Top in FP2 is a great achievement from Fernando, would be nice to think we could capitalise come Sunday but at least we're up there. Kimi having Felipe's bad luck syndrome, what is it about the team that someone always has to suffer this misfortune. Better than expected day performance-wise, though, keep it coming.![]()
IIRC, Martin Brundle said something like the rear is trying to step out, but more importantly Alonso is carrying more speed through the corner.
I think we have a solid car, just need better power delivery that doesn't upset the car when accelerating out of corners. Will be interesting to see if we can improve the PU in Canada, and what improvement to the car that might bring.
I don`t now if this is true

If ALO can get onto Row 1 or 2, anything is possible.. Traffic, drop of rain, safety cars.. and the best driver in F1, or course!
Trying to be less angry..
Let's not get carried away by FA's free practice..........in Monaco to get on the first rows, you need superb traction and high cornerspeed. We don't have that, and although as some say we have the best driver, he is not a magician.
In order to qualify on the first or second row we need more than Fernando (or Kimi) can give. Only the wether can help him because that can be the big equalizer.

RBR is definitly quicker than us, and I don't think we can count out the Williams and even Grosjean, the lotus isn't that slow if it's working. Romain has done some good qualyfying here in the past

I am not getting carried away with FP show off. Think Ferrari cars will be 3rd, 4th row...
exactly my thoughts; we are NOT strong enough to even challenge the red bulls, let along the Merc's
if one of our cars can get on 3rd row, meaning P5 or P6...i'll be happy
then we have to wait if the well talked about package for Canada will work and may beat the bulls and be MUCH, MUCH closer to the Merc's
heck, it better work teh well talked about package....because i'll be there rooting for BOTH of our drivers...
Forza Ferrari SEMPRE!!!
Certainly Fernando's lap in FP2 isn't really representative of our car's performance relative to Merc and RB or even Williams/Lotus/Macca, but it's good for morale and boy do we need it. But it did look a handful and a shame that Kimi couldn't get a time for comparison with Nando, then we'll have had a clearer picture of where we stand for this race.
I reckon Alonso will get P4 tomm![]()
If we could somehow get both cars into top 6 in quali then I'd be satisfied. I hope we could do even better than that, but I know it's going to be difficult.
KEEP CALM AND LOVE FERRARI
This is what Mattiacci said to Finnish MTV3. " Mattiacci on MTV3 about problems in Kimis car:" Yes there is constantly more problems in Kimis car. Maybe we should start to take a look who is taking care of his car."
I guess Kimis part of the garage is pretty much the same that Felipe had.

P4 will feel like a pole!

And you can see without a clock, that those cars were way faster than these new ones![]()
Based on FP1: behind Merc by .659 means Ferrari and Alonso will finish 51+ seconds behind Merc on Sunday.
Based on FP2: ahead by .419 means Ferrari and Alonso will win the race by 32+ seconds.
Let's see what FP3 brings.
I guess that's another excuse, you disrespect Kimi's mechanics, do you think they are "trash" and they don't know how to build the car or check if the gearbox is broken?. Ferrari exchanged some mechanics last year from both garages for the sake of equality, and Massa's car was alwys solid.
