2023 Canadian Grand Prix - Practice & Qualifying Thread

[Greig]

And as I said and you send me reprimand, with current engineers it is not going to happen any time soon

Am I insulting the team like you do?

[drax]

If we had Alonso in this car, we wouldn't have been P11 today.

You will never know this, unless he actually was.

[drax]

Track does not seem better, so if Carlos gets a penalty he might actually start behind Charles

[tifosi1993]

You will never know this, unless he actually was.

We can always make some educated guess. And I don't think Alonso is someone who'd wait around for his engineer's permission to pit, if he thought the condition is dry.

[Greig]

Grid is probably set now due to the rain.

[Kyss4k]

You will never know this, unless he actually was.

He had some bad cars while he was driving for Ferrari, yet he always (mostly) delivered, put the car where it didn't belong, fought for WDC when the car wasn't WDC material... I would bet he would be in Q3.

[samboozik]

Oh how I wish Hulkenberg was driving for Ferrari.

[drax]

P2 for the Haas most likely

[tifosi1993]

Alonso could put the frigging F2012 on pole in wet conditions, something neither of our drivers are capable of doing.

[Greig]

This will be full wets soon. Max has given up for today.

[drax]

Oh how I wish Hulkenberg was driving for Ferrari.

Track with these conditions, there is talent but also being on the track at the right time. Not taking anything from Hulks lap though

[tifosi1993]

But I'd say Max is better than Alonso in his prime. He drivers like a machine, not a human. His car control is on another level.

He was away for 2 years, returned, dominates his teammate.
You simply can't take anything away from him.

[drax]

What’s the weather forecast for tomorrow ?

[Kyss4k]

But I'd say Max is better than Alonso in his prime. He drivers like a machine, not a human. His car control is on another level.

Yeah, he doesn't make big mistakes, he is consistent, never has a bad day... This is something I thought Charles will grow into. I'm so disappointed in him.

What exactly is insult?!? I said they are clowns! For actions they make race after race, surely they are not professionals!
You gave me reprimand, when I wrote that even if I don't like LH, I would like him to come to Ferrari, as for sure he, as MS did, will take half of Mercedes team with him self. These guys are showing us for 15 years they are not capable of winning titles!

[tifosi1993]

QUALIFYING

[nani_s23]

Good job by our drivers & ferrari team.

Fred keeps on saying this car has potential. Enough of this b***

Neither of our drivers particularly good in wet conditions & given our car it’s even more horrible.

[Alonsomaniac]

Well, at least we can say Ferrari is consistent. No matter the weather circumstances, the moment they see a chance to screw up, they do.
Very sorry for the drivers, they did what they could.

Calling them names over and over is just planetf1, this is not that place and never will be. You can point out these things without such words.

Max makes you think he was biologically engineered.

Yup, the perfect driver. A driver with absolutely no weakness whatsoever. Too bad we would never have him at Ferrari.

[drax]

Checked the forecast no rain due for tomorrow… let’s hope for a good comeback race.

From what I read we are running with less downforce than the other teams so if tires hold up we might do a decent comeback.

Always glass half full

[Kyss4k]

Very sorry for the drivers, they did what they could.

Blocking and being slow?

[tifosi1993]

So both Max, Charles, Carlos and Albon did 5 laps on softs, but Charles couldn't manage to put a lap down when it was most needed.

Exactly my point. He did not have any disadvantage against others.

I'm sure Leclerc could have done better.

So you are saying Carlos is better than Charles in this conditions? Which doesn't look good on Charles now, does it, since Carlos is not a champions class driver.

[drax]

Blocking and being slow?

Yes, we should fire them both and hire the new best flavor of the month. Because the problem is not the car at all.

Who do you believe would want to join Ferrari, with the team in the current state ?
