    This is what was missing with Arrivabene. Guess I spelt his name wrong.
    Red is the only color!!!

    Hopefully Ferrari make a wiser choice with tyre choices this season.

    I remember last year, Vettel and Kimi should pretty much take the same tyre allocation. Sometimes Ferrari should go extreme with the tyre selection and take the softest rubber.

    Come race day, the softest was not the best tyre for the race but the other ones which we lacked

    Good point, but presumably the 'simpler' tyre compounds for 2019 shouldn't have quite such a positive or negative effect and I think we need to be less extreme.

    You almost spelled right....it’s actually spelled Arrivederci
    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.

    Confirmed for Melbourne. Point for the fastest lap only if you finish in the top ten.
    Our strategies better be on point in 2019.

    I don't like this idea at all, just another gimmick and I wouldn't want it for pole either, although it would be more deserving. Having said that, in 2008 with a point for fastest lap in the race, Felipe Massa would have been WDC over HAM!

    Don't like the fastest lap idea at all. Makes no sense. Whats next ? A point for the highest number of overtakes? laps lead ?
    Really hope it doesn't get final approval.

    Point for fastest lap will help the driver in 6th position the most. As top 3 teams are in a class of their own so the slowest among them will be ahead by more than a pit stop time so can pit one lap before the penultimate lap and go for fastest lap so drivers in front can't respond.

    F1 used to do this back in the 50's....fyi. So in this instance, they brought it back.

    Doesn't mean they have to bring it back.

    It also would have depended on the fastest lap point distribution throughout the entire season, but still a good point.


    Disappointed Since 2010

    I get that, but it goes to show how it could affect the outcome of the championship. Felipe was always my 2008 WDC anyway!

    Hi guys. Sky is not going to show formula 1 in New Zealand. Any good streams for all practice qualifying and the races to work on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Thanks
