I have positive feeling about this race. I am going to watch this race with this feeling. Knowing Alonso race craft skills and hoping Ferrari has brought some upgrades which according to Kimi seems to be working we can aim for podium.
Forza Ferrari!!!Forza Fernando!!!:ferrarifl:ferrarifl:ferrarifl:ferrarif l

Alonso eyes podium assault

Fernando Alonso believes Ferrari can target a podium finish in today's Belgian Grand Prix after qualifying in fourth place.

The wet conditions at Spa on Saturday appeared to suit Ferrari, with Alonso admitting he was surprised how competitive the car has been so far this weekend. With both Williams cars behind him Alonso concedes it will be a tough race but is encouraged enough by the pace shown on Friday to believe a second consecutive podium is a realistic target.

“We'll see, I think the possibility is there, no doubt,” Alonso said. “We are in a good position in fourth and we have some people around us with good race pace, like [Daniel] Ricciardo and the Williams and we need to fight hard to be on the podium. But we know the Mercedes, even if they look very quick, they have had some mechanical problems in the last races and we need to be there to take any opportunities.”

And Alonso admitted he feels he has had “a perfect weekend so far” having been quick in every session at a track he has never won.

“It has been a good surprise, the weekend in general. We will see how we can finish [the weekend] and hopefully taking good points. We expected to have Williams quite strong here, but maybe with qualifying being wet it masked their true pace, so maybe in dry conditions we can expect them to be very competitive.

“Also, it has been a circuit that I have never done anything special here – this is my second best qualifying after 2007 with the McLaren – but now I'm in front of the Williams and one second in front of my team-mate who has won here four times. It's been a perfect weekend so far. “

Seems like a sunny day at Spa according to Ferrari's twitter.

Could be a tough race for us. Williams will be stronger, mcLaren might even be too with Merc power advantage down the straight.

Mclaren has butterfly susspension arm and that could cost them on the straights.

We need rain otherwise we'll be sitting ducks. We went for a wet setup. It may or may not work in our favor. At the moment it doesn't look good for us.

There is no wet setups these days. We have higher DF because we lack it.

Alonso seems to be optimistic.....compared to pre qualifying.

Not that it would make a difference for Mercs, but only them and ferrari chose a high downforce set up amoung the front runners. Given how quickly things can change at spa plus Mercs reliability issues if it rains we might be in for a good race.

I also have a sneaky feeling that Ferrari's insistence on concentrating on reliability might just pay off towards the end of this season.

Anyway good luck to both our champs:thumb

Hello to All of You, from me :))))) I am optimistic, after all that summer break and silly season blablabla thing. Forza Ferrari :)))

P.S. Don't get me wrong. I read somewhere on the web that Alonso said that , it is important in the right moment to have the best tyres for the conditions.....! I remember that yesterday , Ferrari ( and some other teams, probably), choosed full wets, instead of intermedias and it was not the best decision. I really hope we have luck and a good stratergy :))))

The car stalled? If we never got it started before every car left the grid then Alonso would start last. There is a reason no mechanics are allowed on the grid when cars are leaving on the formation lap and it is for safety and we broke that rule to save Alonso being last yet you say we don't support him?

The car stalled? If we never got it started before every car left the grid then Alonso would start last. There is a reason no mechanics are allowed on the grid when cars are leaving on the formation lap and it is for safety and we broke that rule to save Alonso being last yet you say we don't support him?

I feel for what it is worth, in hindsight, it was fast thinking on their behalf. Starting from the back would not have been good. I guess the team took a hit on behalf of Fernando!

Can't convince you buddy...I think we should wait for the race to get over and the analysts to come out with the issue that happened....but you talk about support.....support means we give them a car to fight...not to just participate in races...is the team fulfilling that support?!

The car stalled? The mechanics had to go back and get it going or he would start from the back.

Alonso can leave if he wants, we will win without him just as we would win with him WHEN we make a race winning car. He is not all that crucial to winning races.

Yes it would be great to have a fast car, I remember the Schumacher era and it was magical. I like to question but not criticize - I am just a bias Ferrari Fan whatever the result - but I know it is frustrating - the car needs to fast - but I am always an optimist and next year maybe will be different if the money and rumours about the investment being made are true. For me, and it is only my own personal opinion, I still believe we are the best team in the world even though the results do not reflect that. I would still SUPPORT them back or front of the pack. Sometimes it is tough to support your team when others are shining but our day will come again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
