That sounds healthy. Good for you..
And what was mods opinion of trolling?

Just pray that wherever our boys start, we don't have any contact and can reel some of the others in on our race pace, although with the lack of traction that's a big ask. We tifosi have been through these challenging times before, it's painful but we're still here and so are Ferrari. It's all cyclical for the top teams and we have to live with it. Forza!

Rosberg also had all 4 wheels over the line on final corner during Q2, and nothing was said.

So, manufacturer's points are

1	Red Bull/Renault	470
2	Mercedes	313
3	Ferrari	309
4	Lotus/Renault	285

Any realistic chance for Ferrari to get 2nd by end of season?

Ok Rob, let's hope that the end of it and even if Kimi is starting from the back, he can still be a threat! As is everyone else if we hope to regain 2nd in WCC.

Lets hope we can mix it up tomorrow, the silly high temps didnt help us at all. As were overheating the tyres quickly. But, cooler race temps, good chances of overtaking all the way down too T7, fingers crossed keep out of trouble and gain afew and strong points for WCC, and 1 Merc DNF and Lotus

dita incrociate e permette di avere gara pulita.

Oof....haven't been able to watch qualy, but this is sad. I mean sad because all those guys - drivers, mechanics etc. - are working as hard as they can, but the fact is that it is simply not possible anymore to make this car competitive.
Felipe is doing great, his motivation to show hwo good he really is makes him going faster than the car can.
Fernando, I don't know if it is the case but how difficult must it be to give more than you have time after time in these circumstances? Maybe Felipes motivation is beating Fernando's at the moment, I don't know.
What I do know that tomorrow we will see two drivers again who will do their maximum and more to score as high as possible.
If that means a 6th or 7th place, it doesn't matter anymore, we must cheer for them.
We are Ferrarifans and we cannot let our drivers and our team down.

massa clean side, heres hoping!

**Lucky Dodo** · 2nd November 2013, 19:45

I think dropping Kimi from quali is better for Felipe than Fernando. I am thinking of notorious Dirty Side of start up.

**Muhammad Ansib** · 2nd November 2013, 20:21

I just wanted to ask whether Fernando's promotion in Top 10 still means that he gets the choice to choose whichever Tyre he Likes?

FORZA FERRARI, FORZA FERNANDO ALONSO.

**Greig** · 2nd November 2013, 20:27

He is starting on softs he already said

**Rob** · 2nd November 2013, 20:51

Just watching the GP2 race form today, looks like both sides of the grid got of the line pretty well.

**bonzo** · 2nd November 2013, 21:13

Did not watch the quali, not sure about therace tomorrow. Just checking the forum if Stefano has already submitted his resigniation. Seems not...Alas!

Also there are chances for being 4th!

I am for sure not letting them down, but their results are making me down!

That's something I can't deny....

**theforce** · 3rd November 2013, 01:33

Ferrari aren't bringing in solid updates so the whole team is trying to maximize with what they've got and considering the race day results from previous weekends, I say its a pretty impressive effort.

Felipe seems to be concentrating more on qualifying and starting races from higher up the grid which means no more silly tangles with the back markers and this will surely help his future team owners in selecting him.

Regardless of where Fernando qualifies his race pace and relentless pass on race day alone is the joy of Sundays. And to top it off the media are desperately trying to create friction between him and Ferrari because Seb winning his 4th title in a row doesn't seem to be selling well.

Hey guys,

sorry but I'm looking for that picture of Webber with his failure list again in all the GP's of 2013.

Can't seem to find it, someone knows where it is?

You find the picture "funny"?
Is it some sort of finnish humor?
