    Seems we’re 4th in team order. Not to mention grid penalty. Look at cars with Ferrari PU’s, they’re at the bottom. The ‘God’ did leave a legacy. Mamma mia

    Think some of you need to chill a bit and not assume just coz you're seeing the lap times!

    Remember , we carrying a concern of which the electronics on Lecler's car poses some doubt. Saying that, they're probably evaluating parts and so forth.

    It practise, so let them do what they need to do on the car............you don't judge on a first free practise what the entire weekend is going to be ??
    Drive it like you stole it!

    Ferrari didn't even turn up the engine for any of their runs, anyone with a common sense would notice it easily.

    And as for AM, I didn't see Alonso threatening Charles, either during the qualifying or during the race, and if the engine holds out, he wouldn't be a problem for him here either.

    Yes, Alonso did finish on the podium by overtaking Sainz. But Sainz is the slower one. No one would judge the true performance of the AM by focusing on Stroll's pace, the same logic should be applied to Ferrari as well.

    Long run pace of Charles's looked really strong. Had no tyre wear at all. Shame for his penalty, starting from the back is always risky. He needs some luck here.

    Well I didn't mean to comment on the Saudi FP1 ...I meant about the chassis overall looks nowhere as good as last year (relative to RB). PU unreliability still there...2nd race and already on 2nd PU for both.

    Low engine mode and much higher fuel load

    It's only Friday practice, let's see what the race brings.
    Maybe our good performance in the 1st WEC event at Sebring (the Ferrari 499H driven by Fuoco is on pole) will dogmatic a change in fortune for us.

    Guys, it’s FP1, so we need to stay calm. But nevertheless, we still have to make big steps. All these reliability problems after last year, we should be further… it’s just the second race and we are talking about pu penalties…

    What benefit does the performance of the 499H bring to our F1 pace? We all want to see Ferrari at the front, but it really doesn’t matter if we fail in F1 again and again.

    Reliability is 1 thing. What worrying is others can dial up their cars from the beginning (RBR, AMR, Merc) and we can’t. Look at other Ferrari powered cars, they’re at the bottom.

    May be that explains the exodus of employees,knowing that a lemon has been designed. VASUER putting on a brave face in reality what choice does he have.Eventually if this trend continues he will have to come clean and admit this year is a write off.Remember all that shines is not gold a spectacular launch ,which so far is looking dull.
    .This race and 1 more will confirm the situation.

    Change has to happen, no matter what. You can’t produce the fastest car in Year 1, and be 1 second off the pace in year 2.
