2015 Bahrain Grand Prix - Sakhir

[Nero Horse]

Edit.

Ok reading it twitter that Ferrari already denied that they will be using 2nd unit or that there are cracks on engine block.

Where on twitter did you read that?

[darkchild]

He deleted it unfortunately so we will have to see how it unfolds.

The account that posted & deleted 'Ferrari denying'(http://twishort.com/lCcic ) retweeted this.

@RoboCoP_G: They tell me that if Ferrari will use the second Power Unit in Bahrain (not yet decided), the third Power Unit will be postponed. Postponed in Canada GP or nearby.

(From the same account) "Small cracks had emerged after the last test in Barcelona. This wouldn't be a new problem."

Another interesting quotes

@Gianlu_DAle: Marchionne "I think that when we'll return to Monza the car will have the fundamental changes that will allow us to compete with Mercedes. I hope to see progress already tomorrow during the free practice.

Hi, I'm the guy of the tweet

The news wasn't official (sky sport italy said it), but is what Ferrari wants to say... Probably they will use the "excuse" of changing the engine to alternate them :)

[darkchild]

Hey man you are great! Always first with the news!

[Giallo 550]

I think it would make the most sense for Ferrari fans to want to see Sebastian in front of Kimi, because he is the future of the team. Nothing against Kimi, but aren't him and Button the oldest drivers on the grid? Anyway, here's to hoping we see a Ferrari 1-2 this weekend with Mercedes eating its tires and more humble pie.

I am a fan of both so I want to see them race, not put one falsely before the other one. Also, Sebastian said that he wants to race for position not to be put in front. Plus Kimi wants that too. Plus Arrivabene said he don't want to hear nothing about team orders. So I think it is good we will have fun racing with them both.

Welcome Gianlu27! Yes I enjoy your tweet because I don't read Italian! Thank you for the many updates!

Any idea what the time was?? or where we can see it ? thx

Evo car magazine at Anglesey. Ferrari belonged to a guy thats done vmax events in uk. He took the car along a day after a track day. He released the time in an internet forum, the magazine was not allowed to publish it only saying the Ferrari had nothing to worry about the other cars in the article. The others were factory supported the Ferrari was on worn tyres and a customer car no Ferrari personel present.

So now Grid & Finishing Order is gonna be decided by Driver's age and not what they manage to do with their talent and machinery?

It'll be great if people who ask for such things stop calling themselves Fans of Racing.

I don't need anybody to tell me which driver I wish to be in front.

Where did I say anything anything about age dictating decisions? "In front" meant "outperforming." No Ferrari fan wants to see the teams latest signing turn out to be a dud. For the record, I only support team orders when a championship is on the line.

I don't need anybody to tell me which driver I wish to be in front.

Nobody's telling you to wish anything.

Why would it make most sense we've had 3 races to date n what age to do with anything ?

See above.

so u saying if kimi won its no good to Ferrari cos he's old n not future ? any team mate can be beaten in a yr doesn't make em a dud

[F1 Dream Team]

It's a bit early for much driver market speculation, but Ted Kravitz reports that the word on the Bahrain desert street is that Ferrari are poised to take up the option they have on Kimi Raikkonen's services for 2016. The Finn's certainly been a reborn force this year, even if he is yet to beat new team-mate Sebastian Vettel. But he's certainly happier than he was during last season alongside Alonso.

Tell that to Rosberg. Clearly, if Kimi won the championship in the short term, it would be good for Ferrari. My point was that moving forward, I would want to see whoever is racing against Kimi outperform him, since he wouldn't be a downgrade, which is not a slag on Kimi.

[S1000RR]

I'm confused now; here i've read that the engine showed some cracks after the last Barcelona test, now F1today is reporting that the engine showed cracks before bahrain and suggesting we are going to switch to 2nd PU

[ManFromMilan]

Doesn't matter why, but great to see Ferrari one and two

[gvera]

Yes, Ferrai will use new ICE:

Do we know if there are any gains in performance with the new engine?

[gvera]

Not a single clue

[Winter]

New engine will be the same as the old one.

[Gianlu27]

Do we know if there are any gains in performance with the new engine?

This unit is the same of the one we used in the first races of the season.. Surely will be better (but don't think that it will be a super gain) because these engine are new :)





Thanks to all :)
