felipe's quite far down the order... i wonder why. are there any differences between their ( ferrari cars ) set ups?

**Kingdom Hearts** · 27th August 2010, 11:20

Felipe, let's say is not one of the best driver under rain, but we really don't know anything about fuel load or set ups.

He didn't spin as far as I'm aware so quit the bashing.

**Katu** · 27th August 2010, 11:29

yeah he didn't spin, but he didn't do not a single mistakefree lap too, as much as i saw...

**Paulpg87** · 27th August 2010, 11:39

rain.. good race to watch but damn.. i want ferrari to win and when it comes down to rain it's always a sh** for us. Hope in some good luck and no mistakes from pits.

**voiko** · 27th August 2010, 11:45

can anyone confirm we are using older front wing now?

**Grillo** · 27th August 2010, 12:04

I didn't want a wet weekend.

Alonso looked strong, Hamilton and Vettel weren't far behind.

Let's see what Spa 2010 bring us. [I miss a praying emoticon]

More info from FA:

Good feeling with the new aero pack of F10, however, with the rain it is impossible to draw conclusions from what they have earned.
Not yet tried the new fuel and other improvements to the engine to not interfere with the aero tests. Nor have tried all the aerodynamic developments, the rain is still a major problem.

Ferrari are very happy with downforce, you only have to watch S2 timings (from Alonso). Alonso was with a new rear wing, Massa with the old.

Does this confirm the fuel upgrade? Strange that I haven't found this anywhere else tho...

**gvsnraju85** · 27th August 2010, 12:58

Another line of heavy showers and storms is approaching from the west, but these are expected to miss the circuit to the south as the afternoon wears on. However, directly in the circuit's path are some light showers that may keep the circuit damp for a while yet.

Track conditions for the drivers will most certainly be tricky, but in any brief sunny spells between the showers, we could see a top temperature of 18 or maybe 19 degrees Celsius.

Still wet. Don't think there will be much running with limited wet tyres.

**Sempre_Ferrari** · 27th August 2010, 13:02

2 min: Much of the standing water has drained away, meaning intermediates could be an option if the teams do want the drivers to push for a time.

Hispania's Karun Chandhok on the Red Button: "Mercedes have arguably the best engine in the pit-lane and this could be their chance to really try to drag themselves on the podium. They have had a difficult season but Nico Rosberg is driving really well and he could be a surprise here with that Mercedes power."
