And why did they not use the new rear wing for the quali simulations???

So far so good, Mal has dropped from the top group, so now it's the top drivers in both practices, so far:
Vet, But, Alo, Web, & Ham
3 of these drivers should be on the podium.
Salut Gilles
Because maybe they want to run them back to back and compare on track?Originally Posted by SoumyaBanerjee

It seems tyre degradation is huge here, even Ferrari is not happy with it...could be good actually cos Maccas must have even bigger problems then...

they seemed to have better tire deg at the previous race so I am not sure thats a good thing
we're number one

Looks like Q3 will be about saving tyres. Going to be 2 stops for sure Sunday.

HAM and RAI apparently setting excellent times on the longer runs,according to AUTOSPORT...and one thing's for sure,Fry and Co. will certainly have to stay up all night to make this dog of a car workable. ALO shouldnt qualify any lower than P5 though,and he was doing better than WEB overall..and im relieved not be a Merc addict,as they've been pathetic throughout both sessions. So much for their legendary coanda exhaust....

looks like fast times are done for the day. seems like we are all on long runs now

Important message for Sunday: Dear Alternators dont let us down and please let THEM down!!!

Macca's tyre deg has reduced exponentially after their introduction of new brake ducts in Hungary...they suffered a lot less than Ferrari at Monza....

To Vettel, "So far the options are starting to show degradation in other cars as well"
RBR deg problems aswell.

I'm no expert but the first time I saw the f2012 I thought it looked like a pig.
Sadly I think I was right and no matter what they stick on it she's never gonna be anything but a pig. Just have to work with what we have

@modeni : And that would hand victory to HAM,im sure...and i think the MP4-27 has been more consistently good...though the 1.48.340 was amazing by VET,i doubt whether HAM would have come close even without the last corner error....

We could be in for 3 stoppers on Sunday,with the Mercs perhaps having to do 4....

My conclusion for today: P4-6 are manageable for Alonso and Q3 for Massa cos our upgrades are not enough/dont work...RBs and Maccas are untouchable in Qualifying and in the race we will see...biggest disappointments till now Mercedes, Sauber, Renault...

We are laping fast now!
1,54s!!
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!

Agree with modeni's predictions...and this is more worrying because its evident that our sim-track correlation is still very poor....
Banned
I still think that a few setup improvements can yield some time for ALO....sadly,though,it wont be enough to enable them to fight for pole or the win....
Full Member
seem with our super-soft long run pretty good for both but tyre deg seem not promising..
Full Member
correlation problems are evident maybe they are not that bad as last year but still they havent managed to salvage all the damage from it... if their confidence was so high prior to Friday it could be really related with sim data that arent showing up on the track yet...

Marc Gené optimistic after the pace showed on long runs. Work to do for Qly. Rivals very strong.
Matthew
Did we finish the session using our old rear wing?
Banned
How strong exactly were ALO's long runs compared to those of the Macca and RB drivers??? RAI looked to be quite strong too....
George Kabardis
I'm not worried just wet.We've seing a lot of times that we don't see the true pace on FP.Remember at Spa button in all FPs was behind,and complaining about balance,and then on Q he was flying!So lets wait for tomorow.

i'm really tired of this....!i cant understand why a huge team like ferrari cant get better updates and actually get the car right at the front,when mclaren seem to able to do it every year...even last year mclaren were finally able to catch up with the rb7 ,which was a beast of a car.....its been so long since we've seen a ferrari dominate.....its getting really frustrating now , hearing stefano talk about bringing updates to the next race time and time again and then failing to deliver....!
