Thanks.

Looks like not working on android Tablet?

[Senna4Ever]

Come on you boys in Red
:ferrarifl

[Uzair Ahmed]

Alonso spun

[SinanOzerS]

Horrible.

[elnano98]

Damn

[Haris]

Amazing.

[fratelliferrari]

:-(

[SilverSpeed]

Haha I'm not the only one who's sleeping...

It's a bad season anyway so I don't care anymore.

[Alonso14]

P19, P20? Well, midfield mediocrity, I miss you already.

[Uzair Ahmed]

Terrible terrible

[FerrariF60]

what a desaster for the two Ferrari's

[Nathan]

You must be kidding

[stefa]

It goes from bad to worst....

[Lesky]

Raikkonen still finished behind Alonso...

[Kyss4k]

:rotfl This is an absolute disgrace. Well done guys, well done. This is beyond embarrassing. :ferrarifl

[WS6TransAm01]

This is ridiculous. Well done pit wall, let sit there longer. What the hell!?

[tifosi1993]

Tragic....:-(

[Rishu]

Williams out as well

[FerrariFanBoii]

I booked the day off work tomorrow just to watch the race, wish I never had done now, we are pathetic.

[Sab_g]

Absolute joke!

[Neno]

We waited too long to go out on tyres for dry :-(

[Kyss4k]

Next time guys, please sit the whole time in the pits again.

[RedRebel40]

We really miss Ross Brawn

[stefa]

that is so important now...

[wappad]

Oh, oh.. the price you pay for not practising this morning..

[Jas]

Well that was unexpected, wonder how we would have done

[Hornet]

That was mighty stupid to go out so late. Even the Merc who were at the front went out early on slicks. What were we waiting for?:-(

[red power]

what else could go wrong, goodnight all.:-(:-(:-(

[Alonso14]

It was poor strategy and to be honest in was no one's fault. Our drivers were way too late on the slicks, I think everyone on slicks had a spin/ruined lap in the end

Edit: When I say "no one" I mean the drivers and the guys who designed the car. Obviously the strategist have to take some blame

[anuragiyer8989]

What?!! C'mon !! :rotfl:-(

[Jas]

So true, sat in the garage all morening....one big mixed up grid tomorrow

[stefa]

FA not bored at all

[Rob]

Ok, not good at all. Think the track drying abit caught out alot of the teams. Dont blame the pit wall for Fernando and Kimi, they made couple mistakes. Tricky tricky conditions.

[Rishu]

My heart goes out for Ferrari fans sulking in the rain at Silverstone

[Sab_g]

When the car is this slow, they really can't afford to get there timing/strategy so wrong!

[Rob]

That was mighty stupid to go out so late. Even the Merc who were at the front went out early on slicks. What were we waiting for?:-(

To see if conditions were good enough.

[Kyss4k]

That was mighty stupid to go out so late. Even the Merc who were at the front went out early on slicks. What were we waiting for?:-(

One would thought after so many times in the past when we get cought out in quali because of waiting too long, we would learn. Nope. There is no help for the dumb.

[killer]

Beyond comical at this point.

Also, Jenson's lap should not have been deleted.

[Aberracus]

Its Not only Alonso fault, its clearly an strategic blunter.

[Kyss4k]

To see if conditions were good enough.

What?

[bonzo]

Brilliant tactics! Why bother drive at all? Make them sit in the cockpit amd wait for the other to finish then line up on the last raw. At least we would have spared the tyres!!! SHAME:furious

[Rob]

Come on Rosberg.:-D

[FerrariFanBoii]

Has anyone ever won a race from being 19th on the grid before? :P

[anuragiyer8989]

Tmrw there'll be 2 diff races....one at the top , the other at the bottom!

[tifosi1993]

That was mighty stupid to go out so late. Even the Merc who were at the front went out early on slicks. What were we waiting for?:-(

More rain maybe...

[Rishu]

Beyond comical at this point.

Also, Jenson's lap should not have been deleted.

Zero tolerance according to Whiting, it was implemented to be honest

...and it is almost always Ferrari is caught by those tricky tricky conditions...

[hogo]

I missed quali by 20min, turned on tv finally and saw that we are out. that was the shortest quali that I've ever watched lol.

[Kyss4k]

Has anyone ever won a race from being 19th on the grid before? :P

We wouldn't win the race even if we had a pole. We'll be lucky to get points tomorrow.

[Rob]

What?

its a gamble, go out to early, spin off, everyone moans for sending them out. Go out to late miss the chance. Its a loose loose situation.

[stefa]

Beyond comical at this point.

Also, Jenson's lap should not have been deleted.

He was all 4 wheels off the track

[Alonso14]

Has anyone ever won a race from being 19th on the grid before? :P

We can't win from pole but hopefull we'll stand better chance now. Trying new stuff, you know:rotfl

[Uzair Ahmed]

Now what are they doing sitting on the pit wall

[Rob]

...and it is almost always Ferrari is caught by those tricky tricky conditions...

Bad timing. Its all it was. Gutted, but moaning about it isnt going to chance nothing.

[killer]

Zero tolerance according to Whiting, it was implemented to be honest

Didn't they allow for when a driver loses reasonable control?

[Rob]

Now what are they doing sitting on the pit wall

small debrief.

[SilverSpeed]

Ah well there's always the Tour de France now :-D.

[stefa]

Has anyone ever won a race from being 19th on the grid before? :P

John Watson won in McLaren in USA from 19, or even lower place...

[racingbradley]

Flabbergasted why in such conditions could they have not have used split strategies :-??

[Rosso Corsa]

Ah well, over it already.

[killer]

He was all 4 wheels off the track

He had little to say about that.

[Alonso14]

Didn't they allow for when a driver loses reasonable control?

When something outside of his control happens (being pushed, for example). Going too fast (and subsequently leaving the track with all 4 wheels) is within the driver's control.

[Rishu]

Didn't they allow for when a driver loses reasonable control?

Whiting mentioned for couple of corners clearly that there will be no tolerance whatsoever

[Kyss4k]

its a gamble, go out to early, spin off, everyone moans for sending them out. Go out to late miss the chance. Its a loose loose situation.

What?! Everyone went out when the track was almost dry! Were we waiting for sunshine or what? On radio it was even said that the rain is coming. Waiting in these conditions is ALWAYS wrong. The past proves that.

This is not Ferrari anymore. This is bunch of freaking amateurs. Inteligent people learn from mistakes and won't be repeating them all the time.

[Senna4Ever]

So more fun for tomorrow.

[killer]

Flabbergasted why in such conditions could they have not have used split strategies :-??

Best one was obvious; we just got caught out. Oh well, it is what it is.

[Kingdom Hearts]

epic lol today.

[stefa]

So more fun for tomorrow.

it is going to be a hell of a fun, back there

[anuragiyer8989]

Its not Kimi, maybe the whole team's feeling bored! :rofl

[hogo]

So more fun for tomorrow.

Cameras rarely show backmakers...

[WS6TransAm01]

If we are in the points tomorrow it will be a miracle.

[Nero Horse]

Well if it rains tomorrow as well then the starting positions won't matter much anyway. It was just bad luck that's all, **** happens. With better luck, we can still get some good points in the race. I'm disappointed of course, but I also know that tomorrow is when points are given out and in the race anything's still possible.

[stefa]

If we are in the points tomorrow it will be a miracle.

Maybe, only if it rains, and SC periods...

[anuragiyer8989]

If we are in the points tomorrow it will be a miracle.

Don't know about points but we'll definitely be in lots of traffic, especially Mercedes powered traffic!

[Uzair Ahmed]

Cameras rarely show backmakers...

Tbh I have seen more of force india then ferrari on tv this season

[Kyss4k]

This has nothing to do with luck...

Cheers to you both.

What do they have in place for tomorrow? 5 second penalties? They better stick to their guns.

[stefa]

This has nothing to do with luck...

:thumb
Luck is once or twice, but constantly repiting mistakes is something else...

[hakanabi]

We should replace pitwall with Marussia...

[Rishu]

Cheers to you both.

What do they have in place for tomorrow? 5 second penalties? They better stick to their guns.

Agreed 100%

[Jas]

RAIN DANCE TONIGHT to make tomorrow interesting

[Jas]

Come on marussia!!

[FerrariFanBoii]

John Watson won in McLaren in USA from 19, or even lower place...

There you go Alonso! There's your target! Go and beat him! Haahhahahahah. *hides back in Ferrari cave of shame*

[Jas]

And their out

[Nero Horse]

This has nothing to do with luck...

Yea whatever... I'm just hoping that we can still score some good points tomorrow, which is what really matters.

[Rishu]

Gutierrez has 5 place grid penalty. Alonso to start from 18 :D

[Nick Singer]

What an utter shambles! Thank Heavens we didn't pay to go this year..

Unless it rains - or ALO really can turn water into wine - we are toast!

Switch to Le Mans/ LPM1(?) can't come soon enough..

Very fed up Ferrari fan!

[stefa]

Gutierrez has 5 place grid penalty. Alonso to start from 18 :D

I am already feeling better :lol

[Rob]

Both Fernando and Kimi got nothing to loose tomorrow, things we will see gloves off and going for it. Fingers crossed for points.

[F2008]

Big mistake by Ferrari (and Williams), they simply didn't react in time after Button set the fastest first sector on slicks.

[Nick Singer]

Yea whatever... I'm just hoping that we can still score some good points tomorrow, which is what really matters.

Think we can assume ALO will drive his heart out.. as always! Rain, a safety car and who knows? A podium would be like a win!

[Kyss4k]

Yea whatever... I'm just hoping that we can still score some good points tomorrow, which is what really matters.

I wonder how will we overtake with our top speed? This will fun... not.

[Nick Singer]

Gutierrez has 5 place grid penalty. Alonso to start from 18 :D

LOL

[Rob]

Big mistake by Ferrari (and Williams), they simply didn't react in time after Button set the fastest first sector on slicks.

As soon as Button lighting up the screens, we should of gone out.

[Kyss4k]

Think we can assume ALO will drive his heart out.. as always! Rain, a safety car and who knows? A podium would be like a win!

podium? :rotfl

[Senna4Ever]

What more we have to loose now for tomorrow?
Nothing!

Just curious to read about our official statements ...

[Alonso14]

Both Fernando and Kimi got nothing to loose tomorrow, things we will see gloves off and going for it. Fingers crossed for points.

They do have things to lose - front wings, suspensions, stuff like that. But yeah, seeing them go guns blazin' would be fun to watch. Until we reach a Merc-powered car; then it will get a bit boring, I reckon.

[stefa]

podium? :rotfl

Yes. If 15 cars in front DNF!

[Uzair Ahmed]

Seemed like raikonen was abt to cry

[Jas]

Kimi blunt as ever! Alonso wanting to have fun...this could be interesting

[stefa]

What more we have to loose now for tomorrow?
Nothing!

Just curious to read about our official statements ...

FA just said that they made mistake. Wrong tires in wrong time...

[Nick Singer]

podium? :rotfl

Delighted you find it funny. If it rains anything could happen. TTFN

[Rob]

They do have things to lose - front wings, suspensions, stuff like that. But yeah, seeing them go guns blazin' would be fun to watch. Until we reach a Merc-powered car; then it will get a bit boring, I reckon.

WDC is pretty much over, WCC, is 95% over, so go for it.

[Senna4Ever]

FA just said that they made mistake. Wrong tires in wrong time...

Just heard it too on Sky Germany
And sky germany was moaning why alonso wasn't crying

[FerrariF60]

on the BRIGHT side, we have ALL these extra, shiny, brand new tires for the race....NOT that it's gonna do us any good, but at least something to brag about...LOL

[Nick Singer]

If(!) ALO stays for 2015 it will be make or break. Without a decent car next year, I doubt he'll be in a Ferrari in 2016.

[Kyss4k]

Delighted you find it funny. If it rains anything could happen. TTFN

If it rains, we are *****. Our car is an absolute disaster in wet. We don't have traction, our engine is too agressive... but if 90% of the field will DNF, sure, we can get podium I guess.

[stefa]

Just heard it too on Sky Germany
And sky germany was moaning why alonso wasn't crying

we are watching same broadcast :-)

[Lesky]

Vettel caught out on the strategy as well now...

[stefa]

I am out. Need to prepare lunch for children. This has been already way to much waste of time...

[Alonso14]

WDC is pretty much over, WCC, is 95% over, so go for it.

WCC only 95% over? WDC pretty much over? And I thought I was optimistic. Both WDC and WCC are 100% over for us, I'm afraid.

I'm not sure how much exactly we can go for it. I mean if we had a 2012 car (not really but with good top speed) it might have been fun. With the engine being not very impressive this year...

[SilverSpeed]

Hey look Webber is there, hopefully tomorrow to then bieber will DNF again haha.

Ow looks like Webber already bring bieber bad luck again haha! Epic, we shoudl give him a season pass haha :-D.

[F2008]

As soon as Button lighting up the screens, we should of gone out.

Yep but instead Ferrari waited another full minute. Williams even longer. Inexplicable.

[SinanOzerS]

Haha for Lewis.

[Senna4Ever]

What was that?

[Kyss4k]

I will never understand what is everyone doing... They have to give the tyres back, so why some stayed in pits? Why did Lewis let Rosberg past?

[Jas]

What the hell!!! Hate to be lewis

[Alonso14]

Lewis made us look like bunch of Einsteins :lol:rotfl

[Senna4Ever]

How is that possible to gain sooo much of time in the last sector?
Vettel was already more than 2sec behind and then ... ?

[Aberracus]

Kimi, made his time with slicks...

[Uzair Ahmed]

They do have things to lose - front wings, suspensions, stuff like that. But yeah, seeing them go guns blazin' would be fun to watch. Until we reach a Merc-powered car; then it will get a bit boring, I reckon.

U do know we are starting right behind merc powered Williams

[Kyss4k]

Lewis made us look like bunch of Einsteins :lol:rotfl

Well... he got 6th we have 18th and 19th. He still has a lot to learn to mess up as bad as we did.

[Rob]

Well done Hulkenberg. And Rosberg. Nice 3rd for JB.

[Kyss4k]

How is that possible to gain sooo much of time in the last sector?
Vettel was already more than 2sec behind and then ... ?

It was wet before, dry after.

[Rosso Corsa]

Tomorrow could be race of the year. This grid is crazy :-D Looking forward to it.

[FerrariF60]

Tomorrow could be race of the year. This grid is crazy :-D Looking forward to it.

me too, i expect a really good race tomorrow...especially since our boys have NOTHING to loose...so we mind as well go for it....weather we're gonna come out HERO or ZERO..

[Hornet]

How is that possible to gain sooo much of time in the last sector?
Vettel was already more than 2sec behind and then ... ?

The first round of times were set with very bad S3 times due to the rain coming down at that time. Somehow, either it got a little drier or the drivers knew to find a different line, they were able to set a significantly faster S3 in the 2nd round, huge enough to overcome the slower S1 and S2


Anyway, very disappointed today. Wished we had taken more chances with slicks in Q1

[Kyss4k]

Tomorrow could be race of the year. This grid is crazy :-D Looking forward to it.

Ony interesting thing will probably be Williams getting through the grid. Marussias will just drop down, Lewis will most likely be 2nd in the end of 1st lap. Everything else is normal.

[Red is Best]

I ain't even mad. I'm used to Ferrari's mediocrity.

[FerrariF60]

I ain't even mad. I'm used to Ferrari's mediocrity.

i tend to agree, we've been like this since, what?? 2009?? so nothing's new....one day when ferrari will built a FRONT running winning car ( hopefully next year, or ALONSO will get fed up with ferrari's performance and switch) we'll all be in SHOCK and AWE and wouldn't know how to react to all that....LOL

[Aberracus]

Rain lottery

[pluto]

you dont wait and gamble in q1, you just make sure you get through.

[anotherfinemess]

My heart goes out for Ferrari fans sulking in the rain at Silverstone

Poor souls :-s

[ManFromMilan]

This really hurts....

[sachin]

Royal screw up today!

[FranksterGM]

Well at least we will get to see both drivers come through the field.
Well Alonso at least..

[Greig]

Stefano must go....oh wait

[sachin]

Well at least we will get to see both drivers come through the field.
Well Alonso at least..
You sure we will be able to do that? :roll

[FranksterGM]

You sure we will be able to do that? :roll

Fingers crossed...

[Kingdom Hearts]

Stefano must go....oh wait

fry must go. :rotfl

[Alonso14]

Well... he got 6th we have 18th and 19th. He still has a lot to learn to mess up as bad as we did.

Starting 6th in a Merc is pretty much like starting 20th in a Ferrari. The funniest part is that Lewis made the conscious decision Rosberg go because he believed that no one would be able to improve.


U do know we are starting right behind merc powered Williams

Damn, I forgot. Well, they have unbelievable starts and it is question of time Felipe to crash into something/someone while he's running in the pack. So after the first corner we might never see them again :D

[Hornet]

You sure we will be able to do that? :roll

I see no reason why Ferrari cannot at the least get into the points, say P9 P10. Not exactly what we wanted coming to this race, but those points may prove useful against Red Bull and Riccardo.

[Nero Horse]

Nothing else to do but to hope for a better day tomorrow. I certainly believe that we can climb up the order and still get some good points. Forza Ferrari!

[Ed Harley]

Well, it could be worse. Hope for a decent race tomorrow.

[bonzo]

:thumb
Luck is once or twice, but constantly repiting mistakes is something else...

Yes, it is called amateure stupidity. Well, no, amateures would not have risked it. Just plain stupidity. It is time MM clean the stables:-E

[REDARMYSOJA]

I knew we were in trouble when I saw Hamilton's time come up, he didn't even beat out Bianchi.

[Alonsomaniac]

Hahaha......first you think Ferrari was screwing up but no, then comes Lewis.......:rotfl:rotfl:rotfl

[Alonsomaniac]

On the other hand, this could indeed turn out to be a fun race for Fernando and Kimi, I mean now they really can race.........
Fernando wasn't even that disappointed, maybe he thinks the same?

[ManFromMilan]

Hahaha......first you think Ferrari was screwing up but no, then comes Lewis.......:rotfl:rotfl:rotfl



Yeah it seems the Lewis Hamilton bonehead move of the weekend has a winner already:lol

[ManFromMilan]

Fernando Alonso was pretty pragmatic after Ferrari's qualifying disaster at Silverstone on Saturday.

Having been there or thereabouts during Friday's two practice sessions in the dry, the Italian outfit looked set for a decent qualifying session, but it turned into a poor afternoon for the team.

With the rain falling steadily during the latter stages of Q1, Alonso lost control of his car and spun at Luffeld, failing to make it into Q2. His team-mate Kimi Raikkonen also crashed out in Q1.

However, two-time World Champion Alonso was philosophical after Saturday's qualifying.

"It happens some times in this weather," he told BBC Sport. "Thirty seconds before or later you'd have the right tyre in the right moment and you'd be in the hero or the mistake part.

"Here in the compound there are two Ferrari drivers and two Williams so we there was something we definitely did wrong compared to the other teams.

"We need to study what happened but I don't think there was nothing we could do differently. After the qualifying it is easy to do but in the moment it isn't very clear.

"We will start at the back, we will have some overtaking to do and we'll enjoy."

[ALO]

Could be worse.

[vcs316]

British GP qualifying: Alonso says Ferrari needs faster decisions

Fernando Alonso says his Ferrari Formula 1 team needs to improve its decision-making procedures in order to avoid situations like going out in Q1 during qualifying for the British Grand Prix.

Both the Spaniard and team-mate Kimi Raikkonen failed to reach Q2 after going out on slicks just before the rain hit Silverstone in the dying moment of the first qualifying segment.

With the duo not having set a competitive enough time before the rain came, both were knocked out, with Alonso 19th and Raikkonen 20th. It was the first time Alonso missed Q2 since the 2010 Monaco Grand Prix.

The double world champion, who also suffered a spin on his flying lap, admitted Ferrari needs to work on speeding up its communication process having been in this situation before.

"We know there are two Williams and two Ferraris out of Q1, so there's definitely something wrong compared to the other teams because when both cars are out in a session like this it's because you were in the wrong moment with the wrong tyre," said Alonso.

"That's something we need to look at. It's true that it has happened some other times, and we were saved many times by luck.

"We need to do better next time. I think the bigger teams have longer procedures than smaller teams, so we need to speed up some of the communications and some of the things that we do."

While team-mate Raikkonen believed Ferrari was unlucky with the weather, claiming it did not risk anything by switching to slicks when it did, Alonso said the fault ultimately lay with the team.

"It's something we need to improve, but at the same time it's a very narrow line," he added.

"If the rain had come two minutes earlier these people would be in the wall now, and people would ask [them] 'why do you put dry tyres while the track is still wet?'"

"But I agree that there were some cars on dry tyres today a couple of minutes before us doing green sectors and we were in the garage. So we need to improve that for next time."

The Spaniard also condeded that he had banished thoughts of staying in the title fight this year

"I think if anyone apart from Rosberg and Hamilton tells you that they believe they can be world champion this year they will lie," he said. "And I don't like to lie."

[scuderia_nano]

The Stephano plague wil continue beyond 2014 it seems. Boy we should have fired him when the rules were on a reboot.
Now his "developmental" model is already set in. Sad.
And how much was Stephanos say in letting Felipe go and replacin him with thebored driver?

[Senna4Ever]

Well, it could be worse.

in which manner ?

[Greig]

People still blaming Stefano? Hahaha so funny

[Senna4Ever]

Fernando wasn't even that disappointed, maybe he thinks the same?

what would it help when you burn the city? He knows better than us that it wasn't on purpose so why let drop the shoulder?
Just take a look at Vettel: Q1 in as 16th ... just a blink of an eye and he would have been there too where we are (who knows what would have been possible if Sutil wouldn't start digging the gravel?). Then Q3 his first try also a mess with no time ... so he had to go out for a 2nd one and suddenly even the times in sector 1 and 2 spoke for themselves. But oh wonder he is just on P2 then by crossing the line ... while Lewis stops is attempt guessing the track won't give an improvement in the last sector ... but then by really nobodies knowledge it did ... even the guys from Sky Germany wrote Vettel of 'til he crossed the line.

this is one of the days that even if the goalie leaves the goal you shoot the penalty into the stars

But what me wonders is ... where is Alonso criticizing the team?

Alonso said the fault ultimately lay with the team.
in ever interview I read or hear he says the same: that it is a small line between hero and zero ... and today we are zero ...

[Alesi1]

Well who's fault is it? Let's assess objectively. We don't have 2 monkeys driving our cars, we have 2 world champions who are both in 19th and 20th. Pretty clear to me it's the teams fault! Simple. The team needs heavy criticism, that's the only way to drive improvement. What do you exect him to say, I'm thrilled to be in19th it's my fault I'm crap, team is great. Team is a joke/ laughing stock and a shambles at present. Fact.
Be happy we have the best driver driving for us and lay off him, he has earnt the right to say whatever the hell he wants in my opinion given the garbage he has been dished up.

[Hornet]

People still blaming Stefano? Hahaha so funny

Stefano must have planned the strategy for today's qualifying before he left :ouch

[diesel08]

I don't blame the team, yes, maybe they need a quick reaction, but that's the game, and Ferrari has nothing to lose now. Tomorrow we will have a good race.

You misunderstood me it seems: I said, that I can't find the place where he is doing it ...
As I can't find a critic there where he says HE could have done better but THEY messed it up ... that what I unterstand when someone criticises his team.
That today and how it went isn't the yellow from the egg is obvious ...

BTW: of course he can say what he want, depends on the timing and the place - IMHO
And Alonso also wasn't without mistake today ... so a little bit practise in the wet wouldn't have hurt him much ...

P.S. maybe this scene stops the theory where only Kimi gets the bad pit stop decisions ...

Why was MM talkig to Fry at the end of Q1? Was it Frys decision?

[Ed Harley]

in which manner ?
They could be 21st and 22nd.

[Alonsomaniac]

You misunderstood me it seems: I said, that I can't find the place where he is doing it ...
As I can't find a critic there where he says HE could have done better but THEY messed it up ... that what I unterstand when someone criticises his team.
That today and how it went isn't the yellow from the egg is obvious ...

BTW: of course he can say what he want, depends on the timing and the place - IMHO
And Alonso also wasn't without mistake today ... so a little bit practise in the wet wouldn't have hurt him much ...

Correct, Fernando did not say the team messed up, he said it is a narrow line and WE were not on it.....and WE have to improve that. Fernando never talks about himself and the team because he sees himself as PART of the team.

Well Alonso did say some time ago we will feel Stefano's work up until this grand prix, so this disaster today must have been his last piece of work :D

[Nova]

People still blaming Stefano? Hahaha so funny

lol...Sure..he did it alright..

Ferrari gonna turn up the wick and we gonna have a good race.
They cant really go that much further down...but it sure would be great
if they simply went bells out, did some tire mgmt and got a good finish.
We've seen cars starting at the back and doing ok, n we have 2 great drivers.
Its going to be fun to watch the Ferrari's if nothing else. Lets see what they got.

[Hornet]

Pastor got a penalty. That's extra one place for us I guess

@SkySportsF1 1h
Pastor Maldonado has been sent to the back of the grid for the British GP after failing to provide a fuel sample:

So it's: Maldonado, Chilton and Gutierrez with penalties right?

[shamim179]

We need a few more penalties on top of that and our starting positions won't be so bad. Hopefully, it will be the mother of all penalties for this race!

[71dino]

to seeing our drivers have some fun... this season is a shambles but we can still see some great driving from Fernando and Kimi. we have good people but our car is a dog...it happens. ok, that's about all of the optimism I have just now... now the pessimist side (which I rarely visit) we qualified in 19th and 20th, they are thinking of dumping Monza, the cars can not race without worrying about fuel flow, no in season testing. and Bernie wants more money.

Apologies. Frustration with this season boiling over for me, plus kid induced sleep deprivation :-)

There's not much you can do about Ferrari. But, have you considered selling the kids to Gypsies?

[killer]

The Stephano plague wil continue beyond 2014 it seems. Boy we should have fired him when the rules were on a reboot.
Now his "developmental" model is already set in. Sad.
And how much was Stephanos say in letting Felipe go and replacin him with thebored driver?

My goodness but you are thick.

[Alesi1]

Not a bad idea, though I suspect I'm the one who'll be sold off:lol

[hogo]

Yes, not SD, not MM, not LdM but Fry is making tactical decisions. I am afraid that till we have him, Mormorini and Tombazi, till we will be a mediocre team. SD was bad, but he wasn't the only one who put us where we are now.

[ARUN M KARUNAN]

zero zero and again at last ferrari lost a year

sorry alonso

Stefano must go....oh wait

Not enough, get rid of Massa too. That will do it .

:lol I laughed way too loudly at that.

[Senna4Ever]

what is happening at the weather front?
do we expect dry race or changing conditions?

[Hornet]

Looks like dry today
