2021 Spanish Grand Prix - Catalunya, May 07 - 09

[Cavallino]

Ugh, F1TV is already gaslighting me and saying that Lewis never had a battle on his hands until their precious Max and Redbull this year. Did they not watch 2017-2018?

Come on guys, enough bickering, let's just concentrate on where we are and hope that our boys can do Ferrari justice this afternoon. Forza ragazzi.

We were talking about PUs. One could argue in 2018/2019 the Ferrari PU was equal to if not exceeding the Merc PU.

Answer me this....IF the PU's in 2018 and 2019 for Ferrari were equal to Mercedes or exceeded Mercedes PU, as you have quoted, WHY then are Ferrari not using that same PU for 2020 and 2021???

Why, for 2021, is the deficit to Mercedes at the end of the race at anywhere from .86sec to a minute depending on the track???

Because we aren't allowed to win lol. Burning extra fuel is illegal. Burning oil is okay. USing wheels as an aerodynamic device to cool your tyres is ok. DAS is okay.

Burning extra fuel is illegal. .

Thank-you......FINALLY!!!!!!.....someone admits it.

Well said. We were gaining momentum with the late Sergio Marchionne and Arrivebene. Now, we seem to be more of a listener than the main speaker. I believe many tifosi are upset because of this (decisions made by the governing body to give advantage to some team). We voice out opinions just in case it can be heard, far from bashing our beloved team.

No, the point is that we're soft. Aren't we the most successful and historic team in F1? Aren't we given veto rights and special payments because we are the most important team in F1? So why are we being subservient to the manipulations of the FIA and other teams? Why are we cowering away into a corner and allowing others to push us into oblivion? Why aren't w using our might and power to assert ourselves as the important team that we are? Why are we silent? Why do Toto and Horner walk and talk like they rule the paddock and our men are like school boys who don't belong? That's the problems. We've allowed them to take away our pride, our reputation and our onscreen time. Next they will take away our veto power and our legacy payment, and then we'll be like any other team on the paddock. THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

[Cavallino]

what's the point. i thought we were past this.

At least someone caught my point

Lando Norris reports small drops of rain that in Turn 4,5,6 but says it‘s very light

People still don’t seem to realize that no other team could get a sniff of Merc during the turbo era. Yes we got close, but let’s be realistic and understand that Merc always have more when needed. We are seeing that again this year with “Red Bull is the team to beat”, yet we all know that’s not the case. This year is mercs to win again.

With regards to Binotto, give him a chance. With the freeze on developments, engines, restrictions etc. his hands have been tied. Only so much that he could have done. Next year is our only chance to start fresh and be competitive from the start. If Binotto fails with the regulation changes then we can talk about replacements. I am optimistic that he has been working behind the scenes quietly to give us a good shot next year.

Forza Ferrari

[JChan]

don't celebrate!!!

[jgonzalesm6]

Way to go Max!!!

[ferrari1.8t]

Nice start from Max and Charles!

[Greig]

Nice job Charles.

[20000rpm]

Max and Charle good starts...
Sainz got down...

[Ferrarichamp]

hopefully Bottas will ruin his tyres.

[JChan]

for 8 laps we are behind by 10 seconds from RB!

[JChan]

What a crap it's SC! helping LH again?

[20000rpm]

Sky commentators are so bloody biased... Always speaking in favour of Mercedes.

[PURE PASSION]

Ooh not SC again!!!
Our nightmare in 3 previous races!!!
We lost places every time!!!

[Greig]

What a crap it's SC! helping LH again?

Why does it help Lewis?

[JChan]

Why does it help Lewis?

LH get close to MV by means of SC! he was behind by 1.5sec already before SC! r u PRO-LH?

[paneristi]

Neturally, as we used to trash their heroes (McL mostly)

Sky commentators are so bloody biased... Always speaking in favour of Mercedes.

[Greig]

LH get close to MV by means of SC! he was behind by 1.5sec already before SC! r u PRO-LH?

But he loses a 8 second gap to Charles? not sure it really helped him at all.

[JChan]

Yes even when we start again CL is no match to LH! CL is good for P3 only if gets lucky! there's BOT at his back with the party mode engine do you think CL can last that position till end?

[JacKy]

Leclerc 0.5sec faster than other cars at sector 3. ( Except ham and vers ) This is why Bottas can't get close to him.

[elnano14]

We're currently faster than both Alpine and McLaren

[Ferrarichamp]

Ham waiting for the undercut i suppose.

[JacKy]

We're currently faster than both Alpine and McLaren

Yeah both Leclerc's and Ocon's running with clean air. Leclerc 0.9 faster than him

[Greig]

Blistering for Lewis
