I can confirm this. He is under wet setup and he said too that he will fight for a podium or even P1.

If it is raining and wet for the whole of the race, there is only one position where Alonso should finish and thats 1st. Lets just .

Lets see what happens, dont forget Massa needs to move the hell over as soon as Alonso gets in range, and he needs to do it nicely, not make it blatant either, Alonso being in 10th means he needs to be tidy at the start otherwise it could be night night, bad start or worse from Alonso and things aint looking good.

thsi time massa just needs to run a bit wide, he has practiced doing that all weekend, didn't even stop in qualifying. but a sneaky feeling inside of me tells me that he won't move over this time, if they should ask him that

It's great that people are behind both our drivers and don't see Massa's sole purpose as being to make way for Fernando. How rude that he outqualified him!

If he does they will just delay the pitstop.

Seriously, Massa isnt in the same league as Alonso, thats the bottom line here, Massa needs to get the hell out of the way as soon as Fernando gets near, Im interested in WDC's and Massa doesnt have what it takes to be a WDC right now.

He better move over, or he can race for Sauber next year, seriously, hopefully its being planned out behind the scenes, I would tell Massa straight up ''Fernando gets near, let him slipstream you or run wide or whatever, and dont make it blatant''. If Ferrari brief Massa correctly before the race, there is no need for another batch of ridiculous radio transmissions with Smedley apologising over the radio and such like.

See Rosberg has implied that they have a wet weather set up for tomorrow as well..

[hogo]

FIA may decide to stop the race if there will be too much water on track. So yeah...

fire him if he doesn't follow teamoders and he'll run quicker to fia than piquet jr did

[goferrarigo]

He probably won't be a threat to Alonso tomorrow because he will start 16th tomorrow, right. Hopefully rosberg can beat the 4 other main rivals.

[Hermann]

fire him if he doesn't follow teamoders and he'll run quicker to fia than piquet jr did

My thoughts exactly.

[Rob]

Yeah its good to know its not only ferrari gambling with alonso's set up. Ross Brawn must be expecting the weather that we are hoping for too.

You dont fire him for not following team orders, you say 'Felipe, Alonso whooped your @ss most of this season, you aint got what it takes to be WDC, we are letting you go, thanks and goodbye'

[Lithium]

The quali is disappointing, but if Alonso (unlike most of the top 9?) is truly on wet setup, not all is lost...
Tonight I'm going to be doing a raindance all night non stop...

[Tech_Skill]

Apparently McLaren are expecting wet patches tomorrow and they have already provided hamilton with a customised wet setup.

and you think he'll see it like that. don't think so. especially now that he has renewed his contract

Why not just pull Felipe out of the race if he's not allowed to race.

Dont see why he should risk his life for Alonso..or anyone else.

Let them race.. Alonso is good, we all know that, so let him fight his way past.
