Brazilian GP 2013 - Race Thread

[Katu]

Last race already

[Ste]

I think we can say with a fair bit of certainty now that Smedley is leaving Ferrari. He was having pictures with individual mechanics.

[Aussie]

Will miss mark webber

[gjoko-mkd]

What`s the weather now in Brazil? Rain or not?

[SinanOzerS]

What`s the weather now in Brazil? Rain or not?

Cloudy.

[Hornet]

Time flies... one moment we were watching the F138 reveal, now we're in our last race. Time to say goodbye to Massa and V8 engine. :-(

Lets hope for an exciting race today

[Aussie]

Won't miss the v8 still miss the v10

[Aussie]

Allen: "So Mark, any advice for Dan against Seb next year?"
Webber: "Kick his !"



Classic

[gjoko-mkd]

dry tyres on the cars

[FA fan]

Farewell felipe,hope you do well in your last race with us...

[stefa]

Won't miss the v8 still miss the v10

:clap

I am disappointed that it is not raining today....

[Kristof_F40]

I am disappointed that it is not raining today....

Hopefully it will start raining at the right moment.. Start will be important.. First stint will be coplicated due to the "unknown"

[Kyss4k]

Team applauding Felipe as he went out of the pits. Beautiful and so sad.

[Rishu]

Great gesture from Ferrari mechanics, gaurd of honour as he comes out of garage.

[NickEice]

They are saying rain half way through the race. What do you guys think about starting on hard tires and going as far as we can? This way we can bypass potentially 2 stops in quick succession. Tricky because no one knows how long the slicks will go.

[Kristof_F40]

Man, I'm gonna miss Felipe, and I think everyone of us will.. What a hard descision it must have been for the team...

[Hornet]

Anyone knows what is the chances of rain during race?

[Rishu]

Bye bye V8s,
Bye bye Mark
Both will be missed

[SinanOzerS]

Anyone knows what is the chances of rain during race?

Fifty percent.

[Kristof_F40]

Starting on hard is good, because it gives us more room for the first stop so in case there is rain perhaps we benefit.. But, we don't know when it's gonna rain so if we loose time, do we stay out or not.. Also, keep in mind that we have no clue about the tyres, perhaps medium lasts good, perhaps not.. I think we should start on slick, aggressive approach.. This will put us in a position to race in the first stint, if everyone around us has med and we hard, it'll be dfficult and we need rain. If we start on medium we can race and the we'll see..

Which was immediately misinterpreted as 'bitter' by Ms. Perry :roll, although DC seemed to understand what he was trying to say.

Anyway, have a great race all and here's hoping thebteam finishes the seaon in 2nd place.

Forza Ferrari :ferrarifl:ferrarifl:ferrarifl

[gjoko-mkd]

If will be rain later at the race,staring with the hard will be disaster

[Kristof_F40]

Perhaps we can try hard on Felipe, but I think medium is the way t go.. We have no clue about the time difference, no clue about degradation, no clue when or if rain will come.. So to count on the rain is to risky..

I know. Jordan just reiterated it. No bitterness. Just the fact that the red fools car is untouchable. My gran could put that on pole and she's been dead 10 years.

Very true. So many risks and variables. I don't envy the engineers today! But if we want a chance at a good position I think we have to take a strategy different than the Bulls. We can't hang with them on the same strategy.

Should be a great race today regardless. So many goodbyes but hopefully next year brings even better hellos!

[Katu]

i'm gonna mis mark very very much

[stefa]

How time flies.... It is all ready 24th of November!?!?

[tifosi1993]

Good luck Felipe, hope you have a fantastic final race for Ferrari. :ferrarifl

[Hornet]

@radarguruf1 1m
#F1 radar update 13:45 BRST: Shower development now beginning across southern Sao Paulo. Not definitive, but rain looking likely mid-race.

[Aussie]

Same. I hope dan kicks Serbs butt

No, I don't think so, we need to attac so we need mediums to attack from the start, the start is our strenght.. If it's dry Seb is much faster but if we can manage to take him on the start he still needs to pass.. if we start on the harder compound, we have no chance and we will get stuck in traffic perhaps.. For strategy we will have to follow the forecast, an dmake the best out of it.. remember Malaysia 2012.. To try something different, I don't know, on the same strategy in a normla race we can't fight bulls, but I don't think we can on a different.. So we need an abnormal race.. Full attack and we'll see where we are..

[Fer138]

Good luck to our boys!

Now they are saying its 60% chance of rain during the race. Hope it works well for our team!

[ManFromMilan]

Here is hoping for a great last race in 2013.

Forza Ferrari

[Hornet]

One thing about Massa, we can see him taking pictures with his family as if it's his last F1 race. He really treasure his Ferrari seat. It's like an end of F1 for him although it isn't.

[fratelliferrari]

:ferrarifl Forza Felipe for your last race with the Scuderia :-(

[stefa]

Good luck to our boys!

Now they are saying its 60% chance of rain during the race. Hope it works well for our team!

Just hear the same at SKY Germany

[andone89]

Fernando approaching Mark and giving him a big hug, nice! Will miss Mark too.

[Hornet]

Best of luck to our drivers and Ferrari :thumb

Lets enjoy the final race of 2013

[M.K]

Sad feeling before race, last one for Felipes at Ferrari, last race for V8, last Webbers race at F1 (still remember his first one like yesterday).

Forza Ferrari! All luck for Webber!

[Kyss4k]

Tense!

[paneristi]

both boys are doing quite good!

[Kyss4k]

First engine out

[fratelliferrari]

Grosjean out

[SinanOzerS]

That should be a safety car.

[Kyss4k]

Alonso 2nd! Felipe 6th! What a race!

[tifosi1993]

P2 and P6

[wacc]

Fernando 2nd and overtook Rosberg without DRS.

[Kyss4k]

Looks like Ferrari guys nailed the dry setup.

[Aussie]

Hamilton burning tyres.
He always does

[bonzo]

Vettel is sooo quick!
There must be something irregular in his car. Why is Mark not so quick?

[Rishu]

Great chance of challenging for P2 in WCC

[paneristi]

[bonzo]

Felipe, babe, do it!!

[stefa]

we need rain. FAST!

[stefa]

Vettel is sooo quick!
There must be something irregular in his car. Why is Mark not so quick?

How says he is not?! Look at LT!

[bonzo]

Vet 8 minutes lead in 10 laps, by end of race he will lap most of the cars:-D

[SinanOzerS]

There's no chance for holding up Webber.They're so fast again.

[Aussie]

Rain dance

[SinanOzerS]

As expected...

[stefa]

We are no match to RB :-(

[Kyss4k]

Red Bull has car from Krypton or somethin...

[Senna4Ever]

We are no match to RB :-(

Surprise?
I much more surprise about where we are ...

[stefa]

It seams that FA tires are OVER!

[bonzo]

Seems like Button has the better strategy, already 7th on hards!

[fratelliferrari]

Well done Felipe

[stefa]

Surprise?

No, not at all. I've just dared to hope!

Hard compounds looking like a much better than mediums, again.

[stefa]

Vettel front right tire gone?

And he still manages to fly!

[SinanOzerS]

Massa is in the pit.

[fratelliferrari]

Felipe pits

[paneristi]

[wacc]

Bad pit stop for Webber, a way to say good bye :-!

[Kyss4k]

YEAH!

[fratelliferrari]

Bad pit stop for Webber, a way to say good bye :-!

Typical Red Bull behaviour towards Webber

[wacc]

Fernando on hards, Webber on medium, Felipe on medium, Hamilton hards

[paneristi]

RBR really has extremely fast machines

[SinanOzerS]

MY GOD, WHY !!!

[bonzo]

As nando on hards we do not need rain now

[tifosi1993]

As nando on hards we do not need rain now

[SinanOzerS]

[Kyss4k]

In his home race and final race for Ferrari...

[rico]

Massa just screwed us... GREAT

[Ste]

Massa just screwed us... GREAT

Damn, there goes the Constructors. :( Not that it wasn't gone already.

[stefa]

Too hard. but it was his mistake....:-(

[fratelliferrari]

Bieber wouldn't have got a penalty if he did the same

[paneristi]

drizzling it is

[SinanOzerS]

Calm down mate, calm down.

[fratelliferrari]

Well said Felipe, indeed unbelievable

[Rishu]

Oh Massa is angry

[Ste]

I think Massa may be a little annoyed.

[wacc]

Felipe going to be black flaged :-D

[Senna4Ever]

These stewarts are a kind of :furious

[Jas]

I want massa to carry on and protest haha

[stefa]

Maybe his anger will be a boost :-)

[Jas]

stewards...incapable of interpretation and adabtability

[ferrari1.8t]

I'm calling fixed results again. rubbish penalty, that was done just to make sure we don't take second in the constructors. And yet again RB screw webber, not even on his last race can they help him out. They knew he was racey and would give bieber trouble. Pure rubbish

[fratelliferrari]

These stewarts are a kind of :furious

Yes totally agree

[tifosi1993]

******* FIA :furious

[bonzo]

WCC second was gone a week ago

[Senna4Ever]

Bieber wouldn't have got a penalty if he did the same

:thumb

If I was him ... everytime I would pass these warm brothers I would show them one finger until the end ...

[Kyss4k]

And it looked so good.

[Rob]

surely give felipe penalty for that then there must be more as al drivers do that.:furious

[Ste]

Pretty sure Massa crossed the line again...

[Nova]

looks like the fia placed some clams on the wcc....

[Jas]

I would so have protested and seen how high up I could have gone without it lol!

[Aussie]

Pretty sure Massa crossed the line again...

I saw that as well

[Ste]

Hope they penalise everyone else doing it. Button, Bottas...

[rico]

The stewards had clarified this before the race. No FIA conspiracies here. Clearly a mistake from Massa. I don't think he did it just once...

[bonzo]

I think Massa may be a little annoyed.

*****/ of is the right expression

[stefa]

Maybe his anger will be a boost :-)

Apparently not!

[fratelliferrari]

FIA doesn't like Felipe, and I ******* hate FIA :furious

[wacc]

Felipe is now very slow. Faded out already.

EDIT: the next lap was not so bad, maybe traffic in previous lap.

[stefa]

The stewards had clarified this before the race. No FIA conspiracies here. Clearly a mistake from Massa. I don't think he did it just once...

As usual conspiracy theories over and over again

[bonzo]

Button crossed too

[F2008]

British race steward so not surprised.

[stefa]

and now to boring part......:-ZZ

[DIEK]

Rain is coming...

[Kyss4k]

How did Mark got warning and Massa penalty?

[Ste]

British race steward so not surprised.

Alex Ribiero actually...a Brazillian.

[F2008]

Alex Ribiero actually...a Brazillian.

Blundell?

[ferrari1.8t]

RB team radio to Webber "we won't get anymore warnings, dont cross the white line anymore"

It's nice that RB get warned while Ferrari gets a penalty straight away. Meh

[Rob]

How did Mark got warning and Massa penalty?

was warned couple times.

[Jose-Lorca Fan]

Ferrari were warned. Stop with the theories it's embarrassing.

[Kyss4k]

was warned couple times.

Really? I don't believe that. And if he was, he has to be dumb or something... no way.

[Ste]

How did Mark got warning and Massa penalty?

Massa had warnings too.

[Ste]

Blundell?

Pulled out.

[DIEK]

Hard tyres of Alon don't work o are keeping for later?

[Jose-Lorca Fan]

Might rain soon so better not to pit.

[stefa]

How did Mark got warning and Massa penalty?

we don't know if FM got warning

[Nova]

Box for But/Massa

[SinanOzerS]

HAHAHAHA SUTIL !

[Rob]

we don't know if FM got warning

all drivers were warned in driver briefing.

[Kyss4k]

Looks like we are eating the tyres rather quickly.

[fratelliferrari]

Well done Felipe

[stefa]

all drivers were warned in driver briefing.

As I said, he probably was. No place for conspiracy theories

[fratelliferrari]

Wow what happened to Bottas?

[Kyss4k]

Williams did it again...

[Kyss4k]

Lewis ka-boom

[wacc]

Hamiltons tyre exploded

[Kyss4k]

Vettel bad pit!

[fratelliferrari]

What is Red Bull doing?

[SinanOzerS]

[fratelliferrari]

Williams did it again...

Yes indeed 3rd I guess already?

[Nova]

[Rob]

[Jas]

if we miss out on WCC now cos of massas penalty I will be ....what the hell is happening....double pitting?!?!

[stefa]

Yes indeed 3rd I guess already?

It was a contact with LH

[wacc]

That accident should be investigated

[Rob]

[bonzo]

Anyone to calculate WCC chances now?

[Jas]

[Jas]

[SinanOzerS]

I can't understand why Fernando is fitted the medium tyres.

[M.K]

[Jas]

[Jas]

Come on Alonso, this is when you sure how great u are

[Jas]

Hamilton drive thriugh

[fratelliferrari]

Drive through for Hamilton :lol

[wacc]

Ham drive through.

[M.K]

There You go....

[Nathan]

Can't help but think "if only Massa..."

Oh well, what goes around comes around. You could say Lewis pretty much neutralized the drive through.

[SinanOzerS]

We're still can't take this second place.

[Rishu]

We need Alonso to beat Webber & Perez to beat Rosberg

[Kyss4k]

Felipe needs to take Perez and Rosberg.

[M.K]

Can't believe I said that....Go McLaren!

[wacc]

a lot of drops of rain on Hamiltons camera at Senna S

[SinanOzerS]

There's still only a drops...

[tifosi1993]

[Rob]

[Nova]

[Kyss4k]

This should have been an easy 3. - 4. :-s

[fratelliferrari]

Maldonado spins

[fratelliferrari]

This should have been an easy 3. - 4. :-s

Just say, thank you FIA for ruining that :furious

[stefa]

Just say, thank you FIA for ruining that :furious

Be objective, it was not FIA mistake

[stefa]

[fratelliferrari]

It was Felipe got a penalty and Mark only a warning that's not fair

[stefa]

It was Felipe got a penalty and Mark only a warning that's not fair

again, we don't know if FM got warning before making same mistake again and got penalty

[wacc]

They had been warned. Just take that.

Smedley,"OK, we have another message, don't cross the white line at pit entry with all 4 wheels, we have another message"

[rico]

That was emotional. Farewell Mark.

[Rishu]

Grazie Felipe!!!!!!!

[REDARMYSOJA]

Am I the only one who saw Vettel put four tires over the pit entry line on the last lap?

[wacc]

No matter what, thank you Felipe :ferrarifl

Fernando, you were the only hope for us Ferrari fans this season. :ferrarifl

And do not know why is Vettel so yeeeeh after this win. He did not set a record, so what is the point.

[Nova]

Bye Mark, and bye Felipe too.
Good comeback for Ferrari.

[Bonjers]

A nice podium to finish.

Good luck Felipe. Lovely touch at the end.

Fernando flanking Mark into parc ferme too.

[Nova]

They will say he beat Ascari's record I think, but to me he didnt..They only raced like 6 to 8 races per season in those days...

[bonzo]

[Kyss4k]

I am angry at Felipe for that dumb mistake, but still, thank you for everything. Mostly for 2008, which was the most emotional year of F1 I was able to watch, and good luck at your new home!

[Corey]

Vettel needs to shave badly :-D

[fratelliferrari]

Even if he did, what stewards can do about is?

Time penalty offcourse! Than Mark is the winner of the race

[Ste]

Am I the only one who saw Vettel put four tires over the pit entry line on the last lap?

He did but the other drivers had multiple warnings about it so presuming it was the first time he did it, no action will be taking. Nor should there be - they've always done that.
