    As long as we have a great race with overtakes and lead changes I am happy. I prefer Max or Hamilton, but if Vettel wins I can enjoy just as well.

    Ferrari did not have the pace to get pole today. Seb said so himself but you can tell otherwise right....

    But Vettel did not say they didn't have the pace for pole, only they he could have done a little better but not enough. Only says something about Vettel's performance.

    I get the feeling I am not allowed to say anything bad about Vettel and not allowed to say Ferrari has the speed to win or train pole.

    Will try make this easier for you

    Sebastian Vettel #5
    “We could have done a bit better today but probably not enough to really beat our rivals for pole.
    And again Bottas said he could have done better, Lewis said he could have done faster etc etc so why are you saying this only says about Vettel? because you are a troll.

    This is what Vettel said:

    We started off well, but then our competitors had more pace over the single lap in terms of pure performance.

    Ok, then I will show you this message:

    https://twitter.com/deadlinex/status...063874049?s=19

    Have you heard what he said? All I said is that Ferrari has the pace and it is possible Vettel just was not good enough. But it is also possible Mercedes was just faster. Hamilton didn't get the Maximum out of the car, neither did Max and we all know why. Better?

    He mentioned we could have but there is a clause “we know why”. Which means they are lacking something.
    Dragging that equation into these many posts or pages looks funny.

    We don’t have the pace hence couldn’t get the pole that’s it. That’s the end. Get on with the race.

    If he said they could have, doesn't that suggest that Ferrari have the pace. And saying they know why suggest that something wend wrong. And that could be either a mistake from Vettel, Traffic, wrong setup, Ferrari doing something wrong.
    I couldn't care less if Ferrari is the fastest or the slowest, I was just excited Ferrari has the pace to battle with Mercedes and could have had pole. Just because there is no Ferrari on pole, doesn't mean they don't have the pace.

    Honestly for me qualifying is not that important. 3rd and 4th are just ok. If we have the Bahrain race pace(and no reliability issues) we should be able to beat both Mercedes and finish a nice 1-2. Hope for a clean start and entertaining race.

    It's not how start but how you finish.

    About time you say hello to reality. Mercedes was fastest. Period. Since qualifying, you are posting useless comments which is not supported by anyone on earth.

    You can call it useless comments, but you can't even say what was wrong with my comments.
    But which reality are you talking about? I have seen nothing from you except excuses for Vettel. A lot of people have already said Ferrari is on Mercedes level. Why do you always behave this immaturely?

    Sorry but the sad reality is that we are not on Mercedes pace in this kind of circuits, I will wait for tomorrow, but if we get a win here it will the biggest miracle of this year. And I dont believe in a miracle, sadly, we are lacking some crucial perfomance.

    If Mercedes wins tomorrow its all lost, before it even began. Mercedes has bulletprof reliability, strong pace, great team management. Its very hard to beat them.

    Congratz to Lewis for winning the 6th championship. Bottas has no chance as soon as Lewis finds the sweetspot with setup. It is all over.


    A lap comparison between Seb and Bottas that show our weak areas, slow speed corners and traction zones.

    But still I wont stop believing in our team, drivers.

    Baku is next which is combination of power + twisty second sector which results in a lot of compromises. Ferrari went with more downforce approach last year which cost top speed but paid off in terms of better tyre degradation on Sunday. This time around, the slow corners are creating a lot of issues so will be interesting to see how that qualifying pans out.

    Last year Mercedes was half second off in qualifying but were fast in race. So all is not lost yet.

    I agree. 3 tenths, that is all explained by the party mode advantage. We've been very quick on the medium and hard compound tyres. It'll come down to tyre degredation. And if our's is isn't terrible, we'll pass them on the straights.

    Most teams are slower than last year. Alfa Romeo is 1 second faster, Toro Rosso half a second and Mercedes 7 hundredths of a second quicker. All other teams are slower but the only team losing more time than Ferrari is Williams.

    During race weekend, these tyre pressure changes does hurt few teams car set-up & others gain on it.
    I think RB benefitted, haas & Alfa struggled.

    Ferrari as a team, takes too long to react or understand the weakness or flaw.
    While mercs collectively has more potential to come back harder after a bad weekend or any problem with car.

    During Bahrain test, team said we understood the issue & weakness.
    Now come China, we still don’t understand why are we loosing time in slow corners.
    This is something I don’t get.

    We had the same car in Melbourne where there are slow corners & would have got enough info or data.
    Which should be useful for future races, instead still same question mark again. Why are we slow.
