2019 Russian Grand Prix: Free Practices & Qualifying

[Rishu]

Hamilton looks horrible in those glasses lol

[nani_s23]

Great quali. Bravo Charles & vettel.
It should have been P1 & P2, but it’s P1 & P3.
Nonetheless we are in better position tmrw, as Ham starting on Mediums & vettel on Softs better grip also behind Charles.
Turn2 gonna be interesting tmrw.

[tifosi1993]

Another quali, another Charles pole. Seb beaten by Lewis, not too surprised. It shows again who's the real deal and who's not.

I hope no Binotto / Ferrari sabotage for Charles tomorrow.

Yeah...Ferrari out there trying hard to sabotage Charles

Yes I didn't like what happened in Sigapore. It was Charles's win, should have been Charles's win with a normal strategy. But don't come here with the bs that Ferrari deliberately hindered Charles, it's a false narrative and you know it.

Merc forum hohuuummmm boring Ferrari again for 4th in a row????? So What!!!! Merc dominance is starting to end, I hope next year we can develop a perfect car for the whole season and the WDC and WCC.

[Tifoso Svedese]

Yes. Only other to do that for Ferrari is MS

Really? Not Ascari?

Yup next year looking good as of now. Long awaited titles, maranello is waiting for those.

And that hair style, too.

[nani_s23]

WCC still a chance for Ferrari this year ??? If they finish 1-2 in the coming races..??
I don’t know about the points table.!! Can anybody help me out with it?

[SilverSpeed]

Yeah Charles!!!!!

2020 looks good now he boys .

[nani_s23]

Ferrari is in serious competition from 2nd half... wt an upgrade, wt a star driver.
Really I’m happy for Ferrari team. Hope we get WCC.

I think that we need at least 2x double Merc dnf for it to have a chance at it...

Don't think about that!!!
Its 133 points so mathematically we have a chance BUT many things must happen to do it!!!

[nani_s23]

For such thing to happen. Max should intervene in couple of races for P3.

[Ferrarichamp]

Charles needed that win in Bahrain to have a more realistic chance, but we can't change the past.

[SilverSpeed]

Yeah he should banzai in corner 1 again .

Wts was the margin during summer break..??

[tifosi1993]

Yeah Charles!!!!!

2020 looks good now he boys .

Too early to tell. We're having a very strong 2nd half, no doubt about it. But sill, we're up against a team that have been dominant since 2014, and on the verge of winning their 6th consecutive WDC and WCC.

I'm glad that we have Charles now. If next years car turns out to be as good as the 2017/2018 car, then Charles will deliver. Charles has the ability to take the maximum out of a car, like Alonso/Hamilton.

[Christopher]

Wts was the margin during summer break..??

After Hungary

Mercedes 438
Ferrari 288

So since the summer break Mercs lead his been reduced from 150 points to 133.

100% agree apart Ham. Main thing is he’s quick in learning too...!!
I see him similar to MS & Alonso

[nani_s23]

After Hungary

Mercedes 438
Ferrari 288

So since the summer break Mercs lead his been reduced from 150 points to 133.

So we gained 106 in next 3races.vs 89 pts merc. With vettel not finishing in points at Monza.

1st 25
2nd 18
3rd 15
4th 12
5th 10
6th 8
7th 6
8th 4
9th 2
10th 1
Fastest lap 1

so 1-2 is 43 points
3-4 is 27 points
difference is 16 points
6 races left, 6 x 16 is 96
and we are behind 133 points

so no, must happen something else too to win WCC

Bottas is vulnerable...!! Don’t discount max for P3 in the coming races.

[KimiBot]

Yes, it is possible, but 1-2 in every race is not enough if Mercs 3-4 in every race, so we need few races where Mercs lose more points
Possible, but unlikely, that would be a miracle if we won WCC

[Ryder1984]

Hamilton only needs to take 5th place for the next races , including this , and the title's out of reach for both us and RB. His only real worry , if you could even call him that , is Bot. As far as I can see we're out for this year. Also , to anyone harboring hopes for a great car next year , calm down! That way you won't be too disappointed. I know it sounds negative , but we've been the favorites last year and this one too , after testing , and look what happened. What I've learned in my 20+ years as a Ferrari fan is that we have some years when we're unstoppable but most years we screw things up royally.

[PURE PASSION]

AND to all this, who guarantee to you that we will be 1-2 in ALL remaining races???!!! Even just to win all the races is pretty optimistic!!!

[Stormsearcher]

Wow charles!!!! just wow!
Trouncing not just his teammate, but Hamilton as well. Beautiful to watch.
I just hope "strategy" stays in his favour for the race.
I do think Seb will jump hamilton into turn 1. So the 2 ferraris will be gunning for another 1-2.
Lets see what happens. Interesting race.

[nani_s23]

I wonder why mercs aren’t reacting to Ferrari’s resurgence. They given up this season with the buffer they had in the points.??
They might have given a head start for next years car...!!

or do they have an issue with their latest spec engine which they've kept quiet?

[Giallo 550]

This place is pretty quiet, considering Ferrari and Leclerc just took their fourth pole in a row.
