Seb should call Bottas out on the podium and make fun of him. Sow the seed of discontent for future races.

yeah, and call him a BUTTLER TO HIS FACE......that would be soooooooooooooooooo funny

[stefa]

that is ball crap and WE ALL KNOW IT.....they've done to extend the WDC points

But this is completely normal! That is what Ferrari should have done long time ago!!!

[mwk360]

This is just painful to watch

i think it softens the blow a little, knowing team and drivers did everything, car is not good enough, but yeah i wonder why we went backwards

[chinmay]

atleast we did everything we could today, car isnt good enough, simple as that

Aero wasn't good enough since Australia, I have been saying the same thing since forever, it was blatantly clear in Monaco where Mercedes was faster than Ferrari, only engine was allowing Ferrari to put up fight in some races.

[mwk360]

bottas will win they will change last lap

[FerrariF60]

atleast we did everything we could today, car isnt good enough, simple as that

yup, car is just tooooooooo slow
just like year over year.....we seem to lose the development race after the summer break......this sums up our perfromance every year
we start off fine, hten we fall flat on our faces in the second half of the year

[ALO]

HAM hesitation in engine

i think we are good where we were awful last year, and awful where we were good last year lol, longer wheelbase we havent had time yet to master the twisty DF sections that mercs have taken years to figure out

[IulianFerrari]

The car is to slow. We will be 3rd and 4th or 3rd and 5th

[tifosi1993]

I say we go for another pit stop. Still 20 laps to go and we have 1 fresh ultra softs left and we have nothing to lose.

[FerrariSteve]

HAM hesitation in engine

typical Merc mid-race "fake drama". not falling for it.

[nani_s23]

Vet on softs is faster than mercs cars

[512 TR]

Please, please puncture for Lewis on the last lap.

[FerrariF60]

But this is completely normal! That is what Ferrari should have done long time ago!!!

yeah, we're just tring to by gentleman about it.....yet the Merc's team are jsut a bunch of foxes and playing dirty with they buttler/wing man....GOOD FOR THEM....they remind me of the good old days of Ferrai wiht Ross and Todt.....ABSOLUTELY ROOTHLESS....thats' how you have to be to win championships and Ferrari seem to have lost that LONG, LONG TIME AGO

[nani_s23]

I think it’s better to get into pits n take new US which puts mercs under pressure. After lap 40

And what to gain?!

[mizf1]

So there I am thinking the race starts at 13:10. Turn the tv on at 12:50 and 26 laps done with Max in the lead.

Seb will lose position to Max my friend. Unfortunately we are stuck...

sorry m8, missed nothing much, max going to storm us towards the end, mercs played team orders to put ham ahead and to protect him

[FerrariF60]

we're too slow mate......it wont' make a difference.....if we had a fast pace in the race then yeah it would make sense....but we're too SLOW

[Scuderia85]

[Christopher]

We have the 3rd fastest car at this race Max is a real threat for the podium

[stefa]

3rd place, not that it will matter

[IulianFerrari]

Those softs are endless

[FerrariF60]

We have the 3rd fastest car at this race Max is a real threat for the podium

yup.....he'll be on fresh tires once he pits adn we'll be on old tires......so he can easily snatch P3 from us
