    So some updates worked and we are better than China.

    " Ferrari Kimi Raikkonen (6th, Q3 - 1:27.104) "We can't be pleased with sixth place, because naturally we want to be fighting for the top places. But compared to the last race, we have managed to solve some problems and have improved the feeling I have from the car. Yesterday, the long run went well and, in general, we did a good job, but there is still much more to do, because we are not yet as fast as we would like to be. Tomorrow, the goal is to get a good start and then have a normal race. Of course, we will also need a good strategy and we will have to keep an eye on our tyre management. It won't be easy, but we are definitely going to fight."

    Fernando Alonso (7th, Q3 - 1:27.140) "This wasn't a good qualifying session, but the outcome was more or less what we could have expected on a difficult weekend, especially in terms of grip, not just for us but for all the teams. I'd definitely have liked to be starting from further up, but that's how it went today, we weren't quick enough and now we must think about tomorrow and try to make up some places to score as many points as possible. Of the updates we brought here, some worked, while others need further testing. There is a definite improvement compared to China, but we have some problems with the rear, despite the many set-up changes we made. Kimi did very well and I hope that both Ferraris can finish higher up. Now we must find the best strategy for tomorrow and try to get a good start. But above all, we mustn't make any mistakes, because this race demands a high level of concentration."

    Spanish Qualifying was the first F1 event my father watched this year. During it, he asked "Why do the cars look like they're much slower than last year?" I had to be the one to tell him that they're running turbo V-6 engines, and he just shook his head.


    Disappointed Since 2010

    These new engines are not the reason why cars are "slower". They are more powerful than the old ones and top-speeds are higher too..

    Just out of curiosity, why did Ross leave the team? I am certain money was not the issue.

    Hmm, no wonder why LdM keeps on ranting that an Italian should be a TP. Giving preference to nationality over talent and leadership surely took a toll on this team.

    "If I was driving for Red Bull [from 2008] probably I would have more championships, but because they were dominating between 2010 and 2014 probably I would never have driven for Ferrari. I am very happy and very proud to drive for Ferrari, all my time there.

    @Katu: Who's statue the pigeon on your avatar shitting on?

    F1 show biz 2016 :
    Toto - "Ferrari are a real threat" .... Nico - "Awesome, everything is just awesome" .....Lulu - "Mental strength man, lifestyle man, I'll drive at 400% as ever man".... and then suddenly a wild Bull out of nowhere slams into a Ferrari.
