I hope Massa has an awesome start, passes Alonso and takes the fight to Vettel!!

Go Felipe!!!

[Italian Spirit]

I wonder what Charlie Whiting & Friends will come up with on Sunday to damage Ferrari.

[racingbradley]

I hope Stefano puts Massa on a leash tomorrow and makes sure he doesnt get in Alonso's way because if he does Vettel will just drive away. Being 0.5 off his team mate he does not have the right to block Alonso tomorrow im afraid, or the team. I pray Alonso just gets a good start for once.

It was obvious at the press conference that Massa wasn't pleased with his own performance and expected better. Didn't he make a mistake in the first sector??????
Well done both drivers.
Well done Ferrari. Good luck to-morrow.

I only want Massa to win, dont want alonso to dnf or have problems, Massa has had a bit of a rough patch recently and a win would be good for him and the team..

I said nothing wrong :(

someone is dreaming in the LA, LA land....Massa was lucky to get 3rd due to Webber's mistake....
he's still more then HALF a second down Alonso...
so i guess that by having Alonso in a Ferrari is true....he is bringing close to 6 tenths to Ferrari....and this is not just luck....is SKILL my friend!!!!!!

[Ken]

i hope we can beat them fair and square....because if their reliability is at stake, then someone could say that we only WON the race due to their problems....and if it wasnt' for that....BLAH, BLAH, BLAH...

you know how what i mean...

Yes, Webber made a mistake. And Felipe didn't, so he got third. He drove better when it mattered. Given the close results of the practice sessions there's no telling he couldn't have gotten third anyway.

Honestly, it was our best qualifying in ages; you'd think everyone would be happy, regardless.

Anyone have any info in the Speed traps. I noticed yesterday in practice that the Mercedes was about 10kph down on the McLaren. How are we doing in relation to the RedFools?

So you don't think your comments would cause division within the forum here to support Ferrari? you are not as dumb as you try to let on, why did you not praise the team instead you seek out a way to antagonise other fans, as per usual

[FerrariF60]

Suzie, dont' get me wrong....i'm more then happy to see that both our drivers are finally showing some real performance due to the latest upgrades we've had...
and am happy for Massa that he's doing the best he can for the result he achieved today in quali....

but im just saying that Alonso is really showing his TRUE talent....that's all....

[Effone]

That was not my intention at all.. I just want Massa to have a really good race.. I think him coming 2nd to Alonso would still upset him a little. but whatever. I'm sorry if I upset anyone, not what I posted for.. enjoy the race

Even if I'm accused of being a fanboy, I think there's merit in your comment. It is in Ferrari's best interests to achieve both the WCC and WDC, and the WCC is looking very very difficult at the moment, their greatest chance of success is probably on the WDC hunt, so Alonso being denied big points by ending 3rd instead of 2nd could be very bad, it's not like they have any room for wasting points being so much behind Hamilton and only having at best equal cars to RB.
That being said, the best would be for them to go all out at the start trying not to take each other out while defending/attacking the best they can, and then somehow Alonso passing him safely during the race, and I don't think he needs the team to do that for him, nor Massa deserves the humiliation.

Meh, don't care anyway as long as neither a McLaren driver or their team gets either of the championships, even if I would burst with joy if Alonso gets his well deserved third title.

This seems so Alonso-centered forum nowadays so don't worry about it. I too hope that Felipe passes him in the start since he is getting the clean side and then manages to grab the victory for team cause he really needs success to boost his motivation.

[slither]

Great performance, great improvement. I hope we get a 1-2 tomorrow, doesn't matter Fernando or Felipe wins, but a Fernando win will be better as he has more chance for the title than Felipe.

By the way 0.002 seconds close to RBR is a great result, hope we can continue this performance.

Ferrari forum, wishing bad luck on one of our drivers for your own personal reasons is just being silly I doubt Massa needs to win to boost his motivation, Ferrari could do with a win, I will take a win no matter what driver it is How sad is it that we have 2-3 on the grid and here we are arguing about who we want to win and who we don't want to win, how about we just enjoy the great performance today and hope it transfers to a successful race for Ferrari.....

I believe such statement is not welcome here, regardless if its about Alonso or Massa
Its what, according to internet slangs, a "flame bait". Provocative (in a bad way ) statement that will only lead to more argument

[theodorus8864]

We definitely has no rights to talk about preference on either Alonso or Massa. Dude, we are not even close to WDC and WCC!!! For now both drivers and the whole team ONLY need to focus to make up points lost during several races behind. And for sure Alonso and Massa gotta put aside personal grudge. Save it until we are way too dominant for the remaining races.

I too only wish a Ferrari victory, but it seems that your only allowed to cheer for the designated driver here. Which is sad. I actually don't care if the drivers were trained monkeys if they would bring 1-2s for Ferrari

[aroutis]

I hope Massa has an awesome start, passes Alonso and takes the fight to Vettel!!

Go Felipe!!!

Well I don't know, I'd rather have an 1/2 in RED , doesn't matter who will be #1.

[slither]

In 2007 I was cheering for Kimi during the last races of the season, and in 2008 I was cheering for Felipe, while they were running for WDC.

If a Ferrari driver is close to WDC then I support that driver, until then I do not prefer supporting drivers, only Ferrari matters for me.

But some people even change the team they support for the drivers. One year they come to the GP in Ferrari red and the next year Mercedes grey. Drivers always change, and one day retire, but teams exist.

[LAROSA SpA]

Ferrari per sempre, & the drivers race for the team.

I'm hoping for a FERRARI 1-2 in any order

Here's to a good race tomorrow

[eriknaa]

So nice to see our Ferrari up front again, good to see both cars, but i really hope felipe can take the challenge to seb tommorow, after a stunning quali lap
A Shame for Michael, that Merc realy does not function this year.
Going to be a great race tommorow

Forza FERRARI
