Canadian GP 2014 Qualifying Thread

If that is the case it would have been wiser to use 1 of our cars with all the new parts. We could then use that data for evaluation purposes. We panicked and overlooked that option possibly. This isn't the first time we have done this. Frustration is completely understandable. I think we're playing it way too safe.

Depends how early in the race we loose that engine!

[AfterLife]

We don't know really if the problem was down to temperature. Do we?

[Greig]

Have Ferrari confirmed why the updates were not used, or is it just twitter = truth?

[Rob]

It's not like we're going to get lots of points without these parts. Points would have been minimal. You've got to look at the risk/reward ratio. We've played it way too safe but ironically when it comes to race strategies at times we opt to take an extremely risky race strategy that have cost us dearly. Doesn't make sense. We could have run our engine on a lower setting to minimise the chances of a DNF but which driver is going to be willing to do that? We don't have Massa anymore.

Again, its all about WCC, and try to secure 2nd in the WCC as Merc seem out of reach now. Points means $$ at end of year. 2nd would be better than 3rd.

Totally understand where you coming from, but the team thinking of the bigger picture, WCC points.

Why we always make a fool out of ourselves ,so much talk about the upgrades ,B spec car etc etc for Canada and then this!

Twitter truth is like Wikipedia, is gospel.

2 options:
1. relieability (bad design)
2. not working (bad design)

After waiting so long for these updates, this is just sad. We still are not able to make upgrades to outdevelop the competition, there is constantly something wrong and it doesn't matter what is it. I have a feeling that even if we have started with best car, we would already be outdeveloped by others. Confidence is not really shining from Ferrari factory.

those mercs...........

I think it just demonstrates our lack of confidence in being able to upgrade our car sufficiently to bag ourselves enough points. However, by going focussing on reliability we have a chance but we are assuming our rivals will falter with reliability problems. At this stage of the championship we need to take risks. Maybe Mattiacci doesn't want to take such risk so early on in his job. It just wouldn't look good if one of our cars DNF. You've also got Haas in our garages. A DNF in front of him surely will not look good. Politics if you ask me.

It cannot be because these are not working. We did see the pace yesterday.

Quite agree with you. I am disappointed too. What is the fast aero package good for when you can not use it on track during summer.

[Laferrari]

So funny.I make so much hope about those" upgrade" and we remove all of them due to....the weather...princeless.

[Ed Harley]

Oh well that you decided then, thanks for the clarification.

[KurtC]

so much for supposedly closing the gap with Mercedes... FP times fooled us once again

[Ed Harley]

The single run for KR and he ends up in traffic.

[Mimo966]

Vettel from nowhere nr3. It is so dissapointing. i Somehow hoped for a good saturday and/or maybe sunday. I think this is will end like typical race for us. Ciao. :(

[hogo]

Vergne 8th and Kimi 10th... oh dear... even Minardi beat one of our cars.

[AfterLife]

[shamim179]

Wow Rosberg! On a track that Hamilton is a master of! This is will be a huge psychological blow to Hamilton.
