2017 Italian GP: Practice & Qualifying thread

[Louwrens]

Perhaps Ferrari gambled on a dry setup for tomorrow. And that could be a huge advantage. I am not sure teams are allowed to change setup tomorrow if they get their cars back from parc ferme..

[Zerocool]

I don't want to see him anywhere near Ferrari. Sorry.
He's not Ferrari material.

Well said

[Stormy]

Disaster on our home track, i hope tomorrow we can save what can be saved.

Ferrari's aero lacks efficiency so they went for a very low DF to compensate. In the rain it just didn't work.

I thought we were the ones with higher aero efficiency and Merc were the ones with the higher engine power.

And why didn't Bottas try enough times? I don't understand...

[nani_s23]

Ferrari vet was promising in q1 n Q2.
How can he suddenly drop off. I can't believe it.
Surely they were planning for tmrws race as
1) everybody starts their race on unknown tyres
2) overtaking is possible

This is what I said earlier on this thread , sacrifice pole position for tmrws race. It doesn't effect.

This is going to be a boring race up at the front.

The middle pack is where the action is....

[KimiBot]

I would like to kindly ask our drama queens on the forum, to calm down and wait for the race tomorrow and all the other races, before congratulating Hamilton for the WDC. Thank you

lol

No car can be changed after quali.

[Vittorio]

Sorry, my oversight, make that Vettel 4th because Bottas is showing a time that should put him in SECOND...and this is directly from the F1 timing board. Again, what the hell is going on here??

[mwk360]

red bull chose the perfect day to take penalties though

[doublesixes]

Ciao Ciao Bambino.....kiss the WDC goodbye.

What the hell is the matter with our team?

Expecting Ferrari 2-3 or 1-3 tmrw.

[Zerocool]

Excuse me, but Live Timing is showing Vettel as 8th but with a time of 1:36.223 - which effectively puts him in third, not 8th...? And this is directly from the F1 website...what the hell is going on here? ANY glitch in live timing at this level is a glitch too many...and so all times should be thrown out. Why is Ferrari or no one else seeming to pick up on this??

Whaaaaa? Really..?

[458 Italia]

Hopefully we will see him in Scuderia someday.

no thanks!

[tifosi1993]

Please Keep it together... Records? Merc PU records...

So according to you Schumacher's record = Bridgestone tyres and Rory byrne. Vettel's record = blown diffuser and Adrian Newey.

Don't be ridiculous.

i think in german vettel said they just lacked the speed, dunno if true or not i saw a translation on twitter

[darkchild]

Sorry but our drivers were simply bad. Look at Bot/Ham difference :o

[Christopher]

Vettel looks gutted

[bobi_ve]

Horrible strategists as always.
First about old engine, then about when they are puting which tyres! They are not able to make quick and effective decision!
As I remember in all past 20 yrs we have never been able for one extra run in very important moments!
What is wrong with these guys....past 2 weeks-from one to another mistake.
It's all over....for both titles unless Mercedes get double DNF!

[mwk360]

hopefully stroll is a ferrari fan and does us a favour

[Christopher]

Kimi says ferrari couldn't make the tyres work with the low downforce

[darkchild]

Vettel looks gutted

He wasnt exaclty putting on great show. Kimi is ahead and he is anything but rain specialist. Look at Bot/Ham difference. With Ham we would be on pole no doubt.

[mwk360]

It better not rain tomorrow or else the cars behind will definitely be passing us

[jgonzalesm6]

Expecting Ferrari 2-3 or 1-3 tmrw.

2-3....MAYBE...the start is scary with alot of unknowns including weather. If Vettel jumps the start and takes out several, he will knock out the others during the race. Kimi,

I hope, follows suit.

Hamilton won this race and will run away with it.

Another over dramatic post. Ferrari/Vettel still in the WDC hunt. One bad qualy doesn't change anything.

[mwk360]

from twitter

Vettel: I don't know what the problem was. I was surprised by how quick the others went, we couldn't match them.
Vettel: There are a couple of things we will look into. Something didn't work.

See the times guys... There is a mistake

Lewis on more DF so will be missing straight line speed compared to Ferrari.
Diff between SS n S = .5-.8sec

Yeah all those wet wins were just luck are you seriously trying to say stroll is a better wet weather driver than vettel

[Shadowfax84]

Very very disappointed. Feeling very bad. Gonna skip dinner, have alcohol and knock myself out.

[darkchild]

Its best lap of their whole Q session
