Hoping we can get some dry running in FP2 and prove that we still have some pace after all the allegations being made about our engine, presumably Charles has to use this new ICE for the whole weekend, not sure if they use the race engine in FP sessions. FP1 times are probably not indicative of where anyone really stands.

**Ferrarichamp** · 15th November 2019, 16:56

I'm sure you're right wisepie, FP1 probably irrelevant to some degree.
Although it would be pretty funny if Albon won the race

Looking quite good. Leclerc is now on traffic (behind Norris).

Lovely FP2 for Honda engines.

Thanks!!!
I only managed to see that Ves did a 1:13:1 on mediums in his 1st lap with new tires and lighter,while Lec earlier with some laps on the tires and heavier ,he had done 1:13:3 .
So yes that looks promising.
But the commentators in my country's tv said in one time that Merc drivers where doing sub 1:13s while Ferrari drivers where doing 1:13+!!!°��

**PURE PASSION** · 15th November 2019, 18:43

Well this seems once again that Merc have the upper hand especially to tire degradation!!!

**SilverSpeed** · 15th November 2019, 19:33

So no 2020 engine spec for Charles.

And also

**paolo lalli** · 15th November 2019, 19:47

It's just chasis related and load balance .Ferrari will rectify this for 2020 work has been going on at the factory.Engine wise a master stroke.Next years engine is even more powerful then this one.No need to use 2020 parts the power side of things is under control.

**nani_s23** · 15th November 2019, 20:31

When max spun almost hit the barrier in FP1...that huge cheer from the crowd says it all

**paolo lalli** · 15th November 2019, 20:48

The butler botas can stop now that thick head .His butler tactics almost caused collisions with Hamilton and vetal.Some tell the butler the championship has been decided and guess what the bone head did not win.

F1.com says Mercedes fastest, Red Bull 2 tenths a lap slower, Ferrari 4 tenths slower than Mercedes.

Is Merc moving to F-E ?

**wisepie** · 16th November 2019, 07:59

Horner is still banging on at Interlagos about the technical directives against our engine, our pace in FP2 seems to have returned so let's pray that all this questioning over our legality is not going to backfire on Ferrari. We'll no doubt have a clearer picture after quali, even though Charles will suffer wherever he qualifies.

**Ferrarichamp** · 16th November 2019, 08:32

Horner bitter again? must be a midlife crisis

**wappad** · 16th November 2019, 08:59

According to Horner Verstappen words after Austin have been taken out of context due to translated from Dutch into German and finally into English

I quote Verstappen from Dutch tv after Jack Plooys remark that Red Bull was much nearer to the Mercs and Ferrari suddenly hadn't been there:
'Ja, maar dat is als je stopt met vals spelen natuurlijk' ('Yes,but that is when you stop playing false of course')

Quote closed

So I'm pretty sure Horner doesn't understand Dutch..

Can't wait for the Quali to start. Forza Ferrari

I speak next to no Dutch but I can read it fairly well since I'm a trilingual Swedish-German-English speaker so can attack each word from three angles. No ambiguity over what he said there. "vals spelen" = "falsche spielen" in German, "falskt spel" in Swedish = foul play in English. Comical attempts from Horner to deflect from that.
