    Imagine Russell finished 17th behind his team mate no less, and Bottas on the podium in 3rd. Quali is where it counts!

    Yes. It's already confirmed for Bottas. Multi-year deal.

    Good for him, at least he won’t play second fiddle to anyone anymore....he won’t be wining races in an Alfa, but at least he’ll have fun

    After the way he was treated, he should.

    But it doesn't matter anyway because Red Bull got what they wanted and the freeze was moved forward.

    Much as I dislike Hamilton, I'm getting pretty fed up with the adulation being heaped on RUS, so Merc are welcome to both of them!

    That was a painful race to watch. Are we getting the engine upgrade in Monza or we going to get eaten alive by Honda and Mercs??

    As I said there is a nice flow to the track but it's WAAAAAY too narrow engendering a processional race - unfortunate:(
    Congratulations to Ver for the win - as I'd hoped, anybody but Ham! Our guys did well in collecting some valuable points to get
    us ahead of McLaren into 3rd where we will hopefully stay though Monza'll be a tough one unless our hopes/thirst for more power
    materializes.

    From my understanding Ferrari said it will be after Monza....but maybe us fans will get a nice surprise this weekend....although I’m not banking anything on it

    Ferrari usually makes a special effort for Monza so I hope they DO surprise us - fingers crossed!

    I think they'll run the engine a bit harder as standard setting at Monza because if goes pop no-one cares and if it works that's potentially a top six considering how good the car will be in the chicanes at that place. Charles wasn't too far off Q3 there last year with a lot worse engine than this time.

    both.

    Even if/when Ferrari introduce their new engine they will still get eaten alive by Honda and Merc.

    Yeah, but not as bad of a blood bath....supposedly it’s a 20 hp upgrade....in F1 terms that is quite significant

    the problem is "supposedly" coupled with the many broken promises of the past.

    We are getting it at Turkish GP. That's the timeline given by Binotto. Can't recall gbe source, maybe Google can help.

    If we were to get the new engine, 20 HP is not bad considering that we do have a really good aero.
