torro rosso (with honda engine) are 2 tenths back

Torro Rosso is on the Hypersoft Tire vs US for Seb. No?

u could be right as Max smashes the times but with HS tire

Seb on US, max & ric on HS, bottas on US & ham on SS, TR on HS

still those times by red fools are impressive....no way there is a 1 second diff between HS and US

Performance difference between HS & US is huge might be.

You know how RB pushes to limits on Friday’s & satdays. They will be on fumes on Friday’s & that too mad max.

[Ferrarichamp]

...and protected by Stewards... ???
did anyone see the footage of the dutch idiot reversing and impeding KIMI? stewards result of investigation... no further action...
but had it been a Ferrari........
I simply don't understand why he's being protected so much??????

[Ferrarichamp]

well Kimi has just done it

[Giallo 550]

I have faith that the team will get the setup right and we will beat both Red Bull and Mercedes.

RBR, Ferrari, Merc.
could this be the order?

[nani_s23]

RBR, Ferrari, Merc.
could this be the order?

Mrng few guys said RB, mercs, Ferrari in fp1
Now in fp2 RB, Ferrari, mercs....
Come fp3 it will change. Ferrari, RB, mercs

[bondilad]

That's correct

[FerrariF60]

from teh looks at the moment....yeah it seems like it

[FerrariF60]

i like where you're going with your thinking...let's hope that's how it's gonna end up in quali

It would appear so, but this isn't too bad. If Max and Daniel qualify 1 and 2, they will both want the win. RBR won't issue team orders and we all know where that will lead. All Seb has to do is keep his nose clean in 3rd until Max and Daniel take each other out.

I know race pace does not matter here. But how is our race pace?

[FerrariF60]

WOW....rich has gone 1:11.8......what's the answer??? running on fumes?? i think they are just bloody fast

[FerrariF60]

I know race pace does not matter here. But how is our race pace?

of course it matters.....as someone could easily undercut you if they are better race pace

It's FP2, take it easy.

[FerrariF60]

It's FP2, take it easy.

i am taking it easy....i'm just looking at #'s , but if we did those quali lap time simulations with heavy fuel....then i'm fine

[WS6TransAm01]

True. Ferrari seems to make a lot of progress overnight. If we are slow in FP3, then worry.
