[Hornet]

Good morning everyone :wave


they say rain is on the way. i am prepared for 4-hours long race
With Pat Fry saying some teams are faster than us anyway, I think we have nothing to lose if it rains.

[Katu]

i already forgot how much better old cars looked...

[Scuderia85]

FORZA FERRARI

[Rob]

[LivingHitokiri]

[fratelliferrari]

[Ed Harley]

Massa, Kobayashi, Bianchi, Hamilton out.

[SinanOzerS]

Wow it's already an unbelievable race.

[Katu]

how many will end the race?

[Katu]

Ferrari's are getting themselves togther now. good we didn't lost our drivers in start

[Rob]

Try not to laugh at others failures. It can/could still happen to us

[FFFerrari]

Vettel retires!

[LivingHitokiri]

Fernando did a fenomenal lap right now, wow , our boys are flying, COME ON GUYS

[SinanOzerS]

Well, that's absolutely unbelievable. No other words needed.

[Kyss4k]

Great start from Kimi. Alonso sadly got blocked from both sides.

[fronaldo]

Vettel out

[LivingHitokiri]

Kimi got hit in behind by Kobayashi ?

[DJTaurus]

Kimi currently a little bit faster than alonso....we are faster than ric....

[fratelliferrari]

Kobayashi :furious I really wanted Felipe to score some nice points he deserves!

[red power]

vettal looks to be out.

[Katu]

massa

[SinanOzerS]

Bottas much faster.

[FerrariFanBoii]

Bottas is looking fast!

[stefa]

differences are huge....

[Ed Harley]

Kimi got hit in behind by Kobayashi ?
Yes, so it seems.

[anotherfinemess]

racematelive.com with any type of Indian proxy.

Thanks, I'm already watching the race, Just wanted to know if there is a site with sector times like the F1 app.

[fronaldo]

Bottas overtakes Kimi

[stefa]

williams just passed us....

[LivingHitokiri]

WHY are we losing so much pace suddenly ?

[Kyss4k]

We look really slow on straights...

[DJTaurus]

bottas 1 sec faster than alo

[SinanOzerS]

No speed at all...

[fronaldo]

Kimi lost so much time

[LivingHitokiri]

Our guys are 1:37 why others are 1:35 , what the hell ?

[FerrariFanBoii]

I can honestly see Bottas winning this race now!

[DJTaurus]

rosberg is on a different league....laping on 1.34.217!!!!!!!

[Katu]

hulk holds Fernando

[The Architect]

The car looks horribly slow, a GP2 car would be faster. Overtaken with ease by a damn Williams. This race is going to be painful. Can't even get past the Force India with DRS.

[tifosi1993]

No straight line speed at all.....

[SinanOzerS]

Bottas gone.

[LivingHitokiri]

OHHH MY GOD

[fratelliferrari]

This crash for Bottas is good for us.

[tifosi1993]

Good bye BOTTAS

[DJTaurus]

ricardo is around 1 and a half second faster than ferraris......

[fronaldo]

Bottas lost right rear tyre

[FerrariFanBoii]

We were extremely lucky with Bottas then

[tpe]

FA is very lucky. F14 is the 6th fastest car... Not good.

[Uzair Ahmed]

William unlucky

[stefa]

for the time being NR is so much faster than the rest!

[LivingHitokiri]

Our performance is so damn random, are Kimi and Fernando having problems with fuel or tyres?

[fronaldo]

Pace really not good..

[FFFerrari]

Safety Car because of debris

[Katu]

William unlucky

nothing to do with luck on bottas case

[FerrariFanBoii]

Safety car.... This isn't good for us...

[Kyss4k]

Wow, Button is one lucky *****

[Alesi1]

Can't believevrenault engined cars seem to have more grunt than us! What ?

All those laps in testing for what. RBR no laps turns up here and s quicker.

[Katu]

for the time being NR is so much faster than the rest!

he is in clear air too

[radosav]

Wow ferrari fighting for fifth place

[LivingHitokiri]

This is bad, we got both care spitted same time....

[SinanOzerS]

We have absolutely no straight line speed. How can this possible ?

[DJTaurus]

i am so looking forward on domenicalis explanations after the race.... who would he blame next.....

[LivingHitokiri]

Vergne passed us in the pits, ohh god dammit.

[The Architect]

Just like last year. Drive around slowly and hope someone faster retires.

[Katu]

This is bad, we got both care spitted same time....

that is a good decision, to leave one out would have been crap

[tpe]

Let's stay calm guys... :roll

[sachin]

We look real slow in a straight line!

[Kyss4k]

We have absolutely no straight line speed. How can this possible ?

Probably our engine is indeed far behind that of Mercedes.

[F2003GA]

Wow ferrari fighting for fifth place

Stay calm and focused.....:-s:-s:-s

another good year for us :-(:-(

[LivingHitokiri]

that is a good decision, to leave one out would have been crap

Its the best decision sure but the outcome its still bad, Kimi wetn 8th from sixth ,Button and verge passed us, at least Fernando kept his 5th.

[Kyss4k]

Button is even luckier than I thought. He is even infront of Kimi...

[Scuderia85]

Lucky Jenson

[Katu]

huge question - will it rain today?

[Ed Harley]

How many laps does it take to pick up a tyre and a piece of rim off from track?

[Katu]

chilton p14, they might score today

[Uzair Ahmed]

That safety car sounds better then most of the cars on grid

[Kyss4k]

huge question - will it rain today?

Well your question seems to e answered.

[Katu]

That safety car sounds better then most of the cars on grid

and it's probably faster

[LivingHitokiri]

huge question - will it rain today?

Light Rain in turn 3 , they expect it to be just few drops, still its probable during the race.

[bondilad]

I don't mind heavy rain now. We are slower than toro rosso! !!

[wacc]

The SC phase is tooooo long :roll

[FerrariFanBoii]

Feels like 2009...

[Alesi1]

i am so looking forward on domenicalis explanations after the race.... who would he blame next.....

Me too. I bet its a rehash of the usual though.

[SinanOzerS]

Rosberg's straight line speed is incredible.

[Katu]

Feels like 2009...

2008. 2009 there were like two DNF-s i guess

[stefa]

Ferrari is slow. PERIOD!

[tpe]

I think it's 2005 again, not 2009. Also, it seems that the power unit is not good at all. Look how far back is Sauber.

[FerrariFanBoii]

2008. 2009 there were like two DNF-s i guess

I mean our speed! :p

[DJTaurus]

yeah yeah we were clearly sunbathing on winter tests.... #not

[fronaldo]

So Slow

[sachin]

Button mugging us:furious

[LivingHitokiri]

Why our speed is so low in straights, are we saving fuel already ?

[stefa]

yeah yeah we were clearly sunbathing on winter tests.... #not

That is why I am saying, THERE IS NO THING SUCH AS SANDBAGGING!!!

[red power]

Why our speed is so low in straights, are we saving fuel already ?
Live in hope.

[sachin]

Just not able to overtake that damn FI:roll

[Katu]

Why our speed is so low in straights, are we saving fuel already ?

rather now than 5 laps before the end of the race

[brava]

We can't pass it looks

[fronaldo]

No speed at the straight line..WTH

[F2003GA]

it s look like we have a cooling problem.....Alonso looking for fresh air

[FerrariFanBoii]

Why is it that Alonso can never overtake Hulk!

[DJTaurus]

alonso calm down.... u re gonna empty the fuel tank

[SinanOzerS]

Why is it that Alonso can never overtake Hulk!

We haven't got any straight line speed.

[stefa]

For the time being Mercedes is very impressive

[ALO]

DRS gap is bigger this year yet it makes no difference for us passing

[killer]

Strongest driving pairing in mid mid-field cars.

[Kyss4k]

alonso calm down.... u re gonna empty the fuel tank

Not with that pace... :-??

[Katu]

tyre screams are cool!!

[Ed Harley]

Boring.

[killer]

Welcome to Formula Fuel Saving.

[fronaldo]

Take both Mercedes out and we have almost same pace..

[bonzo]

Two limping anteaters:-(

[radosav]

This car turned Kimi and Alonso into two Jenson Buttons! Killed their racecraft !

[wacc]

bore fest :lou

[SinanOzerS]

Take both Mercedes out and we have almost same pace..

Nope.Even Red Bull is much faster than us.

[stefa]

Take both Mercedes out and we have almost same pace..

Every year we need to take someone out to be in the same league

[Ed Harley]

Rosberg should slow down a bit as there are four more weekends to go with the current engine.

[FerrariFanBoii]

Bottas is so quick!

[FA fan]

Bottas is flying!!

[SinanOzerS]

Just look at how fast Bottas is on the straigt line.Wow, we have no chance.

[Kyss4k]

Look at Bottas. No trouble overtaking.

[bondilad]

Bottas is coming after us. .........

[brava]

Bottas looks the only one able to pass today

[mirafiori]

Well this is looking really bad for Formula one, fuel saving and reliability issues and would you want this technology in your family car???

[ALO]

This is boring why am I up at 2am....Zzzzz:-ZZ

[stefa]

KR dropped down

[wacc]

Kimi slowing? Or what happened

[rico]

we are slower than mercedes, rb, mclaren and williams plus we cannot get past the force india due to straight line speed. deja vu

[anotherfinemess]

Man, this is painful to watch :-(

[stefa]

drops of rain saw on on board camera

[tifosi1993]

Horrible pace...

[sachin]

Why are we doing everything wrong?
In the era of aerodynamics. .we had best straight line speed

And now in era of the new engine's we dont have straight line now.

[Uzair Ahmed]

Waking up for Australia gp in morning was always fun..not this time

[fronaldo]

We are sandbagging..to cover our weakness

[stefa]

front left on NR is looking bad

[SinanOzerS]

Bottas coming behind at Raikkonen.

[stefa]

Bottas coming behind at Raikkonen.

...really fast!

[SashAlex]

Hopefully this is gonna be a disgraceful season for F1 and everyone starts eventually looking for much more fun races.

The start looks promising.

Ferrari? No comment!

[tpe]

Bottas is marching against KR. It is obvious that we are something like 2 secs behind Mercedes. Alonso cannot pass Hulk, so, I suppose the issue is pure engine power. He has DRS, though, we cannot pass him...

[The Architect]

Bottas is just going to blast past. Falling behind Mercedes, Red Bull and even McLaren/Williams - we're nowhere.

[bonzo]

Why are we doing everything wrong?
In the era of aerodynamics. .we had best straight line speed


And now in era of the new engine's we dont have straight line now.
Because our team boss is with accounting background:-D

[FerrariF60]

...really fast!

we're just TOO SLOW....slower engine, slow in top speed, possibly more thursty engine....

this season has begun to a bad start for us...

[mirafiori]

We are sandbagging..to cover our weakness

It looks like we are cement bagging. :-s

[Kyss4k]

Hopefully this is gonna be a disgraceful season for F1 and everyone starts eventually looking for much more fun races.

The start looks promising.

Ferrari? No comment!

If it will be a disgrace, FIA will come with triple points, don't worry... :-??

[Schumiklub]

Alonso losing ground on Hulkenberg...

[FerrariF60]

Bottas is marching against KR. It is obvious that we are something like 2 secs behind Mercedes. Alonso cannot pass Hulk, so, I suppose the issue is pure engine power. He has DRS, though, we cannot pass him...

exactly...our engine seems a LOT more weaker and less in power then teh Mercedes powered cars....so much for FERRARI building better engines and relaying on them better then AERO....this is a joke from Ferrari....absolutely inacceptable from a big team like THEM

[Kyss4k]

We should probably consider getting the Mercedes engine. :roll

[DJTaurus]

i shouldn't have paid for the official f1 app :(

ps - where do we see the gap difference?

[Ed Harley]

I had big reservations for Ricciardo but he seems to be doing a great job.

[Uzair Ahmed]

Lotus retired

[tifosi1993]

Kudos to Mercedes...they really did a great job.

[IulianFerrari]

later than i expected but maldonado is out, my money is safe

[Ed Harley]

...as well as Magnussen.

[DJTaurus]

i am wondering what alonso could do with clean air.....

[Kyss4k]

Alonso HAS TO pit one lap earlier then Hulk for him to have at least a chance to challenge Magnussen.

[SinanOzerS]

Hulkenberg is some 8km/h faster than Alonso on sector one and some 6km/h faster on sector two.

[FerrariFanBoii]

Don't worry everyone! We got double points to look forward and help us......... Not

[FerrariF60]

i am wondering what alonso could do with clean air.....

not much more me thinks....u can only do so much with the power you have coming from teh unit.

[DJTaurus]

that fell of buttons nose.... give that guy a viagra!!!

[brava]

We passed hulkenberg :)

[fratelliferrari]

Finally in clear air for Fernando

[Uzair Ahmed]

Upside of these engines means we could hear tyre screams

[Kyss4k]

Aaaand Hulkenberg comes to pits first...

Try to push Alonso now! Hope!

[Schumiklub]

He has clean air now, let's see

[FerrariF60]

ok, let's see what alonso can do in clean air now....prolly NOT much, car is NOT up to par

[The Architect]

As a man, I couldn't help but wince at Button's injury.

[Ed Harley]

Tires squeal like street tires.

[Scuderia85]

alonso now quick

[killer]

We win or lose now.

[rico]

button is ahead of fernando... So nothing gained really

[SinanOzerS]

1:34:077. If our power unit was good..

[wacc]

1:34,0 for Fernando

[DJTaurus]

We win or lose now.

you mean we keep 5th place or not.....

[stefa]

KR.... Great!

[SinanOzerS]

Ah Kimi.

[FerrariF60]

kimi really sucks, or cannot get used to teh new braking system

[killer]

Box Kimi

[bonzo]

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

[brava]

Well done Kimi

[Katu]

my jaw just dropped.. wth kimi?

[Ed Harley]

Big brake problems with KR.

[Schumiklub]

Kimi is really struggling

[killer]

you mean we keep 5th place or not.....

Not suck basically

[Uzair Ahmed]

Thats proper racing..go alonsooo

[SashAlex]

It's just painful to watch the way they attack the corners, especially from the above-helmet camera. Simply coasting.

I remember when I was starting to watch F1 my mumm was asking me(even if she eventually started watching as well) why I was looking at 20 guys in 20 cars just going round for 60-70 laps. I told her that it was fun seeing these guys pushing to the limit and going extremely fast, even if round. Now I'd have troubles explaining someone why I am watching it. They're just going round, aren't they? :roll
