2012 Indian GP: Friday & Saturday Practice Sessions Thread

[FerrariFanBoii]

You are way to pessimistic for this forum . Put it in more optimistic view. We will fight, fight, fight, and than SV is going to win.

I am just joking (about you being pessimistic). There are few people out there very allergic to being realistic (they call it being pessimist)

Haha, well... Yeah i'm, being realistic, unless we get a a good quali, not 5th of below, Vettel will walk it again.

Does someone know URL from that greek site where we can get all individual lap times for all drivers so that we can analyse the times a bit better?

As soon as FIA publishes the lap times it will be here:

That last lap by Vettel on his long run was mega.

[anuragiyer8989]

P3 is still reasonable.....an improvement from P4!

[F2002]

They are testing new parts, gathering data, first impressions are the times mean nothing.

Without the benefit of having watched all of the Free Practice sessions this season, I would have completely agreed with you.

Like you, though, I am still hoping that a decent race package will help us win on Sunday.

[medeni73]

Dont forget that after India comes Abu Dhabi which is even more RBs Mega Track...

[FerrariF60]

That last lap by Vettel on his long run was mega.

of course it was, that red fool car is on RAILS...unless ferrari come up with some clever updates that really work, this DAMAGE LIMITATION weekends will NOT win us the championship.....very SAD BUT TRUE

[stefa]

If you are so damn realistic & an expert who can preict the race results from FP1 itself, you know Ferrari isn’t pleasing you, why bother watching them? Don't play with your blood pressure

Judging by speed and balance of Red Bull cars it is going to be SV win. I am bothering watching because I LOVE FERRARI and formula 1 racing, but I don't like to be pulled by nose and telling me that everything is right, Ferrari is bringing big, huge, small updates to next race, when there is nothing like that! Even FA said that there is more talking than working in Ferrari.
I am not playing with my blood pressure. Thanks for worrying, I am healthy almost 40 year man, and I have learned from season finale in 2010 a lot!

[F2002]

A very good circuit

That's true. And it looks more "finished" than it did last year.

Certainly better than Abu Dhabi in my humble view.

[stefa]

Exactly. But I am being crucified for saying that!

[yz2006]

if alonso can make it P3 in qualifying, i would be very pleased. i am just worried about maccas, especailly Hamster, who may steal P3 from us.

[stefa]

of course it was, that red fool car is on RAILS...unless ferrari come up with some clever updates that really work, this DAMAGE LIMITATION weekends will NOT win us the championship.....very SAD BUT TRUE

Lucky there are only 4 more damage limitations weekends.

Do you mean this one:http://www.msfree.gr/2012live.php

[zike]

so nothing changed from last GP

[FerrariFanBoii]

Exactly. But I am being crucified for saying that!

Yeah I know, I mean come on guys, we say every F1 weekend, that Friday is just Friday, we'll be better come Saturday and Sunday.. And it like never happens...

Don't think you have learned from 2010. Championship leader can loose the Championship in last race, so anything is possible. Yes RB are stronger, no denying the fact, nobody is pulling your nose down, but you got to trust the team which has numerous WDC's & WCC's. They might lose the Championship but they will try their best, or unless you have some capability to help Ferrari improve

[stefa]

Until they sort out wind tunnel first. Maybe that's the reason?

[FerrariF60]

Lucky there are only 4 more damage limitations weekends.

indeed, and then we get to move onto the 2013 season for some more damage limitation weekends....
this year has been a JOKE for the ferrari team....hopefully we'll be in a better form since we're NOT gonna be using that crappy underperforming wind tunnel we have and start using the toyota state of the art one until we finally going to fix and/or upgrade our own

[medeni73]

Do you mean this one:http://www.msfree.gr/2012live.php

Yes thats the one thanx! but it seems only when its live event it shows individual laps...

[Jose-Lorca Fan]

This is Red Bulls to lose. People won't like it but practice certainly points to that.

[scuderiafan]

Lol so being realistic means thinking the world is gonna end?
Rubbish. You guys are just keeping expectations down so you don't get disappointed, which is fair enough but the REALITY is that Alonso is close to the bulls on pure pace, and could have gone faster as he was on older tyres. That does not mean he was quicker than RB, but it isn't a domination like many would say.

[anuragiyer8989]

Now i know, what was in those boxes!!!

[FerrariF60]

This is Red Bulls to lose. People won't like it but practice certainly points to that.

i could not have put it any better myself...unless they're gonna have some misterious reliability problem come sunday, they will WIN THIS ONE

You misunderstood me or I was not clear. Any way my apologize for that. I have learned from season finale in 2010 not to be excited too much and, as you said not to play with my blood pressure. No I am not an expert of any kind that can be of any help to Ferrari. But I can tell you that, if I have noticed that there is a problem with my wind tunnel (which is like 20 years old) two years a go, I think I'll do something about that earlier...

But we had the lead for 8 races... We should have carried it through.. But our updates have been non-existance.. If so small they've hardly done much, I just hate saying... There is always next year... Fernando needs his 3rd WDC this year, but looking at it now, he's not gonna get it.

[anuragiyer8989]

i think they should revamp the aerodynamics team, or whosoever is responsible for it....and recruit some really good engineers...like Newey!

[medeni73]

We introduced new FW, new exhaust-ramp, new diffuser and a new floor...so we cant say they havent tried...

[stefa]

Now i know, what was in those boxes!!!

Share with us. Please!

[medeni73]

We can hope that new alternators wont work as expected come USA... :)

[stefa]

It is not they are not trying and updating the car. It is that they are testing those parts in faulty wind tunnel, for two years, for crying out loud!
