2021 Grand Prix of Qatar - Practice & Qualifying

[nani_s23]

Investigation against Verstappen for ignoring double yellow flaps. He has to show up with the stewards.

In general such cases will lead to 3 or 5 place grid penalty. Let’s see what stewards say.

P7, no excuses, that is for real, even Perez missing there, so P8, strange that true tifosis are satisfied with Ferrari performance, I guess they are not tifosis after all, I dont know, how could ANYBODY DEFEND so bad results.

[Tifoso Svedese]

Yeah give Charles everything new so he can really use a flat-out mode for the final two races of the season. It was quite obvious that something was broken otherwise he wouldn't be a long way off Sainz on a faster tyre.

Carlos did a solid job and will probably fight for P5 tomorrow.

Hopefully no penalty for Verstappen and he nails the start. Otherwise a very long boring parade from the cheating trash team.

[Liscia]

Not really disappointed as I wasn't expecting much on this rinky-dink circuit under lights no less:( Hopefully Charles improves and Carlos does even better in the race and they can gain/don't lose any points to McLaren. Probably won't watch race live (or at all-will DVR just in case) as outcome doesn't much matter me but would just prefer VER over HAM.

This season is going to go down to the wire the swing is firmly with mercedes now,could it all be slipping away for max.?As for ferrari aiming for the best of the rest is achievable but its light and day to the top 2 teams,much work needs to be done for the new season.Binotto is on his last chance token,failure will ultimately see him fall on his sword.I suspect that his termination will be early in the 2022 season if the ferrari does not fire.For binotto there is no where to hide.

[PURE PASSION]

I'm wondering that since Max ,Bottas and Sainz where summoned to the stuarts for not slowing down, why not NORRIS????!!!! He was the only one except Max to better his time and pass Sainz !!!!!

[tpe]

Interesting point!

Technical glitches regarding the double waved yellows on several drivers. I doubt anything happens regarding the grid place penalty to any of them.

Well...... seems I owe Charles an apology for critisizing his performance. Nobody can drive a good qualy with a broken chassis, not even Charles Leclerc.

[20000rpm]

But how did he end up with a broken chassis in the first place?
Did he hit the kerb hard enough to damage it?

[KimiBot]

Sky even compare Carlos and Perez and did show that Carlos drove like a maniac, took everything out of the car and P7.
2022 is not going to change anything, other than Binotto is "focusing 2025 car". Hard times. 3 more years this same, prepare for that guys.

[paolo lalli]

No way I will walk away and never look back if that were to happen,I would totally delete f1 from my life and ferrari with it.

[DIEK]

@Charles_Leclerc
abbassa la testa nell'abitacolo per ridurre il Drag, è tanta roba!! Go Charles

You take this and last year and make conclusions about next year ????!!!!!!!! Why some of you try to delete EVERYTHING just to feel better. I just want to ask you this:1st of all its not something so important in our life,it's not like someones life depends on it, we are not in a court and nobody has done any crime. BUT we are I this Ferrari forum ,you have no faith in this team (because there are some years in this state etcetc, I've heard it many times),you are bashing the team, the boss ,the mechanics, the drivers ALL of them and you say that we are nothing and we will do nothing next year!!!RIGHT???!! SO what will happen if we actually turn out to be quite competitive next year and fighting on pure pace for wins and the championship. What will YOU do then??? You will just say a "I was wrong " and start celebrating with all of us.Of course you are not the only one. There are a lot of people like your kind of thinking I have friends like you and we are arguing all due time.Its just for me this is just one small injustices of our life and our community. Of course nobody can demand any kind of "punishment" from you and the others for a little thing like this. Just saying.....!!!!!

[KimiBot]

Marchionne did kick out Arrivabene, when Ferrari ended second place, could not beat Mercs. You think he would not not do anything, when Ferrari has had this 3 years misery. He was a real boss.

"you are bashing the team, the boss ,the mechanics, the drivers ALL of them"....what are you talking about, never said anything bad about drivers, mechanics, the team, only Binotto, just look that you dont put words in to my mouth. We do have this "only one real and true Tifosi" here, who is bashing drivers, like Seb and Kimi, maybe you thought about him.

Because I cantankerous don't want to start searching all your posts, I will except that you only bash Binotto. 1st of all ,are you familiar of how an F1 team is working and how it can be actually deliver results??? I don't understand how fans from all sports are talking about something that actually have completely NO idea how it works!!!! I remember a lot of guys where saying the same things about Arriva back then and they also where wrong!!! There are A LOT of circumstances that affect a team to end deliver good results
And to end up this discussion, since Binotto himself has put a deadline in 2022 to deliver a race/championship winning car ,we simply have to accept and respect that as fans!! IF he doesn't deliver next year and end up more or less like what we have seeing in the last decade, THEN I agree that he failed and we must try something new!!!!

I think @kimibot mentioned & referring to same point from his earlier posts.

Not exactly. He has come to this conclusion FROM NOW!!!!!

[nani_s23]

3 place grid penalty for Bottas
5 place grid penalty for Max

[PURE PASSION]

So expecting 3place for Sainz also ???!!!!

[elnano14]

3 place grid penalty for Sainz as well
Edited: Nope lmao haha

[Redfive]

5 place drop for Max, Congrats on being gifted title 8 goldenboy. My gods, social media is going to be unbearable for the next few months.

[elnano14]

Sainz lifted so he won't get a penalty

[PURE PASSION]

And I ask again. How come Norris dimt called at all since he he also improve his time in the 2nd run .He also finish after Gaslys incident?????!!!!

[stefa]

Discousting!!!!

[Lesky]

Lucky Lewis strikes again, a random puncture on the last Q lap now handing him a race win on a plate + the title. I am done with this nonsense. Criminally lucky yet again, has not won the title on merit, but on luck, nothing more to say.

[elnano14]

No yellow flag being waved by the time he came at the finish line

[tifosi1993]

The right decision.

Just because you're involved in a championship fight, doesn't mean you're above all the rules and regulations. Verstappen already got away in Brazil, he can't always expect to get "no-penalty" verdict.

Maybe Max should stop acting like a fool and act like a championship contender. He already lost a pole in Mexico 2019 due to the yellow flag infringement. He should've learned his lesson then.

[nani_s23]

No further action for Carlos Sainz. No penalty

Can you please reword that, using the R word is DEEPLY offensive.
