Hopefully all the new parts Ferrari have brought here would make us highely competetive.

**Greig** · 26th July 2013, 08:41

Let's hope so anyway

**stisum** · 26th July 2013, 09:06

**PURE PASSION** · 26th July 2013, 09:32

Half an our past! Any news? We are blind here!!

**nash929** · 26th July 2013, 09:33

Well, neither cars has gone out.

**nash929** · 26th July 2013, 09:41

Massa's out now. Nothing new strapped on atm.

**medeni73** · 26th July 2013, 09:44

Vettel with brake problems :)

Vettel is informed on the radio that there may be an anomaly with the brakes. He slowly guides the car into the pitlane.
Vettel returns to the pits again and it looks like he's in to stay for a while. All is not well down there after the braking issue at the beginning of the session.

**nash929** · 26th July 2013, 09:48

On Williams : Ted Kravitz reports that they are 'downgrading' to understand further what hinders them.

**Kyss4k** · 26th July 2013, 09:52

Those McLarens really like the new/old tyres.

**nash929** · 26th July 2013, 09:52

Alonso's out - tops the session for the moment. Looks like new cascades on the FW.

I agree. Looks like both car's handling has improved, given the state of the track currently. But they were strong at Monaco too, right?

Indeed, seems that these slower tracks suit them better..
But, on the other hand, times don't says much I think, track is dusty, it's FP1.. Everyone is evaluating tyres, definitly Merc.. I still expect Merc and RBR fastes this weekend, with Merc struggling with degradation.. our biggest problem will be how will be comparing to Lotus and perhaps other teams, if we start below third row, it's going to be very hard

According to McLaren, it might be the new Camber settings rules that may be helping them.

**Hornet** · 26th July 2013, 09:58

McLaren thinks the restricted tire pressure and camber might help them

Alonso P1. Wonder if it's helping us too

Not want to be pessimistic, but let's see what the rest of the weekend will bring to us.. On paper this track won't be good for us, nothing much is going to change that suddenly.. Hopefully we can do well in qualy, but I don't expect us to be a match for RBR and Merc so, biggest worry is Lotus I think..

**anialonso** · 26th July 2013, 10:06

Can anyone share the sector times so that we can know how strong ferrari is..

**Rishu** · 26th July 2013, 10:09

We look good in S2, not so in S3

**SinanOzerS** · 26th July 2013, 10:09

And again,the last sector.

**SinanOzerS** · 26th July 2013, 10:14

Kimi's last sector:23.1
Fernando's last sector:23.6

**Rishu** · 26th July 2013, 10:16

Ferrari confirming both Alonso & Massa were on different aero components

**Kyss4k** · 26th July 2013, 10:16

We are strong in S1 and S2. Loosing in S3.

Sector times are still changing, as the track evolves, so posting the latest ones would not be representative.

- What we can say, based on how the sector times are changing, that Red Bull is better than us in S1 and S3, we are stronger in S2. But it looks close.

- I would say that only Lotus has a clear advantage in S3, but they are slower in the previous 2 sectors

**Kristof_F40** · 26th July 2013, 10:22

We're loosing in S3 because of understeer.. suppose we can make some changes to "cure" this..

**Rishu** · 26th July 2013, 10:24

Lack of traction is causing understeer

What I meant was that we can "cure" this understeer slightly by adjusting front wing angles, ofcourse I don't mean we can "cure" allt he problems of our car..

**theforce** · 26th July 2013, 10:36

That Redbull looks so easy to drive

**Hermann** · 26th July 2013, 10:39

I somehow admire the sky guys for the ability to make it sound like it was something new RB is the fastest car.

lol, anything non-Ferrari related is other-worldly for them

**bonzo** · 26th July 2013, 11:21

**Alonsomaniac** · 26th July 2013, 11:44
