Australian GP 2014 Race thread

[stefa]

ROLEX timing is horrible! Not showing gaps line at all, just between two cars

HORRIBLE!!!

[Kyss4k]

One lap too late for Alonso, another error from Kimi. What is going on Ferrari? You've got everything wrong this week. Everything.

[SinanOzerS]

That pit-stop.

[wacc]

Fast pit stops for both drivers

[FerrariF60]

WOW that pit stop for kimi....2.2 SECONDS....AT LEAST SOMETHING IS FAST FOR US

[sachin]

Can we change our engine supplier mid season?

[SinanOzerS]

Can we change our engine supplier mid season?

I hope so !

[FerrariF60]

Can we change our engine supplier mid season?

BIG LOL......

[Uzair Ahmed]

Whistles when some one enters pit lane..thats new for me

[Katu]

it's hard to get used to that every weird sound you hear isn't necessarily a problem

[Kyss4k]

Whistles when some one enters pit lane..thats new for me

Old stuff ;-)

[paneristi]

do we need to rely on other's DNF to gain position? Engine mapping seem to be far from good. Calm down?

[DJTaurus]

bottas and button lap faster than alonso..... all of them on clear air.... soooooo....?

[Greig]

Wow how embarrassing is this thread....the usual suspects out in force.

[giodap]

Whistles when some one enters pit lane..thats new for me

if this is F1 then i am no longer interested. most boring thing ive ever watched. shocking!!:-ZZ

[red power]

Cars are slow and stratergy stinks. I said it last year and I'll say it again Domicelli goodbye.

[stefa]

Toro Rosso is preassuirng us....

[Rob]

Can we change our engine supplier mid season?

Thats not even funny. That as Ferrari is an insult.

[FerrariF60]

do we need to rely on other's DNF to gain position? Engine mapping seem to be far from good. Calm down?

YUP, a bunch of DNF's from teh others is our only HOPE....at least we have somethign to look for..cause surely our performance is NOTHING to write home about..>LOL

[killer]

Good morning, Europe. Good evening, Australia. Arrivederci, Ferrari.

[fronaldo]

Both cars finish on points might be good for now..psst

[FerrariF60]

Toro Rosso is preassuirng us....

yep, we're just sitting ducks now...

[Rob]

Wow how embarrassing is this thread....the usual suspects out in force.

No surprise is it mate. So called tifosi? lol

[sachin]

Looks kimi may even miss out on points
:(

[bondilad]

Are we saving fuel??

[Kyss4k]

Thats not even funny. That as Ferrari is an insult.

It's not funny. It's sad. After all thhose talks about F1 not being about engine and Ferrair is all about engines... this is embarassing.

All cars with the two other engines (except Lotus) are preassuring us. And Sauber and Marrussia are just nowhere.

[wacc]

Kimi and Fernando both had their fastest lap. Kimi slightly faster than Fernando

[FerrariF60]

No surprise is it mate. So called tifosi? lol

pardon me, it's just hard to be cheerfull when we're getting clubbered by ALL other mercedes powered units....LOLOLOLOL

[Rob]

It's not funny. It's sad. After all thhose talks about F1 not being about engine and Ferrair is all about engines... this is embarassing.

Really need to calm down. Its first race. Just be thankful we get double finish. And points for WCC.

[bonzo]

STR driven by rookie is going to overtake Ferrari driven by WDC. Shameful...

[FerrariFanBoii]

Electrical problem for both cars eh.... Excuses already?

[Schumiklub]

Both Ferrari cars have electrical problems

[bondilad]

Electrical problem on both ferraris !!!!

[Katu]

apparently we have electrical problem

[FerrariF60]

Are we saving fuel??

it looks that way....form the beginning of the race.....remember some have said from the testign taht our engine is MORE thursty...so it looks liek it may be that way

[fronaldo]

Heard both cars has mechanical problems..can't push faster..

[Uzair Ahmed]

if this is F1 then i am no longer interested. most boring thing ive ever watched. shocking!!:-ZZ

Reminds me of a corner shop..beeps everytime someone enters

[Ed Harley]

If there is a problem then there is a problem.

[Greig]

pardon me, it's just hard to be cheerfull when we're getting clubbered by ALL other mercedes powered units....LOLOLOLOL

Go support Merc then, and stop embarrassing yourself.

[Katu]

Electrical problem for both cars eh.... Excuses already?

look at vettel and hamilton, didn't even manage 10 laps, they should look for excuses

[bonzo]

Really need to calm down. Its first race. Just be thankful we get double finish. And points for WCC.
Oh Stefano, you are on the thread!

[rico]

lol. bring on the tifosi-meter. Rob is gonna measure us.

[Greig]

Electrical problem for both cars eh.... Excuses already?

Not the brightest are you.

[DJTaurus]

look after everything...... TROLOLOL

[Kyss4k]

Really need to calm down. Its first race. Just be thankful we get double finish. And points for WCC.

Double finish and points... Are we Williams? Oh wait.

[killer]

Kravitz reports electrical problems on both cars; both down on power.

[wacc]

STR driven by rookie is going to overtake Ferrari driven by WDC. Shameful...

He is on a faster tyre, mate ;-)

[SinanOzerS]

Get out of there Stefano.

[FerrariF60]

Go support Merc then, and stop embarrassing yourself.

the truth really hurting you MATE, dont' it???
i'm trying to support, but it's really hard when we....well are much slower then the others at building FAST and reliavle cars

[Greig]

Double finish and points... Are we Williams? Oh wait.

I guess you supported us just cause we were winning.

[Katu]

rather have 2 car finish with electrical problems than one with DNF

[Greig]

the truth really hurting you MATE, dont' it???
i'm trying to support, but it's really hard when we....well are much slower then the others at building FAST and reliavle cars

I ain't the one throwing my toys out the pram, we are were we are does not change my support.

[Rob]

the truth really hurting you MATE, dont' it???
i'm trying to support, but it's really hard when we....well are much slower then the others at building FAST and reliavle cars

So from that seems you only support us when we are winning and fast.

[Uzair Ahmed]

Nice parking by both lotus... seems they have rehearsed it already

[gazoz]

first race and all you negative people are kicking Ferrari already WOW Great Supporters .....

[Kyss4k]

I guess you supported us just cause we were winning.

When were we winning? I am waiting for it to happen as everyone else. And no, I didn't experienced the Ferrari glory years.

[FerrariF60]

I ain't the one throwing my toys out the pram, we are were we are does not change my support.

no problem mate....keep supporting a losing team then....
oh wait, maybe we'll make up for it in the next races....we just have TO KEEP CALM....LOL

[Katu]

Fernando not behind Perez, gap 6,7 sec

[rico]

rather have 2 car finish with electrical problems than one with DNF

That's for sure but I am not gonna be cheering though...

[Greig]

no problem mate....keep supporting a losing team then....
oh wait, maybe we'll make up for it in the next races....we just have TO KEEP CALM....LOL

I will support them win or lose, maybe you need to log off now.

[killer]

What excuses? That actually explains a lot about performance.

[gazoz]

Here Here ...



I will support them win or lose, maybe you need to log off now.

why, jsut cause u say so....not a chance mate

[Greig]

why, jsut cause u say so....not a chance mate

We shall see then :-)

[Scuderia85]

is kimis drs not working??

[Katu]

as a positive note -all Ferrari powered cars are still running

[Kyss4k]

By the way, to want us to be fast is not supporting? If we were not supporters, we would leave this forum and went to the Merc one. I won't never do that. I love Ferrari and it hurts when they suck. And it hurts even more when they are unable to get themselves out that mess and are slowly going back where they were back in the dark age.

[undertaker_17]

looking at the live timing, we seem consistantly 1-2 secs a lap off the pace of rosberg

you guys think its all down to engine?

[tifosi1993]

Alonso much faster that both Magnussen and Ricciardo

[FerrariF60]

We shall see then :-)

why??? im not allowed to express my opinion??? is that braking a rule or something??

anyone SHOULD be able to express their opinion....just because u run this show.....LOL

[Greig]

And crying about it will change it all.

It's not only the drs, it's the car not working

[sachin]

Richardo
;)

[FerrariFanBoii]

Richardo... :lol

[fratelliferrari]

Stop complaining! I was also hoping for a bit better result but it's the first race and if we finish with both our cars in the points that isn't a bad start of the season. Ferrari needs our support maybe even more in the difficult times! Forza Ferrari in good and in bad times!

[DJTaurus]

THE most pointless team radio from ferrari....

[Katu]

Stella's pronouncing is brilliant

[RedPassion]

Guys,maybe we should calm down a bit,frustration is normal at this stage but on the other hand we are Tifosi and committed to support Ferrari whatever it comes,in good and bad times,keep the faith:wave
JUST GET A GRIP BROTHERS,COME ON:clap

[FerrariF60]

Stella's pronouncing is brilliant

what did he SAY???

[SinanOzerS]

I can't see any "0.8s/lap faster".

[FerrariF60]

Stella's pronouncing is brilliant

what did he SAY???

[wacc]

Alonso much faster that both Magnussen and Ricciardo

only temporarily, unfortunately

[killer]

Kimi has a shot at JEV. Bottas & Hulk may yet come undone.

[red power]

Everybody is aloud an opinion. if you don't like it bad luck.

[DJTaurus]

those red fools always so fast on exit cornering.... grrr

[Kyss4k]

And crying about it will change it all.

So? The thing called freedom of speech still exists doesn't it? Or are we back in communism? I hope not.c

[Katu]

what did he SAY???

richiardo

[stefa]

Sound of cars is BIGGEST disappointment for me!

[Kyss4k]

that williams is flying.....and where do the speed of those Mcmowers come from??

[SinanOzerS]

Just take a quick look at Bottas, and LAUGH FOR US !

[red power]

Everybody is aloud an opinion, if you don't like it bad luck mate.:-)

[Kyss4k]

More crying.

What **** crying? Did ever heard of emotions? Are you all so cold? I guess you are.

[FerrariF60]

he,he.....good one mate....like you said, everyone has an OPINION, good or bad

[killer]

Kimi ought to get JEV

[Rob]

Team orders at Mclaren. Watch JB catch Kev now.

[Greig]

Everybody is aloud an opinion, if you don't like it bad luck mate.:-)

Not everyone has a right to post here :-)

[DJTaurus]

magnusen did not push the overtake button...

i wont be surprised if red bull would close the gap with mercedes in the next race..... as for ferrari who knows.... maybe more excuses.

[Greig]

What **** crying? Did ever heard of emotions? Are you all so cold? I guess you are.

So your pouring out your emotions on a internet forum? wow

[wacc]

Kimi 8th

[rico]

well done Kimi

[killer]

There ya go...

[FerrariF60]

wow, ONE of the Mercedes is really dominating....they seem to have done a really good job this year....even if if's just the first race...

if we KEEP CALM, we may do better in the next races....

[Katu]

one overtaking move by Ferrari's aswell, nice

[Jose Lorca]

P5 and P8 now. At least we have both cars still in the race.

[FerrariF60]

one overtaking move by Ferrari's aswell, nice

was that teh only overtake teh ferrari's did this race??? with the exception of Fernando overtaking teh HULK while doing pit stops

[Greig]

wow, ONE of the Mercedes is really dominating....they seem to have done a really good job this year....even if if's just the first race...

if we KEEP CALM, we may do better in the next races....

It would be much better not to work calmly, we seen how successful that is when Ferrari went 18 years without a WCC.

Do you know anything about Ferrari pre MS?

[killer]

wow, ONE of the Mercedes is really dominating....they seem to have done a really good job this year....even if if's just the first race...

Oh shut the **** up, will you?

[stefa]

All in all, race was boring...

[medeni73]

only positive thing to say...we finished the race...

[FFFerrari]

Well atleast it wasn't a double DNF.

[stefa]

only positive thing to say...we finished the race...

for the start that is good thing

[Kyss4k]

So your pouring out your emotions on a internet forum? wow

Should I leave this forum? Am I breaking the rules?

Congratulations to Mercedes, they have done their homeworks

[FerrariF60]

sure do mate....i'm old enough

[red power]

[Greig]

It's race 1 of a new F1 era with many rule changes, have a little bit of patience maybe instead of from race 1 whining and crying about the team you are meant to be supporting.

[DJTaurus]

magnussen hit the overtake button god dammit :P

[Greig]

you need to pull your head in mate,

Nah not really, as I said posting here is a privilege not a right.

[FerrariF60]

All in all, race was boring...

boring indeed.....but NIco rosberg dont' seem to....of course it's not boring when your car is fast and reliable....

it's only the first race, maybe we'll get all our DUCKS in a row and really clean up our missunderstandings taht we have with teh car as of now

[Ed Harley]

Very well done podium finishers. I hope Ferrari learned a lot from this race and is able to analyze that and improve things.

[Katu]

i think i know what the next rule change should be - you have to use same tyres in 2 races

[Golfsmith]

So Ferrari was not sandbagging during winter testing,is going to be a long frustrating year for them.

[fronaldo]

All Ferrari powered cars finished although Bianchi long way down

[stefa]

YES!

[tifosi1993]

Brilliant job Fernando, i am glad you are driving for us.

Also kudos to our pitcrew, they did a great job today.

[Ste]

Pretty happy with the result considering our electrical problems and subsequent power disadvantage. Where would we have been without those problems...probably ahead of McLaren. Definitely on the podium. Really pleased for Ricciardo and a great debut for Magnussen and Kvyat.

[Senna4Ever]

:clap
Gratulations to all the follower of the we will be stronger than we look theorie

Thanks to the Safety Car the gap to Merc looks not that bad ... :thumb

[Katu]

All Ferrari powered cars finished although Bianchi long way down
Bianchi spend some 6-7 laps in pits too, not bad result after all

[FA fan]

Well I think under the circumstances we did the best with what we had,I suppose we were a bit lucky that some retired and a few mistakes by others,otherwise the result would have been much worse,i know this is far from ideal,but I think the coming 3 races before we get to Europe,will be an uphill task!!

[Alonso14]

All in all, race was boring...

The start was pretty mental, the thought of it kept me entertained for quite some time. Also, VET cruising was fun to watch.

Anyway, I refuse to have high hopes anymore. There is something fundamentally wrong in the managerial structure of the team and something is lacking. Red Bull destroyed us for aero, and Merc seem to have done a much better job in the most "Ferrari thing" - the engine. Disappointing as they come.

[Golfsmith]

Hope Ferrari learned something about the car systems today and the so called fuel thirsty engine.

[rico]

It will be interesting to see the fastest lap times. The problems are visible to everyone and also mentioned by Alonso in the past days. It's now to the hands of the team to give a solution to each one of them.

[wacc]

So its at the moment
Mercedes
RBR-McLaren-Williams
Ferrari
STR-FI
Sauber
and the rest

[FerrariF60]

So Ferrari was not sandbagging during winter testing,is going to be a long frustrating year for them.



somehow we all knew that....we were just comforting ourselves with THAT idea adn in the end, it BACKFIRED for us FANS....

oh, well....it's only the first race....we JUST NEED TO KEEP CALM....

[sachin]

Never ever expected a Renault engine on the podium

[Kyss4k]

Everyting I see and know doesn't fill me with hope. All is looking bad from what I can see.

Engine doesn't seem to be good. We were talking about the advantage we have by doing our own engine and still we are where we are. Red Bull without testing is ahead of us. We have state of the art wind tunnel but our aero is nothing to write songs about. Our reliability is not bulletproof as we had problems with both cars today and with Kimi's for the whole weekend.

Well, our pitstops seem to be still great.

[pluto]

no chance of beating mercedes this year. why cant we ever design a car like the mercedes or redbulls? like amateurs vs professionals. Oh well, maybe next year lol

[IulianFerrari]

Alonso got the 5th, it's the best he could have gotten. Kimi could have ended up 6th or 7th if it wasn't for that pit lane problem when he had to wait for Fernando's car to do the pit stop, but hey that's racing. Very poor from Ferrari, the drivers need a better car and soon ...

[bonzo]

wow, ONE of the Mercedes is really dominating....they seem to have done a really good job this year....even if if's just the first race...

if we KEEP CALM, we may do better in the next races....
In the next years

[mark p]

Double finish both cars had an issue from start costing time all race. Not brilliant but far from tragic. Loads of data and improved engine mapping with better reliability can mean huge gains over next few races. 34 seconds down here but 1st signs of improvement will be to see if Ferrari can close this gap consistently race by race which has not happened last few years.

Keep finishing getting points and improving pace and Ferrari will be well in there this year.

[Wildcat]

Pretty happy with the result considering our electrical problems and subsequent power disadvantage. Where would we have been without those problems...probably ahead of McLaren. Definitely on the podium. Really pleased for Ricciardo and a great debut for Magnussen and Kvyat.

What are those problems ? Will they be solved by Malaysia ?

[AfterLife]

If if and if what Ferrari said during the race that "both cars had electrical problem and they were not on full power" were right then pace wise we are ok.

[Alonso14]

somehow we all knew that....we were just comforting ourselves with THAT idea adn in the end, it BACKFIRED for us FANS....

oh, well....it's only the first race....we JUST NEED TO KEEP CALM....


I sent your CV to Stefano and...you're hired:lol

[Golfsmith]

Ferrari engine department behind in this new era of F1 engine technology,hope they can rectify it soon and gave us two drivers something to make us proud again.

[mirafiori]

Fair play to Mercedes well done, for us today both cars scored points and apparently it was reported both cars carried electrical issue throughout the race, so our cars were running with less power, so we do have some positives and it is only the first race.:thumb

[Honzus]

Ferrari again just an average car, when we consider last few seasons, we can be almost sure, that this season, again, is lost. I have waited till the end of the race to comment, but everything seems so familiar to me, that Ive lost hope.

Why do we let trolls on a Ferrari Forum.

[Ferrari312]

One thing for sure, for a car that spent 2 years in the making, it performed pretty disappointing.

Hope they'll get that electric problem fixed on Malaysia. :-??

[Nero Horse]

For a guy who's claimed religion is Ferrari, you're always very quick to slate the team and say how bad and awful everything is. :-??

[fronaldo]

Bar the mistake..Bottas might be on the podium

[Jose Lorca]

Once we were in clear air we matched McLaren and Red Bull. From what I saw today we have good downforce but poor straight line speed (which imo was as a result of the electric problems that left us down on power). Alonso could easily follow Hulk through the corners but couldnt get close on the straights. Kimi also struggled on the straights against the Toro Rosso.

[pluto]

Why do we let trolls on a Ferrari Forum.

the truth is trolling?

[Alonso14]

Man, Danny Ricciardo is so much more likable than Vettel. Go get him, Danny Boy .. He just said "trippin' balls" on the podium:lol

Thanks to Stefano for playing an active part in turning us into a mediocre team.

[IulianFerrari]

Bar the mistake..Bottas might be on the podium
Looking at that pace he would have been 2nd in my opinion.

[stefa]

What kind of EL. problem did we have?

[Laferrari]

Championship is over...mercedes is on different league.extremely fast.good driver so we can t catch them.
This race was boring ....extremely boring.Save fuel save fuel .... that s not F1 racing...it s like lemans racing :-D.
Alonso did a great job...kimi was ok but he struggles with the car actually.I hope the scuderia will improve his car because he has done more mistake than he did normally.
The big big disappointment is the ENGINE, he is not on the same level than the mercedes....but also from RENAULT!!!!!! Ers problem....Montezemolo has ask some change for the formula 1 about the biggest part od aero but now we suck with the engine .I know everyone is working hard on the engine in maranello but i hope is not a structure problem because of that we can t do anything about it.If it s a problem with the software i hope an upgrade soon.
We are behind mercedes, mclaren,redbull,williams.It s a lot and we can t speculate about a retire from hamilton vettel massa every GP.
Great pitstop for raikkonen 2.2!the mechanic are the best part right now in the Scuderia F1 team.

[Kyss4k]

Why? Are you just troll or some idealist who cannot see reality? OMG

[wacc]

The new goals for Ferrari:

fighting for the podiums by China - Spain
fighting for the wins by Great Britain or if it is not to be than after the summer break.

You are not serious? Right?

[LivingHitokiri]

Guys, i am frustrated and disappointed as many in here but there is no reason to give up already, it IS THE FIRST RACE OF THE YEAR.
Our drivers had both problems with their cars, they got unlucky with Safety car and yet they managed to finish in points, is it good ? ofc not but its not all doom for us.
If we manage to do this pace with problems i can only hope to see our performance when we are on good situation,where car works as they should we can figth again for wins.

Dont give up folks, we went over some crazy stuff in the past and we got rewarded in the end, the season is long so keep supporting, WE GOT THIS.

[ManFromMilan]

Very boring race.

At least now the first one is done and dusted.

[scuderia_nano]

Early days. This Kevin Magnussu whatever sounds like a masterstroke by ron dennis.
And hopefully his other decision of throwing whitmarsh away doesn't bite us for retaining our very own whitmarsh. . sD
Hope we are ahead by the next race

[ManFromMilan]

yep, for some reason he does that every year....it's liek being so easy for him to do it....i think it's time for HIM to get teh boot; hes failed as a team principal ever since the new old rules from 09-13....adn again under these new rules adn regs...

Agree, the picture is still the same, no development in results, management comments etc. Ferrari is, and I am very sad to say this, not capable to make competitive car and whats worse even our engine/power unit seems to be the lasz in performance point of view. :-(

[Honzus]

Get off my back stalker!

OMG, stupid troll!

[Golfsmith]

Why do we let trolls on a Ferrari Forum.

Are us Ferrari fans not entitled to show/speak to each other about the performance of our team that's it's not up to speed for the 6th year in a row now on this forum,or do we need just say positive thing we know there's not.

[Hornet]

Well done to Magnussen, pretty impressive entrance by finishing on the podium.

Somewhat disappointing results, hopefully we were held back massively by the mentioned electrical issues. It was very obvious our car did not have the power, Alonso was losing ground to Hulk down the straight even with his DRS open.

Hopefully we can fix the issue. Sepang is going to murder anyone with power issues.

[LivingHitokiri]

I do not understand, why everyone is dooming us already ?

[mirafiori]

the truth is trolling?

Why do you feel the need to mock Ferrari, now we should be supporting this fantastic brand, give the team a chance, we have just had the biggest jump in technology ever in this sport. grow up and show some of us true Ferrari fans some respect.

[sachin]

And we should not forget the retirements of Ham..massa .and pettel..out of which surely 2 would have finished ahead of us had they completed the race ahead of us
So we would have been maybe 7th and 9th

[SinanOzerS]

I do not understand, why everyone is dooming us already ?

That's not dooming. That's the truth.

[ManFromMilan]

Never ever expected a Renault engine on the podium




Just glad it was not Vettel to be honest.

I can quote Stefano even before he speaks:lol

[Honzus]

I do not understand, why everyone is dooming us already ?

Experience from the past....

[Sianellen]

Ferrari is my religion. That's why I am sad about what I see. And I am not saying what I am saying without a reason. I want to see something bright about our situation, but I can't find one. :-(

After every session you are always complaining about the team. You can't be getting much satisfaction out of the sport when you are so focussed on pinpointing failure and blame in the team. How sad for you. There is more to F1 and the team than being number 1 every session. Try enjoying F1 for what it is, a sport. Victory should never be a guarantee. It should be sweet and cherished when it happens, not a routine.

[tifosi1993]

OMG, stupid troll!

Aw, did I step on your poor, itty, bitty, little ego?

[Katu]

next time Ferrari tweets something answer it #keepcalm

[LivingHitokiri]

That's not dooming. That's the truth.

Truth ?
Shall we take the previous season start as example on how mercedes should've been doomed ?
Shall we take how many bad stars from team that turned out much better after few upgrades?


Seriously,saying that the championship is over after 1 race and judging our cars when they had major issues is ridiculous. The championship just started,reliability is the key factor in here not the speed, remember this.

[wacc]

Guys, i am frustrated and disappointed as many in here but there is no reason to give up already, it IS THE FIRST RACE OF THE YEAR.
Our drivers had both problems with their cars, they got unlucky with Safety car and yet they managed to finish in points, is it good ? ofc not but its not all doom for us.
If we manage to do this pace with problems i can only hope to see our performance when we are on good situation,where car works as they should we can figth again for wins.

Dont give up folks, we went over some crazy stuff in the past and we got rewarded in the end, the season is long so keep supporting, WE GOT THIS.

You are an optimist, aren't you? Havent you said after the Q that both drivers are going to fight for podium? :lol

[Alonso14]

I remember people back in 2009 were saying simmilar things about Vettel

I've never liked him. When everything is smooth he is this friendly, cool, funny guy but his real side is showed straight away when things aren't great. He was like that back in 2009, maybe he was a bit more likeable in the Toro Rosso.

Criticizing is not trolling. This is a forum, and for yet another year we are far away off the top in Oz.

[mirafiori]

Are us Ferrari fans not entitled to show/speak to each other about the performance of our team that's it's not up to speed for the 6th year in a row now on this forum,or do we need just say positive thing we know there's not.

First race calm down, do you say a film is boring after 5 minutes.

[Alessandra]

Well at least we didn't retire and both in top ten, Fernando in his beloved 5th place.:-??
Not happy, it's ominous with Merc, RBR and McL all ahead of us, both drivers in the case of McL, so no fluke.
Special congrats to Ricc and Magn. - a brilliant debut:-)

Well done to our boys - they did their best

[ManFromMilan]

Hopefully we can fix the issue. Sepang is going to murder anyone with power issues.




Rather have an issue and still finish the race with good points. Plus this gives time to fix the problem now before Sepang.

[IulianFerrari]

And we should not forget the retirements of Ham..massa .and pettel..out of which surely 2 would have finished ahead of us had they completed the race ahead of us
So we would have been maybe 7th and 9th
More like 9th and 10th, Bottas would have been on the podium if not for that problem. 8 cars in from of us right now. In my opinion the order merc,will,rbr,mclaren. Kimi would have been ahead of hulk if not for that pit stop problem, being held up until fernando's car was done so yeah 9th and 10th looks about right.

[Honzus]

Aw, did I step on your poor, itty, bitty, little ego?

OK, the last message to you, YOU were the first who make comment to MY post, I just reacted to your ******** you wrote. In other words you are very close to my back part of body, so if it is your life goal, keep trolling. :pray

[tifosi1993]

What kind of EL. problem did we have?

According to Sky Italia, it was ERS a problem so they couldn't use the whole electric power.

[stefa]

These two weeks are going to be long, long, long...

[Kingdom Hearts]

It looks like another year of keep calm and hopes. So sad, the frikin RB, McLaren and Williams are faster. Let's hope that the electric problems is the thing that prevented the car to be a podium contender.

[stefa]

According to Sky Italia, it was ERS a problem so they couldn't use the whole electric power.

OK. Thank you

[SinanOzerS]

Oh, unnecessary optimism once again.

[Katu]

well in 2 weeks i have my birthday and i really, really hope we are in better shape by that time. a podium would be nice gift

[LivingHitokiri]

You are an optimist, aren't you? Havent you said after the Q that both drivers are going to fight for podium? :lol

You're putting words in my mouth mate. All i said that these drivers that we got are capable to fight for podium if everything goes well,thats because they got insane racecraft.
Yes i am an optimist , i have been through this before and trust me, the feeling when you get rewarded for waiting is fantastic.

[stefa]

well in 2 weeks i have my birthday and i really, really hope we are in better shape by that time. a podium would be nice gift

Hope you will get a nice present from Ferrari

[bonzo]

Keep calm mate, we already had 6 long, long years

[wacc]

According to Sky Italia, it was ERS a problem so they couldn't use the whole electric power.

But that is an attribute of the current PU. They always had that problems according to pre season report. So a question is when they are going to have it fixed.

[stefa]

Off the topic question. Is there PIT WALL KING Ferrari game for this year?

[Alfa159]

Another average start to the season. ..another average car...whens the next major updates., we certainly need them. We looked an amateur team out there today.

[tifosi1993]

OK, the last message to you, YOU were the first who make comment to MY post, I just reacted to your BS you wrote. In other words you are very close to my back part of body, so if it is your life goal, keep trolling. :pray

Well you said you lost your hope so i only gave you a advice.

but looks like I over-estimated the number of your brain cells, so terrible sorry.

Every season? I want it to happen once. ONCE! Then I can happily die. I missed all of the glory day of Ferrari.

And what is killing me the most is the pre-season talks from Luca and co, as they are tired of being second and so on. We have money, we seem to have the equipment and people. Why are we struggling? If we had problem with budget or something, sure, I would not expect so much.

And again, I'm sad because of my love to Ferrari.

And enjoying todays F1 is not as easy for me as well, with the engines that I hate, design of the cars etc. The only thing that keeps me interested into F1 is Ferrari.

[ManFromMilan]

These two weeks are going to be long, long, long...




It surely will be now it seems. And i thought that after testing it was bad:roll

[Kristof_F40]

From all the teams that have retired, none has a Ferrari engine, every Ferrari engine finished the race "without problems". Merc, Williams and McLaren very fast. Merc the fastest. Perhaps indeed we can't run our ERS at full power? We're all dissapointed because we're not 1-2, but I really don't get it why everybody is always so negative. I know, we're not in the best situation, that's true, and I want us to be better. But what do we gain by complaining and arguing against each other. If we can't believe in our team, what's the point?

[FerrariF60]

These two weeks are going to be long, long, long...

long for us fans, but 1000000 longer for Ferrari in trying to understand and fix teh issues with the ERS....they gotta get that sorted out first and get teh extra power we need jsut to keep up with the Mercedes powered cars....and THEN we need to find more speed to surpass them

man, those Merc's are really quick.....adn when will ferrari start building a fast car from the GET GO??? i cannot even remember those good old days...

Hope is the only thing our team still has, already for 6 years.

Ferrari is my religion as well and I'm not happy with the current situation either, but the last thing I would do is bash the team and say only negative things. We all know that everybody at Ferrari is working very hard to get back to the top, and this whining and moaning only makes things worse.
Just calm down, it was only the first race of the season and the outcome wasn't that bad at all for us, at least both cars finished and we got some good points.

Maybe in the 2 weeks you can learn to spell a bit better :-)

[Ferrari312]

So any news about what happened with the 2 Marussia's at the start? Is it PU related?

[RedRebel40]

Afterall it wasn't sandbagging what Ferrari did during the tests. For next years tests please cut the crap about sandbagging. Thank you.

[Katu]

no news yet on theit twitter page

[StefanoDom]

Guys, we need to stay calm, season is early, lots of races to go.

[DJTaurus]

Alonso is soooooo disappointed. :(

[Katu]

did Fernando say hunkelberg?

[Hornet]

Both our drivers didn't talk about the specific issues we had. Hopefully Ted Notebook will shed some light on what went wrong

[FerrariF60]

Maybe in the 2 weeks you can learn to spell a bit better :-)

lol...never mind my spelling...good enough for anyone to understand...even for you Graig.....LOL


ooooops, me thinks i spelled your name wrong....what u gonna do about it MODERATORE

[zike]

Look what happened to HAM, at least we finished the race

[Katu]

i think i haven't ever heard Kimi say more than Fernando. Fernando did sound very disappointed

[Greig]

lol...never mind my spelling...good enough for anyone to understand...even for you Graig.....LOL


ooooops, me thinks i spelled your name wrong....what u gonna do about it MODERATORE

Sorry I never realised you were 12.

[LivingHitokiri]

Is it me or both Kimi and Fernando look really glad that they managed to finish, its like they expected that to never happen ?

[fronaldo]

Mercedes is the new RB

[Nero Horse]

did Fernando say hunkelberg?

Yea, that's what I heard too lol. :-)

[bondilad]

Even with the electrical issues alonso had over a 10 sec advantage over force india. I don't get it. We were down on power so how was that possible considering he was stuck behind FI pretty much throughout the whole race. Was it Tyres/fuel that saving that made it possible? I'm just trying to figure it.

[FerrariF60]

Afterall it wasn't sandbagging what Ferrari did during the tests. For next years tests please cut the crap about sandbagging. Thank you.

AS lotta people have mentioned on here, there is NO SUCH thing as SANDBAGGING....those days are long gone; no one, and i mean no one can really afford to SANDBAG, not in en era when brand new rules are introduced....so whoever thought that we were sandbagging in testing, must have been INSANE....lol

[Katu]

Yea, that's what I heard too lol. :-)

at least something to make us smile today

[FerrariF60]

Sorry I never realised you were 12.

if yo say so, but im sure i may be 10 or 12 older then you....he, he....

I'm just trying to figure it.

Maybe because our car is doing much better on medium tyres,so, with clean air Fernando managed to score some really fast laps toward end of race.
Kimi after he unstuck from Verge he started lapping early 33's when he was doing 35's before.

[wacc]

Yep, both drivers did not look happy. Fernando answering a question about making the car faster - "I am only driving it".
Looking forward to hearing from Stefano.

[Katu]

but crybaby is out again, Vettel - do something i have no power...

it's pure blah blah blah, this is where we are period

[Hornet]

Is it me or both Kimi and Fernando look really glad that they managed to finish, its like they expected that to never happen ?

I might be wrong, but the feeling I get is that they are just trying to keep a positive front. It didn't feel like "wow we finished the race", but more like "well at least we finished the race". They both sounds a little dejected I think. Can't blame them if they do.

[Nero Horse]

Guys, we need to stay calm, season is early, lots of races to go.

*BANNED*

Bye-bye pathetic troll! :wave

[FerrariF60]

RB can, as we saw today

they weren't sandbagging...they jsut had issues with engine or their car package being too tight....once they figured out those issues, they have a quick car...and who knows, it may even be quicker then the Merc later in teh season....they are a BIG TEAM with lotta money afterall....

we jsut have to keep calm and our heads down and hopefully we'll be quicker and see some good potential and speed coming from Ferrari

[wacc]

it's pure blah blah blah, this is where we are period

Yes, this is where Ferrari are today. It may be different as soon as in next race.

[FerrariF60]

wow you hide it so well.

yep, lotta people say i dont' look my actual age....i must be doing something right....he, he...

[bondilad]

it's pure blah blah blah, this is where we are period
