It's gonna be a wet weekend.

[Liscia]

Just outpoint benz please!

[Brembo]

Just outpoint benz please!

Better yet a Ferrari 1,2 ! Either one of our drivers take the win over Max.

[wisepie]

Better yet a Ferrari 1,2 ! Either one of our drivers take the win over Max.

Even out-pointing Merc would be a win in my eyes, and take Sergio out too and that would be worth a celebration! I'm not holding my breath.:pray

[aroutis]

I wonder, if Lewis (God forbid !) wins at brazil, will they have the brazilian anthem instead of the british one? Question? :D

[Liscia]

I'd prefer he didn't, after all Glock isn't there to help him.....

[stasera]

if max's car doesn't stop working probably he will win the race. this year max didn't involve in a crash. maybe, its because we couldn't push them enough and they raced without pressure. if max crashes then lewis would have a bit chance of winning. but I give his winning %10

[Brembo]

I wonder, if Lewis (God forbid !) wins at brazil, will they have the brazilian anthem instead of the british one? Question? :D

The Brasilian anthem with Sheila Carvallo dancing Samba on the podium!!!!! :rotfl

[wisepie]

There seems little interest in this weekend's GP and if Lewis or Merc win I will be even less interested and will be quite pleased to see the end of this season, given what we had and threw it away. I hope we have managed to get our engine back to full power although the weather may well play a part. We can but hope for the best outcome, even if it is damage limitation again.

[tifosi1993]

After a long time, the car looked good today. It looked quite hooked up in slow speed corners. Which was our strength this year, up until SPA.

Carlos taking a 5 place grid penalty for a new ICE, only applies to the actual GP so his sprint start will stand from where he qualifies. All very tight at the top in FP1, Charles' speed trap much slower than those around him, though.

Did they change the rules or something? Last year Lewis took an engine penalty and it applied to the Sprint Race.

[stefa]

Heavy rain approaching

[wisepie]

I thought that too but according to GP Today it won't apply to the sprint race, just the actual GP, but I'm not convinced this is correct either!:-??

[Greig]

In Brazil? He got DQ from qual so started at the back in sprint, then took a penalty for the race for engine.

[stefa]

Wet, but not raining

[stefa]

Inters on

[stefa]

More rain in 10 minutes

[WS6TransAm01]

Holy hell Ferrari is a joke. Can’t figure out what tires to put on Charles’ car.

What a bunch of clowns.

[stefa]

Again confusion in Ferrari box

[stefa]

This was scary

[WS6TransAm01]

What a joke.

Charles only car on inters.

[stefa]

What a joke.

Charles only car on inters.

And why I am not surprised it was a wrong choice??!!?!?

[Greig]

LOL at the inters....now red flag and raining so session over.

[WS6TransAm01]

Hahahahaha

No the rain will come and Charles will be stuck in the rain when everyone set times in the dry. What a joke.

[Greig]

Charles is pretty unhappy.....Haas on pole lol

[stefa]

What a joke!

[stefa]

Is there anything these clowns can do right!!!!

[Greig]

LOL Russell

[stefa]

I feel really bad for this kid. Ferrari is ruining him.... And I am ONLY team supporter

[stefa]

LOL Russell

He is at least 3rd!

[Greig]

Session restarting doubt anyone can improve now though, awesome job Ferrari.

[WS6TransAm01]

Charles is pretty unhappy.....Haas on pole lol

Where is that quote of Charles saying that the Pit Wall has improved? Ahahahahaha

Kid, jump ship. You will never win with Ferrari.

[drax]

Another masterclass

[Greig]

Least we have the sprint to make up the places.

[Greig]

Charles on the pitwall not a happy sight.

[stefa]

The guys will NEVER win anything!!! I am sad as a Ferrari supporter saying this, but that is the truth. It hurts, but better to hurt than to live in denial and thinking they will improve and win! THEY WILL NEVER!!!

[458 Italia]

Well that went well...

[stefa]

HAAS 1st and last!

[WS6TransAm01]

Is there still any delusional person on this forum who is willing to defend Binotto? Tell us how he doesn’t deserve to get booted out of the team RIGHT NOW?

[stasera]

Thats weird. If rb thinks to replace perez with charles, he should accept it. the only way for him to be champion is this

[SS454]

It is shocking how useless Ferrari is and how they continue to find ways to royally screw up.

Congrats to Haas and KMag. A feel good story to the season.

George Russell is massively overrated, and yet is still ahead of Hamilton.

[JPZ]

At least that's another pole position on the record books for a Ferrari-powered car :-??

Every race weekend Ferrari are making mistakes, it's only been getting worse from the beginning of the year.

Leclerc was visibly annoyed when walking away on the pitwall, not sure how much of this he can take, if it goes this bad next year as well, he'll probably be looking for other options. He told Elkann he expects a title competitive car in 2023 (and not 2026), so next year is make or break, for him and possibly the current leadership structure.

[Greig]

Is there still any delusional person on this forum who is willing to defend Binotto? Tell us how he doesn’t deserve to get booted out of the team RIGHT NOW?

Errrr he is not even there.....

[JPZ]

On the plus side, Hamilton and Perez also did not qualify well.

Hopefully Leclerc can get them in the sprint race.

[Alonsomaniac]

And still I understand what Ferrari was doing. They only did it the wrong way around and that is plain stupid. Sainz already had a penalty, so why not try the inters on his car? If it didn't work, it could only cost him 5 places. Charles could lose 10 places and still they took the gamble with him. And he lost ten places.
Who the hell is coming up with those ideas?

Exactly!!!

[Cavallino]

this

but it's fine, there's plenty of rain in the forecast and a sprint tomorrow.

we should only be sad because yet again, when our car looks decent, we have rain ruining things like in Monaco.

i thought the same when i saw lec in the inters

[ferrari1.8t]

Just saw the session results. Pure incompetence? Or Ferrari doing their best again to make sure Carlos Santander is ahead of Charles?

Either way, this team has been a complete clown show this year. Starting to wonder if Ferrari will ever get their act together. 15 plus years and nothing accomplished…there is always the next rule cycle in 2026 right Ferrari?

[nani_s23]

Errrr he is not even there.....

He’s still the TP for Ferrari.

[ferrari1.8t]

This shows the incompetence of Ferrari…Carlos has a penalty, you should prioritize your driver who has a shot at pole. Unbelievable. Never seen an F1 team support such a slow driver as they do with Carlos.

https://twitter.com/fanaticsferrari/status/1591181081880846336?s=21

[Greig]

He’s still the TP for Ferrari.

You think he decided that today? he is not there blame those who are.

[Riccardog]

You think he decided that today? he is not there blame those who are.

oh, Greig, he is the one who has spewed that the ferrari strategy team are all great and not to be touched

[ferrari1.8t]

Ferrari recording record profits, yet need to bow down to santander and their requests to try and have a Spanish race winner/champion. Embarrassing.

It’s obvious the conflict to favour Carlos has been causing them mistakes and embarrassments all season.

[brucewayne]

They go with the slower driver, do they really think Sainz has anything to offer? He is no match to Max, he is even the slowest Nr. 2 Driver. Nothing special, only win thanks to the incompetence of Ferrari. Mekies should get fired, just for the explanation today. What a joke this team is.

Let’s be clear, everything they care about is how many cars they have sold this year. No mindset, no vision, no request for greatness. It seems being average is the main goal. Laughing stock!

[nani_s23]

You think he decided that today? he is not there blame those who are.

Please think properly, every time this strategy team is making mistakes & binotto is backing them up saying it’s not a mistake. Is that correct?

You expect binotto as leader take some action & come out with a answer which assures that this doesn’t get repeated. Instead he says there’s no change required. Is that acceptable?

Why only Charles leclerc is getting these kind of strategy calls?

[ntukza]

I wonder, if Lewis (God forbid !) wins at brazil, will they have the brazilian anthem instead of the british one? Question? :D

Fascinating how you guys are still obsessing over Lewis.

[wisepie]

Couldn't believe what I was seeing with Charles the only one on inters, he was definitely an unhappy bunny, yet again he has been screwed by the team. I despair. With luck he may be able to retrieve something in the sprint race and actual GP to keep Merc and Perez at bay but the strategists will probably mess that up too.:-E

It's like Ferrari is trying hard to fudge up their drivers intentionally!!!

[ntukza]

I've never seen a more useless team. Ever.

[brucewayne]

Same old people, same old mistakes. There are serious changes that need to be addressed in the offseason. Charles needs a new Race Engineer, as soon as possible. The way Ferrari mistreats their best driver week after week, it has to stop. Ferrari needs to get to the top of F1, that is the main priority. We demand excellence in F1!

[Warp]

Embarrassing. The team need restructure before the new season begins

[jgonzalesm6]

Charles onboard during qualifying and the massive ****-up by this team.....que the Benny Hill theme song. :-E :-E :-E :roll :roll :ouch

https://twitter.com/Aldas001/status/1591347999745409024?cxt=HHwWgIDU7eGkzZUsAAAA

[F2008]

At least they didn't put Charles on full wets...

But honestly, I don't see how he can become world champion with these people on the pit wall, even if he would have the outright fastest car.

[racingbradley]

These guys would brake hammer! That is how pathetic and stupid they are!! Absolute CLOWNS!!!

[wisepie]

It's like Ferrari is trying hard to fudge up their drivers intentionally!!!

In particular it seems to be Charles who suffers most from these incomprehensible decisions, his frustration is becoming very evident and who can blame him. Sack 'em all springs to mind, otherwise Charles will jump.

Embarrassing. This is what Vettel meant to Charles when he told him no to waste his talent.

[WS6TransAm01]

Errrr he is not even there.....

Errr he’s in charge of the team. He places people in the roles. Those people fail. He doesn’t replace them.

He doesn’t eeeerrrr have to be there eeeeeerrrrrrr to have caused yet another failure eeeeeerrrrrrrrr

[stefa]

Like, sadly, many more before him. Mansell, Prost, Alesi, Alonso, Vettel....

[FerrariF60]

Like, sadly, many more before him. Mansell, Prost, Alesi, Alonso, Vettel....

Totally agree
Don’t know if it’s a rumor or not, but someone has mentioned that Elkan has talked to Charles and they expect to mount a challenge for the championship by 2026....if that is true I’m sure the kid will be out of this useless team before that and personally I wouldn’t blame him one bit

Charles will leave 2024 if we don’t make a turnaround next year.

Although they are clowns, and supposed to be funny, this is painful!

[wisepie]

What on earth is going on? FP2 sees Carlos P11 and Charles P13 on a dry track, I really think the team as a whole, including the drivers, have given up. Tomorrow is supposed to be wet, so maybe they've decided to turn down the engines again, or focusing on long runs for the actual GP? God help us in the sprint race shortly.

Where is he going? Ferrari is his only real chance of a title.

[RossTheBoss]

Where is he going? Ferrari is his only real chance of a title.

:lol:lol The team that can't find it's ass with both hands is his only chance?

Uh, no. Charles will go to Mercedes for a title if he has to, as soon as the latter decide to put Hamilton out to pasture.

[Greig]

Merc will take from their own driver pool I imagine, Red Bull ain't gonna want him, so where is he going to win a title?

It’s evident that, even though you if you have a strong car in coming seasons … we can’t win championships with this clown show.

[RossTheBoss]

Merc will take from their own driver pool I imagine, Red Bull ain't gonna want him, so where is he going to win a title?
What driver pool? They have no rising stars. Russel is not championship material and they know it. Leclerc has shown he's the only person on Max's level. They'll want him, and put Hamilton out if next year doesn't go well for the latter.

Leclerc's star is rising. The whole paddock knows it. Ferrari will lose him if the circus doesn't end next year. Mark my words.

[nani_s23]

Better drive for Haas or Sauber-Audi atleast they have better strategists & TP.

[Greig]

Yeah he will certainly have a great chance of titles at either of those teams.

You know their young driver pool? Lewis is unlikley to be going anywhere soon, we have Marko in the media stating Charles makes too many mistakes so not sure the whole paddock sees it your way. You seem to think he is bigger than Ferrari or something.

[nani_s23]

Yeah he will certainly have a great chance of titles at either of those teams.

What is ge achieving now staying at Ferrari. ??

[Greig]

Nothing, there is no reason to drive for Ferrari in F1.

If Charles leaves Ferrari should never race again.

Where was marko when Max was named as Crashtappen

Still at Red Bull I believe and seen far enough in the future to stick with Max.

[nani_s23]

Ferrari in F1 is much more than racing. They are here to win or at least compete.
We became laughing stocks in the paddock in the last 3 years. How many mistakes we gonna make?

Are you confident even if maranello team produces a strong car through out the season can they win a championship with this pit wall ?

[nani_s23]

Still at Red Bull I believe and seen far enough in the future to stick with Max.

Because Max was that aggressive in demanding what he need & banking on his talent. RB was completely behind him. Hence you can see the output.

Ferrari is competing at the top end of the sport for many many years, and yes strategy is a whole lot easier when you have the faster car.

[WS6TransAm01]

You prob did not know he was not there, it's ok.

His presence is irrelevant, dumb dumb. He organized the team and is ultimately responsible for their mistakes as well as accomplishments.

Keep simping for Binotto because you can’t admit you’re wrong.

I am wrong by saying he is not there? so he is there? What a simpleton you are.

Why don't you blame Elkan?

CL is nowhere

[stefa]

On the other hand CS is doing great

[Greig]

Charles finally ahead of Ocon

[WS6TransAm01]

Why don't you blame Elkan?

Lol. Love the deflection.

No, as usual you are wrong in trying to defend Binotto by saying yet another strategic failure is not his fault.

It’s Elian’s fault for not firing Binotto. It’s Binotto’s fault for the constant failures. It’s your fault for having a room temperature IQ.

[stefa]

Our race pace is aweful

Yep deserves a penalty for that one.

[WS6TransAm01]

Not what I said, see you are confused again.

Hahahahahaha

Keep simping, sweetie.

[patrese86]

Charles will get 6th. So demoralising this.

[Greig]

Max under pressure

[Greig]

Hahahahahaha

Keep simping, sweetie.

Do you want a crayon?

[WS6TransAm01]

Do you want a crayon?

Nah, you ate them all, Tinkerbell.

[Greig]

Good racing Max and Russell, Sainz closing up to them also.

[Greig]

Merc ahead and Sainz under pressure from Lewis now.

[stefa]

This could be God forbid, Mercedes 1-2

[Greig]

Charles into P6, Max said he hit debris.

[Greig]

Stroll 10 seconds pen.

[stefa]

And we ware laughing at Mercedes at the beginning of this season. Look where are they now, and where are we?!?!

[Greig]

And we ware laughing at Mercedes at the beginning of this seasob. Look where are they now, and where are we?!?!

They have kept developing, we never.

[SilverSpeed]

If we lose P2 in WCC I'm gonna be very very very disappointed.

[Greig]

Sainz can get Max.

[Greig]

Sainz sends it on Max, bit of contact.

[SilverSpeed]

All da time time you hava to leava da space Max...

[Greig]

Max down to P4.

[Greig]

Sainz says tyres going.

[stefa]

Aweful pace

[stefa]

CL invisible

[Greig]

P2 and P6, Merc will be strong tomorrow and Carlos is too weak to race them.

[patrese86]

Meh.

Leclerc was actually closing a bit on Perez so maybe he was managing his tyres early on. Gives me a slither of hope that he can do something tomorrow.

[Greig]

Oh forgot Sainz has a penalty.....

[Schumiklub]

Oh forgot Sainz has a penalty.....

Charles is our only hope for tomorrow. He managed the tires well. He would have passed Perez if he had had a few more laps.

[nani_s23]

Mercs are back ?? This is how you develop the car. They found root cause & now picking up race by race.

[nani_s23]

Tomorrow gonna be epic duel

Russel vs Ham vs Max vs Perez vs Leclerc -> Top5

[nani_s23]

I feel max will win tomorrow. He has much more pace on Softs than mediums.

[stefa]

I feel max will win tomorrow. He has much more pace on Softs than mediums.

I also think than. And Ferrari will be nowhere

[Greig]

Wonder if the Red Bull fans are frothing with rage at them starting Max on the mediums?

[nani_s23]

I also think than. And Ferrari will be nowhere

Yeah they will play with Charles on the strategy.

[nani_s23]

Wonder if the Red Bull fans are frothing with rage at them starting Max on the mediums?

He had damage & still finished 4th. Which mean 3rd tmrw & still has the potential to win tmrw given their quick strategies & pace.

What about our Ferrari car?

[Greig]

Not such great strategy today though, our car has not been developed any more not sure why you find it a shock still?

[nani_s23]

Not such great strategy today though, our car has not been developed any more not sure why you find it a shock still?

Developing the car is not anymore a problem for me.

I’m scared of Ferrari strategists now. First our basics should be right ya?

Imagine if Leclerc qualified higher & this sprint race between Mercs vs RB vs Ferrari.

It could have been leclerc leading the race today & tmrw.

Ah so only counts if its Charles for you?

Charles started right with a Merc and Red Bull also you know.....

[ferrari1.8t]

Utter failure from Ferrari this year. Mercedes took a tractor and found nearly 2 seconds. We took a race winning car and went backwards; instead of battling for wins, we are battling with which tires to put on. I’m all for stability, but changes need to be made. This is unacceptable.

I have zero confidence for next year. It will be a fight between Merc and RedBull while we figure out ways to screw Charles even more.

[nani_s23]

Ah so only counts if its Charles for you?

Charles started right with a Merc and Red Bull also you know.....

Sainz will not match Ham/Max & leclerc

[ferrari1.8t]

When was it ever developed? Or when have our developments worked?

[Greig]

When was it ever developed? Or when have our developments worked?

Seemed to be working pretty well up till Spa.....

[nani_s23]

Why there wasn’t black & white flag for Max on his FW damage?

I assume Haas got penalty last race or so for the same?

[SS454]

Why there wasn’t black & white flag for Max on his FW damage?

I assume Haas got penalty last race or so for the same?

Probably because it fell off almost immediately.

[ferrari1.8t]

Seemed to be working pretty well up till Spa.....

Then our leaders should have pushed back against the TD. They knew what it would do to us, yet Binotto still denies it.

[jgonzalesm6]

Max ran with the mediums during the sprint race today so he can have an extra set of softs tomorrow.

Expect a masterclass strategy from Hannah Schmitz at tomorrows race.

5 place for Sainz. He starts P7 tomorrow and Leclerc starts P5.

I don’t what what’s more impressive, how Merc advanced their performance of how Ferrari retarded theirs?

Max ran with the mediums during the sprint race today so he can have an extra set of softs tomorrow.

Expect a masterclass strategy from Hannah Schmitz at tomorrows race.

That’s the reason I said, max can win tomorrow on true pace.
Perez with DRS 343km/h that’s insane.

By the way it was good race from Carlos.

He was having good pace, although at the end his tyres were done. Ferrari still struggling on tyres.

5 place for Sainz. He starts P7 tomorrow and Leclerc starts P5.

Good sprint race from Carlos and at least Charles got up to P6, shame about the 5-place grid drop for Carlos and the thought of a Merc 1-2 fills me with dread, it could happen and Ferrari should be ashamed of their inadequate 'development', it doesn't inspire confidence for 2023 without a major re-think of procedures.

Utter failure from Ferrari this year. Mercedes took a tractor and found nearly 2 seconds. We took a race winning car and went backwards; instead of battling for wins, we are battling with which tires to put on. I’m all for stability, but changes need to be made. This is unacceptable.

I have zero confidence for next year. It will be a fight between Merc and RedBull while we figure out ways to screw Charles even more.

Agree 100%.

We will of course be told to 'go support another team!' - by dweebs who weren't even a twinkle in the eye when I started following Ferrari in 1979..

Spare a thought for this old fossil, then, I've supported Ferrari since 1967 and should know better by now, more downs than ups, sadly!:roll
