Look how flustered Fuhrer Wolf is in interviews about F1 future, he hates Binotto as he is a major threat to the Kraut. Ferrari are coming to kick some filthy Krauts.

ha,ha....i like your optimism....but we'll see what's gonna happen

Leclerc says it's because Merc demanded the FIA to increase tire pressures so their car can go faster and everyone else would be slower.

If Mercedes can't finish without blowing the tyre up that's their personal problem. This is what they did a couple years back too. Increased tyre pressure and the gap to Mercedes widened.

Both engines replaced. It's clear as day Ferrari need to be allowed an engine update ASAP for reliability reasons, if it happens to be much faster so be it.

**PURE PASSION** · 8th August 2020, 11:40

Haven't watched FP3 but just now saw the results.
Why so high lap times ??!!!

**paolo lalli** · 8th August 2020, 11:41

Yes the wolf is squirming.Basically Ferrari are now starting to turn the screws amen the renaisense has began.Enjoy your time at the top Mr wolf the days are numbered.Mercedes have had the fia in there pocket for a while now like a good referee he or she is starting to even out the ledger and the wolf does not like it.Throw in there liberty media and the Concorde agreement and presto a squirming wolf.He will play the leaving card but that is worn and tired no loss if mercedes quit.The big commercial guns Ferrari redbull McLaren Williams etc etc.Frankly liberty media are sick of mercedes dominance both on and off the track with FIA in there pocket they are watching there investment going down the drain millions have turned of f1 GLOBALLY and that is a lot of lost dollars fresh ideas fresh rules and a fresh direction so wolf put up or shut up.If either do not suit then don't let the door hit your **** on the way out of the exit door..

**wappad** · 8th August 2020, 12:33

Pff..Olav Mol and the Ziggo-team just informed the Dutch people that they fully understand the fact that Renault, Mclaren and others teams don't agree with Racing Points punishment. Except for Ferrari..to join these teams. they call it a big scandal after Ferrari cheated last year with their engine.

'Ferrari should keep their mouth shut' according my fellow countryman..

We are the only 'bad boys' in F1 according the 'dutchies' : Forza Ferrari

**IulianFerrari** · 8th August 2020, 12:42

Sebastian, this is Mattia, Carlos called. Long story short, we are prepared to put your name back on the shirts.

**Peter De La Mar** · 8th August 2020, 13:15

Vettel is looking slow again in Q1.

**nani_s23** · 8th August 2020, 13:21

Vettel lucky again....I think he will not make Q3 ...

**tifosi1993** · 8th August 2020, 13:21

Don't know how Grosjean pulled that one off. Well done.

**Peter De La Mar** · 8th August 2020, 13:23

Good to see Albon match Max also.

Well I only see less than 2 tenths between him and Leclerc, since the past weekend, the gap has always been above 6 tenths so not bad I would say.

**tifosi1993** · 8th August 2020, 13:23

Gasly 334 in the speedtrap.
Leclerc 330
Vettel 331

Of course you wouldn't. But unfortunately, Vettel needed 2 laps to get into Q2, Leclerc only one.

**jgonzalesm6** · 8th August 2020, 13:30

Max on the hards in Q2

.6 again in Q2. I think this is the same thing that happened at RB, young charger comes in and the year after Seb loses all confidence in himself.

**tifosi1993** · 8th August 2020, 13:36

Leclerc vs Vettel

Sector 1: 27.559 vs 27.824

Sector 2: 35.232 vs 35.473

Sector 3: 23.918 vs 24.082

Vettel 331 kmh vs Leclerc 330 km/h

**nani_s23** · 8th August 2020, 13:39

This is biggest mistake by Ferrari by sending vettel on mediums, when they know vettel doesn’t have a pace.
They should have thought abt race pace & save a set.

It's not just about confidence. He's not someone who can adapt and deliver, he needs everything tailored made to deliver lap times, which to me, not a mark of true F1 great. He's an overachiever will be remembered as a 4xWDC, but to some, not a true great.

**nani_s23** · 8th August 2020, 13:42

Vettel out

**tifosi1993** · 8th August 2020, 13:43

Hulk is showing the true worth of that last years Mercedes.

**h3ro** · 8th August 2020, 13:44

So disappointed in this team. How can Ferrari be failing to get the car right for Seb?!

The man is a 4x world champion, he didn't forget how to drive a damn car. They need to sort this out.

Seb on radio : “I’ve tried everything out of the car, this is the maximum”

Maybe Seb is just trash, past his prime.
