[Gilles]

A win for Charles, nothing else, bad luck has lasted long enough and his talent cannot be frustrated any longer

[paolo lalli]

They say bad luck is shared it some other teams turn.Ferrari have had there share, clean air please f1 gods.

[Riccardog]

Want a Ferrari win... but in light of news recently, the merc foothold in FIA with an ex employee, the FIA stepping in on porpoising.... it all points to a manufactured merc win..... scratch that.... a lh win.

I DO SERIOUSLY HOPE I AM WRONG!

[Brembo]

it all points to a manufactured merc win..... scratch that.... a lh win.

I DO SERIOUSLY HOPE I AM WRONG!

Get Masi back ASAP !!! It can work again! :rotfl

[Tifoso Svedese]

Charles' best circuit, downforce is more important than drag and presumably 21°C air temps and dry. Should be a good weekend. Then again it's Ferrari we're talking about so who knows?

[wisepie]

The weather forecasts I've been following show a chance of showers and cool temps and windy for the whole weekend, not ideal for one of our best chances of a win after an unfortunate few races for Charles. I don't trust Merc, though, and with two Brits driving and Wolff's insistence that they are still not competitive, well we'll see.:roll

[phsyklone]

Looking forward to seeing how the order will be. Hope we keep our advantage

I'll believe it when I see it.

Hoping for a Ferrari win as well.

[Juan]

So it looks like upgrades got delayed AGAIN and we won’t be bringing any of them. Just the new Canada GP rear wing for both cars, does someone know why are the upgrades not ready?

[djmorin27]

Cuz it's going to be crap weather thrubout the weekend.cant afford to wreck the new upgrades

[jgonzalesm6]

Ferrari put fins on the bottom of the mirrors. Nice and very important and priority update. Should be good for 1/10. [sarcasm]

[Aziz]

RedBull will have the advantage because in Silverstone aero efficiency is king, even if Ferrari generates more downforce overall

[aroutis]

Rules have been amended after WMSC meeting, which btw Ferrari is a voting member.

More here.

[wisepie]

So Mercedes (James Allison) reckon they can beat Ferrari on merit at Silverstone, funny how they knew about the new technical directive for the double-stay floor before anyone else, I sincerely hope we can prove that they can't. They have reliability on their side, though, but we are due some good fortune for a change.:roll

[stefa]

Everything else except Ferrari 1-2 will be failure!

Under the new changes in the regulations, the way I understand them, we can now make changes in the engines (till we make the permanent fix) with "temporary" components which AFAIK this is a new one and I am not sure if this brings any penalty to the driver any more.
This seems to me like a very good thing for Ferrari.


Teams will now be permitted to undertake temporary changes to their power units in order to avoid adding new elements and risking grid penalties.

But teams will also be allowed to swap an engine or elements in parc fermé with new components or a unit of a newer specification between qualifying and the race without incurring a pitlane start.https://f1i.com/news/446167-fia-amends-f1s-2022-sporting-and-technical-rules.html

[aroutis]

Deflection tests for Rear Wing Mainplane Trailing Edge and Beam Wing Flexibility have been updated

Fuel will now be permitted to be chilled to 20°C at hotter races. The temperature reference will be taken one hour in advance of the session
Also this..

ah nice.....that alone can easily give us HALF a second in lap time.....ok sarcasm here

but whatever happened to BIG updates for Silverstone, like new rear suspension to help with porpoising, reshaped side pods for better aero efficiency....oh, i get it, IT WAS ALL RUMORS.....

[FerrariF60]

The weather will not favor us

we'll prolly have better luck if it rains THAN if it was dry.....

[phsyklone]

Are those mirrors even legal ?

[FerrariF60]

Are those mirrors even legal ?

we'll find out....if indeed our lap time will go down by HALF a second, i'm sure red fools will complain.....lol

I have to agree with you, stefa, this is a crucial month of GPs and we just have to regain our momentum, but it'll be a hard job to recoup what we've already lost.:pray

He said earlier championship is not the target. Ferrari being competitive is an achievement he says.

Don’t know when he or we will start thinking about championships.

[djmorin27]

Do we know why no updates.what a looser mentality ferrari has

[faloupas]

When season started...when almost everyone thought that Ferrari would be champions again...i was cautious...i couldnt understand all that happiness and optimism after just two races...there where people here who had the belief that Ferrari would manage 9-10 wins this season...
I was banned as a troll for my comments...now...when season is a copy of 2017 and 2018..as the upgrade department is sleeping for one more year....im really disappointed but i laugh at all these experts and fans etc etc...im disappointed i was right.
We need much more apart from a great basic car...we need mental strength and the right people...not clowns anymore.
I hope one day Ferrari will overcome this situation... probably not this year...

[Tony]

I'm starting to get the feeling that there may not be a significant amount of budget dedicated to upgrades. Ferrari may have spent a large amount on getting the base car well designed and then were left with room for track specific adjustments and minor upgrades...

[Brembo]

Max H P, Perfect pits, tyre control, Drivers push to the max, Ferrari back on top.

Have you seeing us falling behind, performance wise???? Because this is what the upgrades do. Have RedBull upgrade their car to make it faster then ours?? Because I see that in most races we where faster them them. And even in Canada(RedBulls we track) we where equal/a little bit faster. So why moaning about upgrades?? Foe esthetic reasons????
To talk about teams / strategy mistakes and bad reliability that cont a huge amount of points, then ok I agree.
But on pure performance we have nothing less then RedBull!!!!!

#F1: updates for #BritishGP

Mercedes: front suspension, sidepod inlet, floor, rearwing

Red Bull: front corner (calliper temperature management), engine cover, floor

Ferrari: engine cover, sidepod undercut revision, rear view mirrors, outboard stay redesign

This looks like we don't upgrade the car ???????

Looks like both Ferrari and Red Bull played the media again and put out rumors they weren't bringing updates to their cars to throw everyone off.

[stasera]

we need more reliability than updates. we are kinda fast. we lost many points so far, we had to retire our cars. we lost many points because of reliability. NOT because of lack of speed

Baku was a disaster, but Ferrari have had the same number of mechanical DNF's as Red Bull.

Biggest issue is lack of straight line compared to Red Bull. Made it impossible for Leclerc to challenge in Imola and Miami. Baku it looked like maybe the issue had been solved, but in the race it looked like Red Bull's straight line was going to eat Ferrari alive again, even before the engine and gearbox went boom. Canada was the same story. Sainz was close, but just not enough pace on the longest straights.

Same number, 28 points difference between the 2 major dnfs (Ves -Lec)

[RossTheBoss]

Ferrari have brought new rear wings first used on Leclerc, changes to the outboard part of the floor, the engine cover, the sidepods, and new mirrors.

It's a big package, actually.

[djmorin27]

any word on the new transmision which lowers the weight and configures the rear suspension.i think thats the magic bullet for ferrari

I just underline my disappointment.In race pace term we are so close with Red Bulls so a step forward is always something we need.
We will lose both championships easily even with a faster car...thats frustrating.
I also just dont accept excuses that we just want to be competitive.If you are not aim wins and championships you are not Ferrari.

You know what is frustrating?
Fans (no tifosi) such as yourself that cry all the time if the team has issues.

The team has issues since 2009...so its not something new...there is no "if".We always have issues.
Have your opinion i have mine...if we don't get rid of clowns nothing will change.
Support what?The effort of trying being second or third every year?:clap
We support but we have the right to criticize..fans in every kind of sports do it around the world.Every fan criticize his favourite team if a situation is endless...

You are coming across as self entitled though. Like sure if someone slams it into the wall or the team completely mess up on the wall or in the pits then fair enough, in that instance people can be frustrated but it's illogical to get wound up when a ball hasn't even been kicked (to use a football phrase!). Treat every weekend as a new one because that's what it is, we have potential and we saw it in Barcelona and Monaco but we have to bring it all together in a fault free weekend. You can't write the team off every race weekend just because of what came before. Especially when there is potential In the car.

This spat reminds me of the saying, "When two Greeks come together, it's a tug of war" :lol;-);-)

I'm with you on this one, faloupas. Ferrari dropping the ball again and again AND AGAIN for years on end is frustrating beyond belief for any tifoso.

And any fan has the right to lambast their team if screwing up seems embedded into the team's very DNA.

[tifosi1993]

Not seeing any porpoising.

Bandwagon hoppers, that's what they are. Put that troll in ignore list, you wouldn't be missing anything valuable.

[PURE PASSION]

Right now for example if we where almost 1s behind after each pass , a lot of people here would come out and say that what lovers we are , clowns etc .
What now ?? We won the race already???!!!

[Vittorio]

Careful with the finger-pointing because you may come across as patronizing.

It would be nice if some of the Pollyannas on this board would tone down their incessant need to berate those who may be frustrated with the team.

I approach every single F1 weekend with as much optimism rearding Ferrari as possible, as I've done since I became a tifoso in 1977.

But there is no denying that it is very frustrating to support a team that 'drops the ball' with almost religious regularity and has done so for some years now. Worse for me is the relentless lack of killer instinct which has also become a hallmark of the Ferrari F1 culture. It's bewildering how this 'we-keep-trying-slowly-gets-there' namby-pamby nonsense culture has been allowed to take hold at Ferrari. Importantly, it's a mindset that is completely out of place in a sport as ruthless and competitive as F1.

[Vittorio]

Bandwagon hoppers, that's what they are. Put that troll in ignore list, you wouldn't be missing anything valuable.

Well, I'm often frustrated with this team and I've been on the Ferrari 'bandwagon' since 1977, so I guess you suggest I hop off, is it?

[Aziz]

I hope for no rain tomorrow

[458 Italia]

You have to assume we're running high fuel runs with the softs.

[Aziz]

CL seems to be out of sync at the moment

[tifosi1993]

It was bit of a weird run. Charles didn't even manage PBs on softs in S1 and 2.

[elnano14]

The softs are trash

[458 Italia]

The cars are so heavy now it takes multiple guys to use the old style jacks to lift the back of the car up.

[458 Italia]

The softs are trash

Everyone else seems to be doing alright on them. My guess is that we're running a different program in this session.

[PURE PASSION]

CL seems to be out of sync at the moment

He did almost the same time on mediums ,in with he was by far the fastest.
We are the ones witch gained so little with softs so probably we tried something different

[458 Italia]

Some sad people out there wearing a shirt covered with Ted kravitz faces and another covered with toto wolf faces.

[458 Italia]

I don't know of any other racing series that use tyre blankets in this day and age. Indy car don't warm the tyres at all and in WEC/Sports car racing they use ovens to keep the tyres in.

[Tifoso Svedese]

They were running that green aero paint on the rear wing on the soft runs and we know from Canada that the Friday engine is massively tuned down as well.

The medium runs make me feel rather calm about it.

[faloupas]

Some sad people out there wearing a shirt covered with Ted kravitz faces and another covered with toto wolf faces.

Its only Friday...Mercedes is far away and they are not going to recover this year.
Our problem is Sundays...

Yes I don't think there's anything to be too concerned about ATM.

[faloupas]

4 factors are important for Ferrari this season
1.Engine reliability
2.Board desicions and strategy
3.Tyre degradation
4.Driver Mistakes
When these things are ok Ferrari wins...
I also expect just for one time to use Cainz in order to help Charles...

[PURE PASSION]

Lec made the best S2 on mediums. Because on his soft tire lap he only managed a better S3.

[wisepie]

The soft tyres were apparently equivalent to the hards in a previous race (Canada, I think) which may explain Charles not setting PBs, also cooler temps. Not happy to see HAM up in P2, though. It's only FP2, and hopefully not wet for quali or race.

[stasera]

any prediction of weather for tomorrow and sunday?

[Tifoso Svedese]

There's a diagonal rain system of modest showers between Exeter and Lincoln with possible extensions to Plymouth and Hull that will go west of the circuit until most of it has cleared out in the afternoon. This weather system will pass over Northamptonshire on its way to obsolescence. So drizzle looks probable, but then again in Northern Europe these kind of showers are often split up in multiple portions with gaps in between due to lower convection than in subtropical climates.

Rain is less likely but possible as drizzle on Sunday. It doesn't look like a sustained rain front is passing over England that day but it's much more split up and lighter amounts if happening.

[gump1480]

any prediction of weather for tomorrow and sunday?

Google says it's going to rain tomorrow and then cloudy the next day... Can't predict though afterall it's UK.

If Mercedes’ suddenly have pace and have a real chance at a podium or win (no RedBull and Ferrari DNF freebies), I will smash every tv in my house and won’t watch another race this year.

[jgonzalesm6]

Northamptonshire Police are saying intel is pointing to protestors storming the Grand Prix on Sunday. These protestors want to boycott the Grand Prix.

Local police is beefing up security around the track.

What do they want? Justice for Hamilton? lol

Joking aside, what is their issue?

[chinmay]

The soft tyres were apparently equivalent to the hards in a previous race

which is why the old naming was better of softs, mediums, hards, supersofts, ultrasofts and hypersofts. The different colors looked great too.

[jgonzalesm6]

Joking aside, what is their issue?

Probably an "antifa" group. This group hates anything and everything capitalistic and government. They want to dismantle everything...... and yet......local police does nothing to them.... at least here in the Oregon area.

[458 Italia]

Looks like it could be Xtension Rebellion although that's pure speculation on my part. I don't know if they've disrupted events before?

[Tifoso Svedese]

Yeah probably some green loonies. Probably went to the same uni as one of our more woke-al members here though :-D

[paolo lalli]

The formula is easy to get Charles back in the game, firstly no engine issues for either driver, secondly any one else other than max to win the race and finally Charles must finish in front of max no if and no buts.Sainz looking strong so a 1 and 2 in any order would be perfect with merc filling in the podium position again 3rd and 4th would be the icing on the cake we can live in hope, we are due for our share of good fortune.

#AMus reports that the Mercedes engineers predict a Ferrari front-row. In the longrun it looks close between Ferrari, RB & Mercedes. Ferrari looked consistent, Mercedes struggles in S1, while Red Bull in S3. RB are the fastest on the straights but Ferrari is just 4 km/h behind.

Mercedes engineers: "If we take the fuel level & the power mode into account, Ferrari is half a second faster than us [one lap]. But Lewis on the mediums and George on the hard tyres are on a par with Ferrari in the longrun."

Mercedes engineer say that the softs are not a race tyre. Pirelli has pumped them up to record levels of 26 PSI at the front & 23 PSI at the rear. Teams fear punctures & prefer to choose the two harder compounds for safety reasons.

[Greig]

Cold and rainy at the track currently.

Correct.

[Gilles]

Our car should be the best on this track and the rain can only give more chance to the other teams, we don’t need it.
Charles couldn’t make his fast lap with new tires yesterday, due to a wrong message on his steering wheel, and he encountered various problems. It was better for Carlos.
Charles said yesterday that he was expecting a wet quali so we’ll have to do well to secure the first row

No. He says it was there yesterday as well, could be the bouncing

I'll be glad when this race is over, its the one race of the year that I dread. Because of the Media and SkyF1. They're constantly bigging it up "best race of the year", "best fans in the world" etc etc. and their love-in with Mercedes/goldenboy has intensified to where it's almost unbearable to watch.

Ideally I'd love a Ferrari 1-2 and then any other car but Merc in 3rd. just to shut them up.

They're constantly bigging it up "best race of the year", "best fans in the world" etc etc. and their love-in with Mercedes/goldenboy has intensified to where it's almost unbearable to watch.

Ideally I'd love a Ferrari 1-2 and then any other car but Merc in 3rd. just to shut them up.

It's annoying and so very predictable that merc have sudden found pace and looking like contenders for this weekend.

Russell team radio "no bouncing"

Wow, wonder how merc magically solved the issue....cheats.

[ferrari1.8t]

It's annoying and so very predictable that merc have sudden found pace and looking like contenders for this weekend.

Yup, and some of the members here were saying early on in the season that merc would never catch up. Looks like they have a shot and pole and a win. Lets see how this weekend plays out as its still early times. However, if these cheating scumbags have cheated their way into contention I will be very upset.

[elnano14]

I don't like this...

Won't be the first time that Merc cheated.

[gump1480]

Come quali....Sainz may get mugged by both Mercs.

[patrese86]

Won't be the first time that Merc cheated.

Hamilton is reporting bouncing.

[nani_s23]

Easy win for Max, unless anything dramatic. Ferrari will be fighting with Mercs tomorrow.
Given Sainz horrible pace.

[RossTheBoss]

Um, wow.

Just dreadful pace.

[PURE PASSION]

If this is our true pace and we are behind RedBull and on par with Mercs, then yes we have failed in the development race. But ill wait for Qualy and most importantly the race. Because we might have lose some Qualy pace to be faster in the race . So we will comment tomorrow afterthe race .

[Aziz]

If this is real pace.....

Word. We'll see if there's anything in the tank for qualifying, but Ferrari typically hide pace.

[Tifoso Svedese]

Silverstone in qualifying trim and in race trim are like two different sports. Just watch Leclerc battering Bottas in race trim last year and staying with the leaders even in 2020. Something tells me Ferrari have gone for a high-downforce set up whereas Red Bull are just sending it and going for a front row lockout. The times Leclerc set on the mediums yesterday in early FP2 were unbelieveable and that's the race tyre for tomorrow.

Having said that, for this to work P2 is a must this afternoon. If we're genuinely this slow and facing being beaten by Hamilton this weekend, no words could describe the contempt I'd feel for the development team of this car :-E This aside, Silverstone really is a Sunday's game. We'll see what happens I guess.

[tifosi1993]

People need to calm down a bit. FP3 isn't Q3. Race is where it matters.

But, we've Charles. I don't think I have to say more.

We've had Charles for the last 3 years.

[gump1480]

What is this new issue with gearbox!!

[Tifoso Svedese]

If we receive a major whipping this weekend I'm starting to doubt whether we'll even win another race this season. All out of a sudden even Austria, Hungary, the Netherlands, Singapore and Mexico don't seem so appealing at that rate.

[RossTheBoss]

Charles reporting an issue with the gearbox....
Just hand the win to Max at this point.

[nani_s23]

Ferrari at PU level has set lower than RedBull: in the fast laps there were 7/8 km / h in favor of the RB18 however the F1-75 is more discharged. Ferrari can optimize on the C3. Mercedes is back more aerodynamically stable and it shows Maybe we will understand more in the race than in QP

@Giuliano Duchessa

[FerrariF60]

This ferrari is falling apart more and more as the sessions progress

Our reliability been shiat, we’re no match for Red Bull reliability

[nani_s23]

The main worry for me is, ferrari didn’t solve porpoising issue yet. Which was expected to be resolved or at-least counter that this weekend.

[nani_s23]

Before FP3 the control unit was replaced (EC n.2) on the PEREZ car

[faloupas]

I don't believe that we r falling apart.
I think Ferrari made a good basic car that they dont know how to upgrade it more .
In engine area obviously we pushed the engine so much after 2020 disaster and that has a reliability cost.
If we dont win this weekend its better to abandon any upgrades and focus on 2023 car.

What's the point, they did not update 2020 and 2021 cars, they focused on this year car.

They put all the resources they had for two years, just to be 46 points behind

I agree with you my friend....if you see my comments.Ferrari is the same story every year ..i said that from the beginning of this season and i was banned as troll!haha
Lets say we support the team and we hope for the best...but we know how it will end.
Lets hope we will have at least a good qualifying session without reliability issues.If we dont get pole,i think 2-3 will be ok .But of course i wouldn't bet my money on Sainz...

[faloupas]

Win first few races in 2023, fall behind, focus on 2024, repeat.

Lets be positive.I will try being positive.But it is so difficult with the results of this team.

[330 p4]

Lets be positive.I will try being positive.But it is so difficult with the results of this team.

Let's see in just over an hour on raw pace, obviously race pace tomorrow as well. Interesting stat came up in P3 was Leclerc lost 0.44 on fastest lap to Verstappen just on the straights which was the entire gap. Someone somewhere else posted that Max turned engine up from FP2 to fp3 but Ferrari have not. If Ferrari are still 0.4 down in quali then that theory is BS but could be the case especially with Ferrari needing to hold back for precaution on engine modes in practices after terrible race failures.

Rain is coming

[458 Italia]

It's looking a bit wet!

[faloupas]

Rain...great...

[PURE PASSION]

In these conditions, we definitely are going to be slower then RedBulls and don't knabout Merc

[Aziz]

Take new engine again

[Aziz]

In these conditions, we definitely are going to be slower then RedBulls and don't knabout Merc

I don't understand our lack of speex in wet, it has been years like that

[stefa]

Will they drive at all, coz we know Pirelli wet weather tires are useless?!?!?

[jgonzalesm6]

Mother nature is the great equalizer.

[458 Italia]

Please don't bin it Charles and Carlos!

[Aziz]

Wolf just said they can beat everyone and everybody now, except Max

[458 Italia]

"best track in the world" Not even close!

[458 Italia]

Carlos seems to be struggling.

[jgonzalesm6]

Track evolution is key.

[WS6TransAm01]

"best track in the world" Not even close!

I LOL’ed really hard when they said that.

[tifosi1993]

One of the best track for sure. Far better than all those middle eastern and American tracks we have now.

[tifosi1993]

Zhou is doing a brilliant job. Far better than Mick surname that's for sure.

[elnano14]

Monza, Silverstone, Suzuka, Spa are the best 4 old classic tracks (plus Interlagos is up there)

[jgonzalesm6]

Monza, Silverstone, Suzuka, Spa are the best 4 old classic tracks (plus Interlagos is up there)

I would agree with that....great track list.

[Aziz]

2 sec of pace

[stefa]

Red Bull is faster... And CS is useless

[Aziz]

Red Bull is faster... And CS is useless

Completely, an RB is a faster and better car

If Ham beats us, my TV is in danger

[tifosi1993]

Track is now fully wet. Not suitable for Inters.

[PURE PASSION]

Max is untouchable

[jgonzalesm6]

Max is untouchable

sssshhhhhhhhh........you'll be labeled a Max-lover here by some.

[jgonzalesm6]

Okay, Latifi in the top 10??????? What????.......but but how????.....and Albon's car has the upgrades and his doesn't.

[faloupas]

Completely, an RB is a faster and better car

How do you say that?What are your sources?:lol
At least i hope we will be infront of Mercedes.If one or two Mercedes will be infront of us would be catastrophic.
Max by far the best driver in wet at the moment.

[PURE PASSION]

sssshhhhhhhhh........you'll be labeled a Max-lover here by some.

It's so frustrating to watch him on each pass to lower the time by 0,5 to 1s !!!!! I understand that the track evolve lap by lap (until it started raining again) but on their last lap ,Lec and Max was close o the same lap (so identical track conditions) and Lec finished the lap 1st just for Ves to take the first place 5 sec later lowering the time 0,6s!!!!!

[PURE PASSION]

I'm not comparing Max to Lec simply because they are on different cars. It's just the combination

[jgonzalesm6]

I saw that....but not going to give Max kudos here on this forum...especially on these wet conditions and track evolution.

[elnano14]

Yeah, Max always has that +0.5s in the rain , so frustrating

[RossTheBoss]

Very frustrating that the car isn't there in the wet it seems.

[faloupas]

Max spins...And of course he is lucky too...

[tifosi1993]

HOLY HELL!

[458 Italia]

Charles spun :ouch

[stefa]

Not bad, not bad at all!!

[tifosi1993]

SAINZ POLE! VAMOS!

[458 Italia]

Carlos pole!

[patrese86]

Well done carlito!!

[faloupas]

Ok Ferrari...this is the wrong driver...hahaha...
Good job Carlos...dont screw it tomorrow....

[Tifoso Svedese]

Wow Carlos from nowhere!

At least we have something to work with tomorrow with a 1-3 now. Will be very hard to beat Verstappen tomorrow.

[drax]

Great job Carlos !!!

[PURE PASSION]

At least we took pole with SAINZ !!!!!
THANKS CARLOS !!!!!

[WS6TransAm01]

Where did that come from!?

Good job Carlos!

[458 Italia]

He sounds thrilled!!

[tifosi1993]

sssshhhhhhhhh........you'll be labeled a Max-lover here by some.

You were cheering when Max was overtaking Ferrari. I guess you're quite down now.

Ferrari P1-P3! This is for all you numpties out there.

[stefa]

Congrats CS!!! :clap

[PURE PASSION]

Not bad in the rain!!!
Pretty close with Max

[jgonzalesm6]

Great job Sainz!!!

Track evolution benefited him.

[Aziz]

If dry, I believe we can be fast if not fasterthenRB

[PURE PASSION]

THIS Sainz is what we need!!!!

[stefa]

I hope tomorrow I tune on after race I will have big smile. Unfortunately I won't be watching, as I am flying to London!

[330 p4]

Take new engine again

Good advice

[tifosi1993]

All the naysayers can just ******* already. This thread is full of their garbage opinions.

[elnano14]

Big brain from Leclerc, honestly Pole and P3 from clean side is pretty good

[330 p4]

Sure

[PURE PASSION]

Great job Sainz!!!

Track evolution benefited him.

Well Lec and Max was right behind him ,so this lap was actually all down to him managing to put every single corner in the perfect way!!!

[jgonzalesm6]

You were cheering when Max was overtaking Ferrari. I guess you're quite down now.

Ferrari P1-P3! This is for all you numpties out there.

I "cheered" (as you put it) when Perez overtook a Ferrari........or did you forget already???

Let's see how the race goes tomorrow with Ferrari with regards to race pace and tire strategy.

[330 p4]

Betcha can

[RossTheBoss]

There's the Carlos Sainz we saw last year! Congrats to him! Amazing lap!

:ferrarifl:ferrarifl

[330 p4]

Nah

[330 p4]

?????

[jgonzalesm6]

Well Lec and Max was right behind him ,so this lap was actually all down to him managing to put every single corner in the perfect way!!!

agreed. Had there been more time, track evolution would have benefited other drivers. Again, great job by Sainz in quali.

Hahahahahaha and hahahaha

[faloupas]

Its a sad feeling that with all these poles we are losing both championships easily... nevertheless there is a small hope!Small but its there...
Please no mistakes tomorrow...no goofy desicions...and remember that car no 16 needs more points... actually Charles needs the win.

[330 p4]

Whoops in the excitement my replies to the doom mongers didnt quote them.

[WS6TransAm01]

All the Brits booing Max lol.

I would have loved for him to turn to the crowd, give them the finger and say over the mic “your queen looks like a man!”

Drop the mic and walk away.

[faloupas]

Hahahahahaha and hahahaha

I had to bet on Sainz!hahaha

[Tifoso Svedese]

Big brain from Leclerc, honestly Pole and P3 from clean side is pretty good

When the track's a river on Saturday there's no such thing as a clean side though. It's the outside line now pure and simple. Will be very important to get the launch right.

Pathetic but not surprised.

Max would have been on pole, if Lec did not spun and triggerd yellow flags. It's good to have a little bit of perspective, don't be blind and stupid it's not good for you darling

btw, Max lifted because of the Leclerc spin....hence why Sainz was P1.

[tifosi1993]

To all those who consider me and some other users as trolls or other team supporters,i would like to say that we all support the same team.
Everyone express his support on his way .You dont have to be rude with us...if you dont like us,just dont reply on us,or ignore us.
There is no point in fighting each other after a good result .

Well ,you are not wrong. We have some decent pace ,but Max looked about 0,3 faster. His S1 and S3 was so fast.

[jgonzalesm6]

Don't you realize that your beloved Max isn't on pole?:rotfl

"Mr. Untouchable" had all the time in the world to put it on the pole but couldn't.

Track evolution was key. Sainz timed it perfectly. If Leclerc did'nt spin. it's highly possible Max would have gotten pole. So no truth then in watching the video then....got it.

I haven't ever talked big about other drivers / teams ,but today Ves looked the fastest I every single lap. Yes Carlos took pole and I'm pretty happy about it but if it wast for Lec to spun I front of him (and ruined Max lap ) ,pro8he would be on pole . I'm talking about pure pace ..
If it was the opposite, all here would say that we where the fastest and we lost pole . But it looked closer to him under conditions like this.

Unfortunately this is the truth.

Times after sector 2 on the last Q3 laps (before Charles’ spin):

VER 72.596
Carlos 72.707 (+0.111)
Charles 73.134 (+0.538)

Max then found yellow flags at the start of his sector 3 and lifted.

[jgonzalesm6]

Why would this so called Mr. Untouchable need perfect track condition for pole? :rotfl

God, you're so upset of Charles spinning which supposedly denied your Idol the pole position. :lol

You're obviously acting childess. I never said anything your inferencing and I'm not upset at Leclerc for spinning . You have the sector times of Max with the Leclerc spin......and you can see Max lifted in one of those sectors......OH WAIT......you posted it on a previous post. :roll

[jgonzalesm6]

Unfortunately this is the truth.

Wow....thank-you for that truthful information.

Anyways, great job by Sainz......for the 3rd time.

Guys calm down.

We needed luck & we got it … else it was looking like Max on pole quite comfortable.

Good job by Sainz & Leclerc in these tricky conditions.

Max was lucky oh boy…. He spun & was able to put it on track.

Correcting my post: Max S2 was down by some margin. Not sure whether he could have taken the pole.

Yeah...proclaiming someone as "untouchable" isn't childish at all. Even when the end result proves it otherwise. :lol

Shoulda/Woulda/Coulda is a nice thing. Guess what, if had it not been for the 2 engine failures and dumb pit call, Charles would've won Spain, Monaco and Baku easily and wouldn't have to take a PU penalty in Canada. We can all play that game but the reality will stay the same.

People on this forum get frustrated or criticize the Scuderia when they foul up.....just like you on some of your posts when the Scuderia fouls up.

You re not gonna be understood by them.If you resist they re gonna ask you to leave,and then ban you if you dont.:-s
But as i said before lets stop flighting each other and celebrate the pole ..maybe tomorrow we will get the win.No matter what everyone believes.

Congratulations to Carlos on his pole and good luck to our team tomorrow! Qualifying is done and it's now time for old ladies to
stop beating up on each other and put their handbags away please;)

[Alonsomaniac]

I wonder what will happen tomorrow......what will Ferrari do if Max overtakes Sainz and Sainz can't keep up with him......will they leave Charles behind Carlos or will they use teamorders? Can be an important moment for all...Leclerc, Sainz and the team.

I think let Charles pass is the right desicion.
We ve seen everything from this team in the past...i wouldnt be surprised if they destroy Charles race.Lets hope they wont.
I know its Carlos first pole and first real chance for a win,but if he cant stay with Max,team has to help the driver who has a shot for the tittle.

[Ferrarichamp]

well done Carlos, hoping for a win tomorrow.

[wisepie]

Very happy for Carlos and with Charles starting P3, we are in with a chance of a decent result. Reliability is the worry and race pace against RB questionable, but in those quali conditions, anything could have happened. Good job by both drivers and hoping for a dry race.

We agree. I think that if Ferrari still wants Charles to have a shot at the title, the decision cab only be letting Charles pass. And the scenario is quite realistic. If I was Binotto, I would sit down with both drivers this evening and discuss it. Carlos won't be happy at all with it, but he will understand. That is way better than just order him during the race.

[Brembo]

Carlos on pole is Ferrari on pole! A Carlos win will be a Ferrari win!

[Liscia]

Carlos on pole is Ferrari on pole! A Carlos win will be a Ferrari win!

I agree - points are points whoever earns them for Ferrari and Carlos deserves a fair shake.
