Spanish GP 2014 - Race Thread

[Kyss4k]

Too many know-it-alls in this forum who are ready for a keyboard fight at the drop of a hat. Not enough courtesy or tolerance. And way too many armchair experts who in reality know very little.

I don't see the point in all the negativity. It's gonna be interesting to see how well the F14T performs in Monaco and Canada. And if it's a bad year, it's a bad year. So what!? It's not like any of these teams aren't trying...

Not all the other teams are saying we will win this time (which Ferrari is saying year by year in different forms).

Must have been overtake of the century.

Massive butthurt detected!

What do you mean?

Driver of the day has to be Vettel, great recovery to take P4.

Ye so what our car sucks for the 4th year in a row. Spoken like a true fan lol.

[Kingdom Hearts]

Good race by both drivers, the car is too slow sadly, RB already miles ahead of us.

[Nero Horse]

The prancing horse should be shot and made into glue. What a poor display for the Ferrari V6 Turbo chainsaws.

Oh just shut up! You have absolutely no right to talk such mindless drivel! If you don't have any respect for Ferrari then just do everybody a favor and get out, now! Go vent somewhere else.

Firstly
We stuck with loser Stephano for too long

Secondly
His hangover will haunt us for at least 2 seasons

Thirdly
I don't see Fernando or Kimi winning any more titles in their careers.
New world order is clear
Lewis Nico Vettel and other kids.

[wacc]

And for what they need those 4 point, in a season like this?

You must be joking. With your attitude they could just run a few laps and than stop in the box because there is no point in running till the end in a season like this...

[windwaves]

We can all thank Domenicali for digging the team into a very deep hole. Unbelievable but it was all very clear from pre-season testing.

[FA fan]

Driver of the day has to be Vettel, great recovery to take P4.

I'm glad it was Ric on the podium and not vettel! But your right,driver of the day

[bonzo]

Our boys did 110% to get this result. But the cars... I have no words.

This is a sad day.

Sad days they have been since ..., well, can't remember.... but some years now.

No offense, but if it's mediocrity your after, the marussia forum is around the corner

[windwaves]

Ferrari should use the rest of the season for testing and prepare for next one.

Now that hurts.Hope you will surely be proved wrong.

Its impossible to cover ground on the Mercs.
Fernando waited till this leg start and hence said that they will win all races of the season

[Sanomas]

[QUOTE=bonzo;843090]

I assume race went well for Ferrari, an expected result with a good strategy, 5 and 6 that's all we could get...

I'm waiting for next race from now on!

Do you have any idea what the next race will be for us? Monaco is high DF-hi traction race. I bet RB will be competing the Mercs, not Ferrari.

I know...but what we did today was good enough and it was stay ON the position and hold it with out much terrible...indeed Monaco will be a tough race, but I'm guessing if we can get a good position at Qualify, then we can hold it on and hope to see a better result at race.

[sachin]

My biggest concern is how do we close the gap to Mercs in 2015,as few aero upgrades wont help and with this damn homologation nonsense, how on earth will we close this gap?

[windwaves]

Nico is great and I expect him to give LH a good fight.

I am saying that clearly ALL hopes for any title this year were all gone after first race, Ferrari is clearly 3rd, 4th strength car, so they are going to finish season what (with or without those 4 point) in 3rd or 4th position!

[tifosi1993]

I do not have problems with this GP except for the last pit stop of Fernando. They should have pit him early not to give Vettel a chance for undercut. The way they did it cost them 4 points.

IMO Alonso could do 29 laps on the prime, so don't know why they didn't try 2 stops

Yup, but hey what do we "intollerant know-it-alls" and "armchair experts" know? I was asking for Stefano's head years ago, same I do with Tombazis. One just recently admitted that he is a failure, the other one is waiting for his turn (come on Mr. Mattiacci, do not delay the inevitable!). But hey what do I know right?

[bonzo]

2015 engines will be homologated separately. Let's hope we build better PUs next time

They won't even get better numbers next year, if they will finish 4th / 3rd / 2nd etc now.

Spoken like a true glory hunter, lol.

ferrari can give up on 2014 and star work on 2015...we might even have a fast car at the start of the season,but what come barcelona 2015??!can we be on the pace in the development race??
there is something fundamentally wrong in the way ferrari work.working flat out isnt enough.working flat out in the RIGHT DIRECTION is what matters!
i suspect this is gonna be a long and painful wait....

OK, you can say what you want, but i can disagree. It could well be the difference to finishing 2nd or 3rd in WCC.
