2018 German GP - Practices and Qualifying

[mizf1]

Hopefuly this does not affect us like it did at a previous race when FP3 was a wash out. Ferrari usually find a lot of time from Friday to Saturday and now we have to use Quali to verify our set up changes

[bondilad]

I think rain will stop for quali but track will still be wet. Fp3 is usually where ferrai dial in their setup so nk running could be bad for us.

Im guessing Ferrari did their homework yesterday knowing it could be wet in p3 and quali.

[mizf1]

Ferrari hit the track

[Rishu]

What is happening with Marchionne? Heard Ferrari are looking for a new CEO.

He was suppose to step down later in the year

Something to do with illness, think they want a replacement sooner. Possibly this weekend

Neck/shoulder operation. Hope nothing serious, though.

[bondilad]

Any idea if the rain has stopped ?

Red Bulls should be favorite for pole if it rains or even on a drying track. So Max has can be P2 and still end up on pole if Ricciardo is quickest. They are going to be "glued" to the track compared to everyone else in the stadium section.

Doesn't bother me as long as we are infront of the mercs

Rain will benefit mercs too esp in s3, they have been faster in the downforce twisty sections since france compared to ferrari, at austria they brought an update that gave a big boost to slow corners as well. Hoping the clouds part away and the sun fries up the track nice and sizzling hot

[Otakukim]

Hopefully we can get a decent grid spot. Im not hopeful

[bondilad]

Looks like its gonna be dry..... atleast q3.

[IulianFerrari]

That would be good news. Hopefully we can get to q3 without problems.

[mwk360]

mercs and other teams are all headscratching thinking ferrari's new power. From the battery is by bypassing the sensor but they cant prove anything yet since the fia have said its all legal at ferrari

[mwk360]

di resta said the rain conditions help mercs more, teams that work tyres harder will benefit because of the weather and temperature. ferrari is kinder on tyres according to him

Yeah that's correct. Hopefully Seb can repeat his wet weather heroics like Fuji 2007, Monza 2008, Brazil 2013, Malaysia 2015, Silverstone 2015, USA 2015 etc..

lol i try not to have very high expectations as im usually very upset when it doesnt work out for us, but i hope we the best

That muppet doesn't know that Ferrari is the hardest on tyres among the top 3 teams.

[mwk360]

on the radar there are thunderstorms that will be around the track that could hit anytime during quali

Yeah just watched on sky. Nobody knows how ferrari are generating extra power out of the corners.

thats not a good thing though, But seb ran a nice chunk on mediums for a long time so i honestly dont think Ferrari is very hard on tyres compared to mercs, i feel only slightly kinder

That makes me very happy less time for rest to steal our ideas into there's for next year

[mwk360]

Apparently FIA have put in another new sensor to test ferrari after yesterday, but still checking if they meant after monaco or was it after yesterday, mercs were stumped and cant explain the power

Their hate makes us stronger.

[mwk360]

started drizzling light rain again

[mwk360]

Yup, anything and everything they can do to give the advantage back to mercs, but im just trying to get info if the new sensor was after monaco or after FP2, Wolff and co were making lots of noise in the paddock about the power advantage , almost 0.3s combined through acceleration and straights

[mizf1]

How many times do they have to declare the car legal?

Ferrari should wipe the shock on their faces with another magical improvement with Spec 3 engine.
