Some rain showers around but expected to be clear for the race start.

What is planned today, how will they destroy Charles' race
Don’t tell me they won’t, they do it since Spain, without failing

Give the kid the team!

[nani_s23]

Hopefully no drama between our drivers on track today. One of them should attack, other one sit back & protect tyres for late attack.

[nhiepka]

Why dont they hire Flavio to be director race? He is real Italian and very smart, we need this man.

Just because he fails to hide his evil side

Give the kid the team!

[Greig]

Hopefully we get a clean start, much cooler than yesterday which will probably help the tyres.

Any of our experts want to post the winning strategy before the race?

that’s what we have being a tifosi. Which no other team fan base have.

Brake issue for Lewis, team working on it on the grid.

[ntukza]

If it rains we're screwed. If there's a safety car we're screwed. Anything that calls for quick strategic calls and it's game over for us.

Thought your not allowed to make changes to the car on the grid?

[RossTheBoss]

So, how will Ferrari screw the pooch today? Will it be the team? Luck? Dumb driving?

[RossTheBoss]

In the words of Metallica: SAD BUT TRUE!

[Hornet]

How I would want the race to unfold is that Charles quickly pass Max at the start for the lead.
And then Carlos takes P2 say during the pit stop, and then there's sufficient gap between him and Charles that we will not see any insane fight between them, just bring home the 1-2

[Greig]

Cooler temps prob push most to a 1 stop, but we should be alert to Red Bull using Perez on a 2 stop to force us to react.

[RossTheBoss]

Wonder who's going to be a sleeper? Princess, Ichabod Crane, or Perez?

[Greig]

Nobody starting on softs, top 12 on mediums rest on hards.

Split strategies would be wise, but then wise ain't the walls thing right now.

[RossTheBoss]

Hard to imagine Max screwing up today. He's been driving smooth lately.

[Greig]

Hopefully by the time the smoke clears Max is P3

[RossTheBoss]

Always put ones expectations low for Ferrari for starts. Good race pace, but these starts have been a real cluster**** for the team in the past few years.
