I'll be happy if there is no incident between our two drivers and at least gaining a few points. Hope that's not too much to wish for.......

For the younger ones here to learn how bad it was and can be...
Will we see the same thing in F1 tomorrow during the podium finish??

It's not how start but how you finish.
[QUOTE=jgonzalesm6;1027777]Will we see the same thing in F1 tomorrow during the podium
Just checked the speed trap data and the trophy table is above Ferrari powered teams.
As sad as it is, we probably need to leave F1 to save the brand as this is showing that we haven't got a clue. Be funny to see the viewing figures without us though, and prize money

Good point the Ferrari brand is now under the spotlite for all of the wrong reasons. Basically Ferrari do not have a car for this season they can put on all the crap parts they want it will fail you need horse power and all Ferrari have is a prancing donkey.
Shwartzman, is he part of our FDA ?? Amazing drive.
Alfa or haas need to grab him ASAP. Next gen star in the making
Binotto: "We worked very hard to bring updates to the car earlier than planned, but they didnt show their worth on track.
We have to work out why and change this state of affairs, which is just not good enough for a team by the name of Ferrari."
"We mustn't get het up about it, but we cannot ignore the facts."
"In two qualifying sessions, albeit in different conditions, we have not been competitive, not only against those who have been our closets rivals over the past few years, but also against others, who up to yesterday were generally behind us."
Ferrari mentioned competing in IndyCar, in order to keep their staff and use the rest of their budget due to the budget cap, which will probably include producing an engine and chasis for the sport.
If Ferrari did leave, then F1 is finished for me, I will switch to IndyCar.
F1 would probably be finished too, unless Ferrari and other teams created a rival championship, as they have threatened to do in the past. In hindsight, they should have.
ORF: Niki Lauda has often said that in his time at Ferrari, even if you are a world champion, you can find yourself in merciless situation there. Now that you are leaving, do you feel like you are getting pushed out?
Vettel: "No. In all fairness no."
"It would help me if Niki was still around so I could ask him. He always said what he thought. I still believe that there is no bad intent on the team side. I believe that everything I have received from team over the past years, I want to give that back. That is my goal"
The deadline [of the decision of his future]?
Vettel: "Would be good to know before the start of the new season [laughs]."
Binotto: "We worked very hard to bring updates to the car earlier than planned, but they didn’t show their worth on track.
We have to work out why and change this state of affairs, which is just not good enough for a team by the name of Ferrari."
Politically, in terms of dealing with the other teams and FIA, Ferrari seems to be lacking.
I don’t know how they can’t understand a car they worked on for at least a year?! Always the same issues, always the same excuses. I haven’t been this depressed in years. I was more optimistic in 1996. 2005 is close to this year as far as expectations go. I doubt we’ll win anything this year.

Ferrari went 19yrs without winning. From 1980 to 1999.
Enzo died in 1988.
Then in 2000, Schumacher along with the Benetton team moved over to Ferrari.
It's not how start but how you finish.
2017: Start the new formula with a car that got most downforce but an average engine
2018: Car with good downforce and the best engine
2019: Change of direction/concept, the best engine but average downforce
2020: Bad engine and average downforce
I can't believe how can they goof up so much under stable regulation. And now the some old excuses popping up once again, "the aero didn't match our expectations, correlation problems etc etc"
They don't have problems with funding or resources, but lack the right personnel to guide them around. Start hiring from outside again, Mercedes and Red Bull have their people under iron contract, but I'm sure there are talented people out there in Tracing point, Mclaren and Renault who would be more than willing to work for Ferrari.
It's time to clean the house properly. Stop promoting under qualified internal names and start hiring proper talent. Look where Mclaren is right now under James Key's guidance. Enough with the "Spaghetti Culture".
i beg the differ....we ONLY had the best engine because we "cheated"....tricked the sensors and used more fuel in Quali to get pole.....in races we were average at best....due to lack of downforce we couldn't work the tires to their optimum, sliding across the asphalt and wearing them prematurely....
in my opinion, that what sums up the 2019 season....
and now 2020....well we're prolly no better then we were in 2014....weak engine and weak chassis
Ferrari's last Constructors Championship was 2008, so it's now a 12 year drought, 13 if we include the Drivers Championship.
