You see Virginia, there is a Santa Claus! I knew there was something to him wearing Red!

Ciao!

Forza Ferrari!!!!

[alluri84]

you forgot: THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

[Suzie]

Probably best to wait until after the race tomorrow to celebrate. No points for this

[Dino]

Sweet justice!!!

He is in for a great race with his crap top speed.All the cars are faster than the Red Bull.

[NanoTheQuickest]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss yesssssssssssss, justice has finally arrived!

[Tifoso84]

I know that taking pleasure out of other's misfortunes is wrong, but the Red Cow had it coming to them after all the cheating this season. I'm so happy right now, that words can't describe it!

This championship just blew wide open!!!

[zike]

I am all wet

[Forzi]

I guess the plan is to grab everything we can this weekend. Got Texas and Brazil ahead, where we can have a lot of rain. Anything can happen folks

[anuragiyer8989]

problem is maldonado.......he is faster than us in the speed trap.......raikonnen n button we can manage.....probably alo will tak out button at turn 1...coz alo's on the clean side.....

[eddie]

As long as Maldo and Grosj doesn't cause any 1st turn drama, we can aim for the podium and square off with Vettel.

Vettel from 24th won't be able to pick up points as it's almost impossible to overtake.

And I hope, no safety car will be deployed throughout. Just every driver to keep it clean.

We will then bring the tides back to our favor

[anupa2k]

Finally the guy who deserves wins the championship....so it has to be Fernando...
come on Ferrari lets get the job done tomorrow...

[Sianellen]

Probably best to wait until after the race tomorrow to celebrate. No points for this

agreed

[Tifoso84]

There is justice after all...

[varun]

Sorry guys but we must cool down. Even if ALO will close the gap in the tomorrows race do you really believe that ferrari will deliver in the next races.....?
I am fed up with hopping and waiting so many years for a car really competitive from qualy...enough is enough. Luca should fire some people. I am fed up with damage limitation and hopping for misfortune to others.

exactly...even if alonso and vettel head to usa with almost equal points the cows can beat us there as they dont "hope" for working upgrades etc..
we on the flip side wait for things like these to happen...
and i dont know how it will happen in 2 weeks..but in USA we need to be on front row...plzzz
btw...vettel should have been given DSQ!!(just being greedy!!)

Alonso approves this penalty

[Tifoso]

The point is, how long has Vettel been Q like this?

If a few races or more, I seriously doubt that RB can readjust in time to be a huge factor in Q in the last 2 races. We'll see.

[FrankAlfa]

You see Virginia, there is a Santa Claus! I knew there was something to him wearing Red! Lets not giver the FIA to much credit. The FIA only followed the rules, this time! It certainly plays into their hands to spicing up the "Show" in this VERY fortunate turn of events.

Ciao!

Forza Ferrari!!!!

bt i wanted safety car....for maldonado taking out hamster n webber.....sorry just being too optimistic

[REDARMYSOJA]

OFFICIAL-Vettel 24th

[Hornet]

Yeah, for sure this doesn't mean it helps us win the title, all it does is to throw us a lifeline so we can fight for another day.

But that's important, anything can happen so the longer we can fight, the better it is. If Vettel secure the WDC next race, then regardless of what happens in Brazil it won't make any difference. If he doesn't then we can have another final go, see what happens at Brazil.

My guess, they have been doing this for awhile. They just ran too thin today.

Finger Boy starts from the back so Alonso starts from P6, which is not on the clean side.

[FrankAlfa]

Good One!

[Katu]

and what makes it even better is that Hamilton and Webber beat him

My worthless prediction is, if Alonso gets a podium tomorrow, Texas will be wide open and I will favor Alonso, he makes things work better when there isn't comparative data.

Then it will mean break or make at Brazil..

If the rest of Vettel's fuel is somewhere there?

Just when everything seemed lost...there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

We must use this opportunity the best way we can!

Well in abudhabi it's better to be on the other side meaning not the clean side is better!!
Meaning starting,2 or 4 or 6!

[eddie]

Best caption of the week.

Haha

[SoumyaBanerjee]

Yup its probably going to go down to the wire now. But first things first...ALO needs to finish on the podium tomorrow. And he needs to watch out for the madcaps starting alongside him...finishing the race has to be the priority!!!! Oh,how i wish quali had gone better for us!!!!
