Monaco GP 2016 Free Practice and Qualifying

[phsyklone]

DR time was done at da same time as Vettels if not a lap or 2 later because he kept on getting stuck behind traffic

[Kyss4k]

We didn't need this session to know that did we.. We should focus on doing the best possible job and see what happens.. Last year we beat one of the Mercs

Well there are still people who believe, that we can fight with Mercedes and that we didn't show everything we got in recent races. And yeah, last year we did beat one of the Mercs, but last year we also had one win already.

I also believe we haven,'t shown everything we got.. But I don't think Monaco is the place where we will.. It's not our strongest track and Merc have been winning here since 2013.. Everything is possible, but the chances of it happening here are smaller I think.. Not much you can do in a race

Which is our strongest track according to you? Please don't say I don't know for an answer.

Which is our strongest track according to you? Please don't say I don't know for an answer.

I think that first of all slow corners aren't are best thing, so Monaco isn't ideal.. I also think that we are stronger in race then qualy, so tracks like Monaco where qualy is super important don't give us the benefit of being able to race..
I think we have been strong in races so far.. Australia, Bahrain, China, Barcelona, pace has been very good.. Our car seems to be good at most tracks.. There is no one track where we are best.. We have a good car, Merc has a better car.. There's no area where we are superb to Merc I think.. But I do think that our race pace has been very good this year to challenge them in the race

[phsyklone]

considering that RB chassis is the best in F1 next to Merc if we are ahead of RB in Qualy what are all those Ferrari haters going to say and write about. Everyone has been shooting down at our car even Ferrari so called "Fans", so if we are ahead of RB what will the problem be then ?

yeah, but that ONLY because mercedes messed up Lewis's strategy and have him pit while it was NO NEED TO....remember???

[nani_s23]

rain predicted on the race day, could make it interesting race

[Kristof_F40]

yeah, but that ONLY because mercedes messed up Lewis's strategy and have him pit while it was NO NEED TO....remember???

Yes, I remember.. And they pitted him because they thought Seb would pit for fresh tyres and be much faster then him..
What I was trying to say is, I don't see us being able to win here on pace, still you never know what comes your way..

[Kristof_F40]

Interesting, we have 2 sets of soft this weekend.. Didn't know that..

[Kristof_F40]

I read somewhere US is 0,3s faster then SS.. If so, Merc won't need to use US for Q2 qualy.. Then can simply start race on SS

[nani_s23]

seems kimi struggling at this track. not able to nail the lap properly.

[nani_s23]

I don't think it will be a advantage.

[Kristof_F40]

I don't think it will be a advantage.

No but it could give us the opportunity to do something different and risk something..
RBR and Merc will probably be quicker here.. Perhaps we can try something different..
Kimi seems to be struggling to get a good lap in so..

[SashAlex]

St. Devote is not tricky only in the F1 game, but in real life too. It seems like when you are in the groove by wanting to break a bit later, you either go in the run-off area or kiss the wall.

[WS6TransAm01]

this is painful to watch.

[Kristof_F40]

Damn, Ricciardo flying..

[Kyss4k]

The Red Bull looks insane.

[phsyklone]

The Bulls are Rampant

Looks like you will not have to worry about that.

[FerrariF60]

The Red Bull looks insane.

it's gotta be the new and improved engine....
i know it's still free practice, but those BULLS are gonna give us a hard time in quali tomorrow

our ONLY hope is for rain on sunday, at least that will be kind of a lottery and who knows, it may come into our advantage and with a bit of luck take a WIN here....

otherwise we're DOOMED!!!!

^exactly this...

Oh I would go as far as saying, that Ricciardo will gibe hard tim to Mercedes. We will probably not be even close to that Red Bull sadly.

They said engine was 0,4s at Canada, so 0,2s here.. If you look at difference between RIC and Verstappen, it's 1s.. So Verstappen 0,8s slower than RIC, I don't but that.. Also, it can't be that an engine update gives 1s around Monaco.. RIC is in super qualy mode I think..

[SashAlex]

By the looks, Ferrari won't qualify higher than 4th on Saturday. Even with a naked eye you can see the difference between our car and the cheaters.

[darkchild]

RBs looking amazing. STR strong as well. We look laughably bad. Sliding around like in Barcelona, drivers making constant corrections with the wheel, car not riding the curbs well at all. All in all, extremely dissapointed, especially since RB looks so good. If that engine brings 0.5 second a lap, we are done for.

[FerrariSteve]

it's not looking good. have we slipped behind RBR now? :(

i don't understand as to WHY you have to call them "cheaters"....they have clearly done a WAY better job then Ferrari and for that i give 'em the thumbs UP....cheating or not

if we were the one's cheating what would you have said then??? you would close your eyes and pretend everything was fine??? YEAH, I THOUGHT SO....

No, tells you about that RB chassis. I honestly believe it's better than Merc

[SashAlex]

Looks like it. But the next two GPs could definitely confirm that.

Hate when season after season you others doing great and Ferrari struggling. Oh well, it's still thursday. But can you imagine our car at Monaco in the rain?
