2019 Spanish GP: Race

[jgonzalesm6]

Nico slapped with a pit lane start.

Could we see a repeat of 2016??? (wishful thinking):-D

[KimiBot]

Could we see a repeat of 2016??? (wishful thinking):-D

I guess that is our only hope today. But then again, it is racing, anything can happen.

[jgonzalesm6]

for those that wish to see the parade

[512 TR]

I guess the only thing to hope for is a Merc collision in the first corner or a mechanical breakdown or two. Maybe some 2018 Melbourne luck with the SC. Although Barcelona rarely have a SC in the race. Seb seemed somewhat confident with the setup yesterday. At least that's what he said.

[KimiBot]

I have a feeling that Maldonado wins. :-D

[jgonzalesm6]

Lewis is mostly by himself during these parade's.

ALOT of Max fans in the grandstands.

[caption] "Should we let him get that close!"

[Vettel165]

1-2 for Mercedes incoming, Bottas will dominate the field by at least 15 seconds.

[Cevertmyhero]

I would love to see a Mercedes repeat of 2016 but I don't think it'll happen, I feel bottas would never battle with Ham and will always let him pass.

I hope Leclerc has a good stArt and gets away from crashstappen. Forza Ferrari!!!

We due a good race and Mercedes are vastly overdue some bad luck on ham!!!

[tifosi1993]

No really looking forward to today's race, expecting a boring race and Mercedes 1-2.

But still...Forza Ferrari!

Grandstands are all empty lmao

Well done vettel :) **** driver

[fratelliferrari]

Iam afraid not even a podium today...we lose so much time in S3...

[ferrari1.8t]

Lol Hamilton already 3 seconds ahead after 2 laps...this should be fun.

[chinmay]

Well done vettel :) **** driver

You might be alone on this. I am sure people would be happy that Seb tried to do something at the start after seeing the result of yesterday.

[paolo lalli]

A mercedes victory by a Spanish mile f1 is finished it is really a joke.

[Christopher]

Our race pace is worse than our quali pace

[chinmay]

Verstappen's race pace isn't bad at all. He will be going for the undercut on Bottas.

[chinmay]

Our race pace is worse than our quali pace

Wait for the medium tyres to show up.

[Ferrarichamp]

yup, it wsa good while it lasted.....

[jgonzalesm6]

Verstappen's race pace isn't bad at all. He will be going for the undercut on Bottas.

Max waited behind all 3, then overtook Seb.

[Scuderia85]

We have to hope for a P3 today but it will be very hard.
Max is so strong!
MERC is in there own world.

[Rishu]

For god sake don’t screw Leclerc today

[Warp]

Wake up team!!!! Team orders now!!!!

[chinmay]

Should let Leclerc through.

[chinmay]

Leclerc's tyres are getting wasted, there is 3rd position to lose. Should swap immediately to get a shot at that.

[Christopher]

Got to swap them surely

[Warp]

I don't understand this team anymore.

[KimiBot]

1 sec per lap

[TonyRizza]

Ferrari pit wall are morons

[tifosi1993]

Not only we are missing pace, we're also lacking commonsense

[paolo lalli]

Can't wait for the post race Ferrari Binnotto bull **** it will be first class.

[Arcana]

Team orders please: put the Leclerc pet back in his place before he strews up Vettel's race.

[jgonzalesm6]

Nice job Seb.....GO CHARLES!!!

[Arcana]

Well I am disappointed. Go MAX!

[Warp]

It was Team orders or Vettel is a knight?

[TonyRizza]

Can we get jock clear sacked?

[Hornet]

Why not put Vettel on a 2 stop.
He needs a new set of tires

[Ferrarichamp]

Mercs just cruising around..

[tifosi1993]

Jock clear is Charles's mentor, you should blame Binnotto

[TonyRizza]

Long overdue

Honestly ever since he joined from MERC our strats have been ****

[Rishu]

Team call

[paolo lalli]

Another mercedes capitulation brilliant.

[Kyss4k]

Can we get jock clear sacked?

Almost everyone we sacked is in Mercedes... It's not the working people. It's the management who can't handle them. Sacking anyone will not help.

[bonzo]

It is a CAUSA PERDUTTA guys....pitwall, manager, all of them. We will wait for the resurrection of the team when a NON ITALIAN manager will finally take over...

[Kyss4k]

Over a second slower per lap. This is embarrassing. :giveup

[hakanabi]

Over a second slower per lap. This is embarrassing. :giveup

It's beyond embarrassing

[tifosi1993]

Lelcerc is now closing in on Max

[Arcana]

So with the new updates Max is beating us fair and square... Oh well...

[chinmay]

So they are putting Seb on what 1 stop??

[FerrariF60]

So with the new updates Max is beating us fair and square... Oh well...

that's what happens when you have DOWNGRADES instead of upgrades mate....we've seen it time and time again at ferrari

[bonzo]

12 sec gap in less than 20 laps!!! Mercs are unbeatable this season.

[paneristi]

With snail-like reaction and too much cappuccino, he needs to wake up

[Warp]

Sack em alll

[Arcana]

2 stops for Vettel. And obviously, very slow pitstop.

[Ferrarichamp]

RB will win a race before us, it seems likely.

[Aziz]

that's what happens when you have DOWNGRADES instead of upgrades mate....we've seen it time and time again at ferrari

I have no words anymore about this team

[jgonzalesm6]

Sebs pit stop was slow.

[Arcana]

At least I want to see Ferrari finishing 1 lap down to Merc.

[Christopher]

Gasly could jump Seb here

[Aziz]

Me as well

[Aziz]

At least I want to see Ferrari finishing 1 lap down to Merc.

Me as well

[tifosi1993]

They need to pit Charles now

[bonzo]

I wonder how pitwall will ruin Lec race today?

[tifosi1993]

Are they blind or what? Leclerc is losing time :furious

[Arcana]

I wonder how pitwall will ruin Lec race today?

They are keeping him too much on old tires. And they are doing it right now.

[Rishu]

At least I want to see Ferrari finishing 1 lap down to Merc.

We all are frustrated but no obligation to support the team and wish them all nonsense just because you’re unhappy

[KimiBot]

what is Alonso doing

[Noquarter]

Ferrari screw Leclerc race with hard tires.

[Arcana]

So 1 stop for Leclerc ?

[WS6TransAm01]

At this point everyone at Ferrari should be fired, down to the janitors. Pull out of the championship and rebuild from scratch. This is next level crap.

[TonyRizza]

Hards??

[jgonzalesm6]

Both pit stops were slow....over 4sec.

[Arcana]

Hards??

Yes, but with this strategy they are trying hard to finish behind Kubica.

[tifosi1993]

Leclerc is now 10.9 seconds behind Max, before Max's pitstop it was 3.6 sec :roll

[paneristi]

We’re throwing away championship with B-class management & strategy

[Hornet]

Leclerc is now 10.9 seconds behind Max, before Max's pitstop it was 3.6 sec :roll

Max will need to stop again, Lec don't need

I'd say it's looking good for Lec

[Arcana]

Leclerc is now 10.9 seconds behind Max, before Max's pitstop it was 3.6 sec :roll

Slow pit stop and they also kept him too much on old tires. They are trying 1 stop with him, it would be fun to see where he finishes.

[chinmay]

Now they are wasting Vettel's tyres, should swap with Leclerc.

[tifosi1993]

Max will need to stop again, Lec don't need

I'd say it's looking good for Lec

Track position is more important, giving away 3.6 seconds gap for one less pit stop is idiotic

[Rishu]

Vettel on 2 stopper. Let him go

[Arcana]

We’re throwing away championship with B-class management & strategy

Ferrari race pace, strategy and pit crew is like a B-class movie.

[KimiBot]

We’re throwing away championship with B-class management & strategy

well, we are about 1 sec slower, so we are not throwing anything away

[Arcana]

Vettel on 2 stopper. Let him go

That's the reasonable thing to do, but you never know with Ferrari.

[doublesixes]

Mattia, this just isn't working.

[chinmay]

Unbelievable, first they didn't they Leclerc through when they should, now they aren't letting Vettel through when they should. It's a double whammy or triple or quadruple. Embarrassing.

[Liscia]

I cannot bear to watch this anymore

[chinmay]

Maybe Ferrari cares for fans and they want Vettel and Leclerc to put up a show.

[Kyss4k]

Is this team we are trying to support mentally damaged or what? Why isn't Vettel infron already? Why did we keep Charles behind him for 4 laps before? Why can't we do anything QUICKLY?!

[Arcana]

lolol ahahaha.... that's impossible. This race is so fun...

[TonyRizza]

This is ridiculous... Ferrari are awful

[Aziz]

lolol ahahaha.... that's impossible. This race is so fun...

Hahahahahaha, true.... This team is a joke

[Warp]

Ferrari, please wake up.. We're fighting against Max.

[DJTaurus]

Why don’t they leave vettel to get through ??

[Greig]

This is embarassing, Binotto won't last the season.

[tifosi1993]

Ferrari :roll

[JacKy]

What is this ******** ? Just awful

[Noquarter]

Is Binotto the worst boss of Ferrari in team history?

[Greig]

Sky saying Ferrari don't even know what strategy each driver is on...1 or 2 lol

[Arcana]

I never laughed so much when watching a race... Well the damage was done, even if they let Vettel now, his tires are probably gone anyway...

[chinmay]

Vettel got so much pace on Medium tyres but they are not letting him through. They need eye replacement.

[bondilad]

but look at all the coverage we are getting :lol

[JacKy]

Ahahahha this just poor written comedy

[Kyss4k]

Our beloved team is now for sure a comedy relief of F1. We do not pose any challenge, we are making downgrades, our strategy is like in some amateur village racing... This is not Ferrari, I don't know this team.

[tifosi1993]

Idiots...should've given the order 4 laps ago

[Warp]

Too late. Damage was done on Vettel's tires..

This is embarrassing. Our strategists are Redbull's spies. it doesnt make any sense at this point.

[TonyRizza]

Might as well support Williams lmao

[Arcana]

Is Binotto the worst boss of Ferrari in team history?

For me Domenically was the standard of stupidity, but what I see now it's something else entirely.

[Ferrari_Fanatic]

i've switched off

[aroutis]

I think this is the race that one way or the other will solve everything.
Seb will be furious after the race, I have a feeling that Charles is ignoring team orders.

I cannot believe that the pit wall is -that- ignorant in handling a simple situation where they should switch order with two cars in different strategies.

We'll see.

[chinmay]

Vettel is immediately 2.5 seconds ahead of Leclerc. Terrible delay in switching.

[Aziz]

What are big bosses doing, do they watch this?!?!?

[nani_s23]

First post on the race thread, great to see ferrari in this position.
This is the last thing we wanted.

I think Mattia doing it wantedly, May be ferrari would sack him so that he can get into mercs :-D

*Correction: Domenicali.

[Kyss4k]

The whole world was screaming LET HIM THROUGHT twice this race and it took Ferrari 4 laps in both cases to realize it... What the actual... I may quit my job and ask for a job at Ferrari, it looks like they are making a huge amount of money for doing nothing, great place to work!

[nani_s23]

3 mistakes from ferrari so far.

Delay in vet-Lec first stint battle
Pit stop error for both cars
Delay in vet-Lec 2nd stint battle.

Ferrari are serious abt racing ???

[aroutis]

Vettel is immediately 2.5 seconds ahead of Leclerc. Terrible delay in switching.

4 now.

I might not be a "sack'm all" supporter. But on a serious note, someone needs to lose their head.

[Ferrari_Fanatic]

Domenicali delivered race wins

[Hornet]

Sky saying Ferrari don't even know what strategy each driver is on...1 or 2 lol

Sad to watch this going on.
The team have a bigger problem than just the car's performance. We'd wouldn't win the title even if we had Mercs performance

[chinmay]

Verstappen would be very happy about that delay in switching, looks like a confirmed P3 for him now.

[aroutis]

Can't just count this race. You need to check since the start of the championship. Our strategy plainly sucks.

[JacKy]

This is next level of stupidy

[KimiBot]

Charles takes P3 ?

[tifosi1993]

And now they pit Vettel...

[Noquarter]

Where can we find a new Jean Todt? :-)

[Rishu]

For me Domenically was the standard of stupidity, but what I see now it's something else entirely.

Domenicali atleast had sense to call ‘Fernando is faster than you’ even when team orders were outlawed. Binotto, I’m sorry doesn’t seem like cut out for this job

[doublesixes]

Ferrari, on a quick path to irrelevance.

[JacKy]

I mean come on what are you guys going ?????

[Warp]

And of course we're behind Gasly.. Nothing is working on this team.

[Noquarter]

Great pass by Sebastian.

[Arcana]

Let's just look on the bright side: a good pit stop for Vettel. These are being an exception lately.

[Giallo 550]

I'm actually watching and laughing at just how incompetent this team is. It's like the entire team from the pit wall to the pit crew is dazed and confused in Spain. :lol

[Kyss4k]

Do you remember the start of last year? We were leading the championship. It took just 1 year to fall so far down, that we are closer to the mid field than to the leaders. This is Williams level of "progress"

[chinmay]

Looks like Vettel may be able to snatch P3 from Verstappen.

[Noquarter]

Charles race is again ruined.

[Arcana]

Well Max will trash Leclerc.

[Kyss4k]

If Vettel was not stuck behind Charles, he would have come out infront of Verstapen. If Charles was not stuck behind Vettel, he may have caught Verstapen.

[aroutis]

I'm actually watching and laughing at just how incompetent this team is. It's like the entire team from the pit wall to the pit crew is dazed and confused in Spain. :lol

I am not sure why you laugh. I remember the same team trying to pit a car and losing a tyre on its way out. That mess was corrected once Jean Todt took over.

It is not funny to see the unravel of this work , which is what I fear is slowly happening.

[chinmay]

If swapped earlier, Vettel would have been ahead of Verstappen at this point. Now how do you overtake a car with newer tyres with similar pace on this track?

[tifosi1993]

I still don't understand why the put Charles on Hards, he had two brand new sets of mediums

[Giallo 550]

If Vettel was not stuck behind Charles, he would have come out infront of Verstapen. If Charles was not stuck behind Vettel, he may have caught Verstapen.

The incompetence in this team is really something to marvel at.

[tifosi1993]

SC

[Warp]

SC PLEASE

[nani_s23]

I still don't understand why the put Charles on Hards, he had two brand new sets of mediums

He has only 1 set of medium I think so. But anyways it’s waste of talking Becoz ferrari did shoot themselves down

[Arcana]

Kaboom! SCD!

[jgonzalesm6]

Safety Car...Norris and Stroll.

Ham's lucks continues

[DJTaurus]

Why medium on Lec??? Why vettel didn’t pit ???? What is going on this team ????

[Cevertmyhero]

[TonyRizza]

Omg ferrari actually have a brain and pitted leclerc

[Kyss4k]

Vettel now has the worst (oldest) tyres of them all...

Yes and they even managed a trouble free pit stop.

[chinmay]

Now time to take off Verstappen. Leclerc is perfectly poised for P3.

[Noquarter]

italian press will take no prisoners tomorrow :-)

[Greig]

Safety Car...Norris and Stroll.

Seb thinking for the team again... Our strategy guys are useless.

[Schumiklub]

Again, this is so disappointing, disheartening and what not. I’m just baffled at how slow the team is to react. First they keep Leclerc behind Seb for several laps, then the other way around. We could have at least snatched 3rd from Max.

Ferrari strategy will not allow that. When there is chance of P3, they will call him in pits again

[Arcana]

Forget about third spot on the podium. Ferrari doesn't deserve it.

He had a lock up with those tyres after SC restart. So may be protecting tyres or he’s scared that team might call him again in pits if he’s fast.

They should just retire him right after the race start. It's just not worth the headaches having 2 cars at once on a racing day.

Atleast we won't be getting embarrassed by Red Bull-Honda. Also, there's a chance of winning a race or two by copying Mercedes, which is looking impossible with our current aero concept.

Well it matters. If we just had the slower car, we may hope for a development to catch up. But our development is garbage, so... we would hope in strategists to come up with something clever, but they are garbage as well... so what now? If we would my some dark magic figure out the car and would suddenly be the fastest out there, we would probably throw it all away with our strategy, reliability, mistakes... Is there any chance for us in coming years? I don't know if I'm alone in this, but I don't trust us anymore. I used to believe, we would come out on top, that we have the best driver(s), that we know what we're doing. Now? I am just scared all the time about how will we mess it up this time.

Ferrari need a big reshuffle in management etc..!! They should allow other region resources into their not just Italian.

In my opinion there's only one man who could bring Ferrari back to glory days. Ross Brawn.

The other one, apparently has passed away. Sergio Marchionne.

Formula1 is about politics nowadays.

Ferrari is fast? Let's install a Hardware device on their so we can monitor why they're fast.

Mercedes is bad with specific tires? Lets change them.

Hmm may be current management should think of it right.?? Ross brawn clearly said they should get rid of that all Italian feeling first.

Ferrari won championships earlier with all group of intelligence. Not just Italian brand.

SM was very good administrator. Unfortunately we lost him.

Think all of the teams will boycott F1 if MERC win all races this season? lol... This has become a joke of a year

No wonder Lauda described it as "Spaghetti Culture". It may sound bad but the fact is, Brits are dominating current F1, they have always dominated F1 and will continue to do so.

Game over! Depressing. I can't fault Seb for the start though. At least he tried to provoke a Merc collision. He took 8-10 meters in half a straight (monster engine). Unlucky for him it was Bottas who got the worse start so he had nowhere to go but wide and flatspot a tyre.

I swear the pitwall are zombies. First they keep Charles behind Seb for far too long (the swap should have come earlier), knowing he has a flatspot and instead of pitting him early for a two-stopper they keep him out lap after lap. Who the F! tries a one-stopper with the hard tyre? Beyond stupid! Why did they do that with Charles? When Seb then caught up with Charles they again waited for way too many laps even though they knew both drivers were on different strategies. Binotto, go back to the factory. That's where your place is, not at the track. That's what I said in the winter.

No pace after the SC. Another sad sight. Alain Prost, he looked so bored. So bored!

Boycott for what? for not coming up with a great car even after spending 450+ millions?

And Mercedes haven't been always invincible, last year's Ferrari was championship worthy car and we all know the rest.

[PURE PASSION]

For the 1st time in my life ,that I actually feel anger for the team!!!!! I'm not a 15 year old kid that want always to win (
Not saying that I dont want that to happen ) but it's the 1st time that I personally feel that the team is small/ useless/ unable to react to anything. It's the 1st time that it looks to my eyes more like a midfield team as for a team that has the balls/the talent/the resources to fight for the champooship!!!! Every other year I was sad for losing wins /championships BUT I always could found an excuse to feel better and hope for the next one !!!!
NOT now !!!! And for that yes an really mas with the hole team !!!!!!

[nani_s23]

Honda target this year was Ferrari. Atleast they are on it & achieving it.

The message of a loser.

Not being able to fight Mercedes...OK but letting RB to take 3rd?. Ferrari gonna Ferrari.

#AMuS Peter Sauber: "Formula 1 is on the decline. If Mercedes continues to win, soon no one will be watching anymore."And he is right, even I as a diehard Ferrari fan stopped watching it and just checking the results.

As I said yesterday, I was not able to watch race as I am currently in Milan airport waiting for my flight back home. It is good that I was not able to watch it. As I can see Ferrari managed to loose even 3rd!? They are.... I don't want to get banned.

Glad I’m not watching Singapore GP. Can save my bucks for something else.

What a chaotic race for us.
I agree that we have a shot at P3, but we certainly have no answers to Merc pace.

Last year we saw at times Ferrari struggled when quick decisions had to be made. Seem like this issue is getting worse. We were slow in reacting to straight forward situations, and if what Sky reported was true, the team don't even know what strategy the drivers are on.
Seem the team have more problems on their hands now than just car pace.

I think this season is going to be a long, challenging one. While Ferrari isn't the only team that can't catch Merc right now, but we are tripping over ourself while fighting to be the best of the rest, and this is painful to watch :-(

[FranksterGM]

Then why dont the Brits own any of their car industry anymore?
Funny, but poetic justice too.

Ferrari has always been an international team. remember Postlethwaite?
It was Ron Dennis who hated Latins, hated going to Italy and wouldnt hire any.

lauda being the typical Lauda again, sad when he won 2 , almost 3 championships with Ferrari.

Great post... without hurting our own team. :thumb

This season looked over after China tbh.
The one thing I'm hoping for now is Merc don't win all 21.

[tifosi1993]

What's frustrates me is, even when Vettel "himself" said he flatspotted his tyres and begging for pitstop and simply couldn't go any faster, they waited 4-5 laps to give the order. By that time Max was 6+ seconds ahead, but Charles, closed that gap to 3.6 seconds. Red Bull then responded by pitting Max. But Ferrari, instead of copying Max kept Charles out for another 7-8 laps. So after Charles's pitstop, the gap to Max was 10.9 seconds....

It's pretty clear to me that Ferrari has no management. They can't manage to two fast drivers and simply don't know what to do with the strategy.

Well it's not Mercedes fault that others are not capable to close the gap. They are very well organized structure and even if they hit the rock on their path, they will work around that problem and solve it. Then you look at Ferrari that sadly looks like they got stuck in blind alley and cannot find exit.

I agree, but I don't see what can stop them of doing that!
