[Aziz]

Cold and rainy at the track currently.

Ffs, will it ever go in our favor

Ffs, will it ever go in our favor

As long we are praying to go into our favor, we'll be nowhere!
Great car as any other great athlete is great on any given day with any given circumstances!

Correct.

[Gilles]

Our car should be the best on this track and the rain can only give more chance to the other teams, we don’t need it.
Charles couldn’t make his fast lap with new tires yesterday, due to a wrong message on his steering wheel, and he encountered various problems. It was better for Carlos.
Charles said yesterday that he was expecting a wet quali so we’ll have to do well to secure the first row

My favorite races are when there's no sure winner at the start! Alonso and Dan are even in the mix.

Mine are when Ferrari have a full second on everyone

[Tifoso Svedese]

Looks like the rain front is weaker than anticipated and therefore a good chance both FP3 and qualifying will remain dry.

[stefa]

Dry, but heavy overcast

Sainz complaining about an issue in the high speeds

[gump1480]

Dont like that the fact that Ham is so close to us.

[gump1480]

Sainz complaining about an issue in the high speeds

Ohh...hope not engine related

[patrese86]

Ohh...hope not engine related

No. He says it was there yesterday as well, could be the bouncing

[Redfive]

I'll be glad when this race is over, its the one race of the year that I dread. Because of the Media and SkyF1. They're constantly bigging it up "best race of the year", "best fans in the world" etc etc. and their love-in with Mercedes/goldenboy has intensified to where it's almost unbearable to watch.

Ideally I'd love a Ferrari 1-2 and then any other car but Merc in 3rd. just to shut them up.

It's annoying and so very predictable that merc have sudden found pace and looking like contenders for this weekend.

Russell team radio "no bouncing"

Wow, wonder how merc magically solved the issue....cheats.

Yup, and some of the members here were saying early on in the season that merc would never catch up. Looks like they have a shot and pole and a win. Lets see how this weekend plays out as its still early times. However, if these cheating scumbags have cheated their way into contention I will be very upset.

[elnano14]

I don't like this...

[hakanabi]

Half a second? Damn...

[458 Italia]

Button laying one the "most decorated driver in history" stuff on really thick *throwing up emoji*

[458 Italia]

Maybe the Ferrari upgrades will be ready by Christmas?

[Aziz]

I refuse to believe we are 0.5s down

Won't be the first time that Merc cheated.

[gump1480]

Come quali....Sainz may get mugged by both Mercs.

[patrese86]

Won't be the first time that Merc cheated.

Hamilton is reporting bouncing.

[nani_s23]

Easy win for Max, unless anything dramatic. Ferrari will be fighting with Mercs tomorrow.
Given Sainz horrible pace.

[RossTheBoss]

Um, wow.

Just dreadful pace.

[PURE PASSION]

If this is our true pace and we are behind RedBull and on par with Mercs, then yes we have failed in the development race. But ill wait for Qualy and most importantly the race. Because we might have lose some Qualy pace to be faster in the race . So we will comment tomorrow afterthe race .

[Aziz]

If this is real pace.....

Word. We'll see if there's anything in the tank for qualifying, but Ferrari typically hide pace.

[458 Italia]

Charles reporting an issue with the gearbox....
