Bad Felipe

[SinanOzerS]

Hope we'll take this gamble on tomorrow.

[Kyss4k]

Just came home... looking at the times from Q2, did we run in Q3 on primes?

[Greig]

Not a great move by Ferrari

Why not?

[Schumiklub]

Good position for us, we can take them on the long stint.

[ProGratis]

Yes well done Lewis.

Not good at all, very soon he will be ahead of us in the WDC as well. We cant always count on others to beat Vettel.

[tifosi1993]

Brilliant move by Ferrari.

[Sianellen]

yeah, interesting to see how the race plays out

[Golfsmith]

We could question every single decision Ferrari make, but I guess they do know better.

What do Ferrari know better,well I hope they start to give there drivers a better quali car.

Bad Felipe

?

[mirafiori]

Could be a very smart move by Ferrari.

[Greig]

Beat Alonso

I am not questioning it all.
Just thinking LH and SV will start form 1st row on soft tires with VERY fast cars, make gap, and be comfortable to pit. At the same time Ferrari will start from 7th and 8th, could gain, but also could loose some places at the start and than start catching up. They will loose some much in time...

No, just didnt want Vettel on pole at his home GP if we couldnt.

[Kyss4k]

I hope Ferrari knows what they are doing, because our guys could have been 3-5 if they would qualify on softs. Or were we out of softs?

[Greig]

Well if you know better you should run your own successful F1 team.

[thanasis67]

wait till tommorow... this is the big day...

[Kristof_F40]

By doing a lap on mediums we lost 1 position with our drivers (RIC), not that big sacrifice, but question is, will it be better to start on medium? Perhaps a last stint of 5-6laps on softs, depending on the race.. But, Ferrari knew they were going to do this strategy in Q3, it was not impulsive, so, perhaps there is something in this, in Spain Ferrari also planned for a 4 stopper as only team...

[DJTaurus]

At least they could give Alonso the clean side of 7th position.

[stefa]

Beat Alonso

I am amazed that you said that?!?!?

[bonzo]

Gamble, gamble, gamble

[Greig]

I am amazed that you said that?!?!?

It's a joke.

[Rishu]

Going out on softs would have got us maybe 4th & 6th, so not too much lost but will gain advantage by going long

[stefa]

It's a joke.

I know that you are not serious about it

[Hornet]

Can't say I'm please with the results. Now Alonso ends up on the dirty side, and I think we'll lose a lot of ground to Vettel in the opening stint even if our plan is to stop 1 time lesser.

Ferrari looks like they managed to extract some reasonable 2nd hot lap from a used soft, which gave me the impression that we were okay on tire wear.

[stefa]

Let's see what happens tomorrow.

Ciao tutti!

[Senna4Ever]

Face of Vettel after being 2nd: priceless

[anuragiyer8989]

I hope Ferrari knows what they are doing, because our guys could have been 3-5 if they would qualify on softs. Or were we out of softs?

We still have 1 set of softs,fresh and new....for last stint! All those complaining, pls have faith in the team....of is good strategy if we attack from the start itself.

[Suzie]

I don't know how Ferrari and the drivers just don't crumble under the weight of expectation some of you have.

If they'd gone on softs there'd have no doubt been whinging like 'why are they going out on softs if they can't challenge for pole anyway, why aren't they thinking about tomorrow instead...'

[Kyss4k]

By the way, what happened to Rosberg?
