    No, they should carry on with development
    Do they know the meaning of development.

    It will be interesting to see what the team has to say after pinning their hopes on this race.

    Our gap to Mercedes is more or less the same. The time delta might be smaller than in previous races but the track is shorter so the deltas will be smaller consequently. But it is evident that quite a few of the other teams have closed the gap to Mercedes.

    and what did you hear exactly?

    for now I try to find out what the reference point was (or is) where we can measure where (and more in which term) we have improved the car with the new specs ...

    I was hoping for a bit better result today. But hopefully with a good start and race pace we still can get a nice result

    what the hell just happened?

    I saw FP 1,2, n 3 and we were looking good for second row. Missed quali and saw the result now. Some mistake? strategy? ... it did look like we had made a big step forward. was really excited about this race.

    Lets hope for a clear turn 1 and then a good race.

    The car was a dud from the start of the year and I was shouted down for saying so ... there needs to be a major re-focus at Ferrari if they want to be competitive again in 2015 ... until then this year can be written off.

    It is written off, Ferrari is not that stupid to pin any hopes for 2014. They just won't admit it, it is against the rules of common business sense. Fans have to watch tv, go to races, buy souvenirs and advertisers have to place ads. I think most of the teams have written off the season. All talk for development, upgrades, B-spec cars is just bla, bla, bla, for the mass public to part them from their money and drivers, engineers and team management, as well as BE to make their millions. They call it racing but do you see any of it??

    well, to be honest, behind the mercs.. the competition is still fierce. And there is a lot of money involved wrt the points we get in WCC. So i dont think the teams are lying and have written off the season. Sure, no one expects to beat the mercs this year, but they are still going hide for leather against the rest.

    Each load of new parts seems to be more of a hindrance than a improvement, what the hell is going on?

    Moreover, with all the problems that both Fernando and Kimi are experiencing, it's hard to say that reliability is good. Not a disaster like Vettel's car so far but...

    For us fans, to see the red cars in #7 and #10... huge disappointment. What a lustrum, by God!

    Yeah, the reliability is poor as well. Kimi is on his 4th MGU-H i believe. So penalty for him is certain. Knowing, that we sacrificed speed for reliability, that's yet another disappointment. This season is just a nightmare.

    BTW, it seems some of the new parts *did* improve the car a little, but apparently are a no-go because they make the PU run too hot.

    In Canada.

    For Pete's sakes, what is going to happen when we go to Hungary or Monza?!

    PS: as much as I criticised Felipe in the past, I feel I should eat my previous words and admire the guy for the solid performances he's putting up with the Williams.

    Rules and cars are pretty much the same, but rest of this season could be used as a testing ground. Not yet, but if this tailspin continues until summer break, I think it wouldn't be such a bad idea to sacrifice rest of this season to be stronger in 2015.

    Both of our drivers looked optimistic with the updates after FP 2 , both Fernando and Kimi said they expect some good results but all that went to nothing with the changes reverted....
    I guess those new parts VS the old ones needs different kind of setup too, and using most of the FPs to set up the car with those new parts isn't a good thing either.

    Maybe it's just me.. but why does Tombazis still have a job in Maranello?? All of his red cars have been crap aside from the F10 and F138, the latter which was beautiful crap (after RB was gifted the title by Pirelli)... This will be a long year. We should just pound round Fiorano until we blow things up to test and learn and give the FIA the bird while doing so. I know this isn't a productive post but I had to vent....

    +1.
    Also f1 is no longer a sport it is now just a business/entertainment, progressively shifted into the latter over the last 5 or so years. Too restrictive in terms of development

    Well I just hope we have good pace and a good start in the best case Fernando can be on/close to the podium! Iam just hoping Kimi will not have bad luck so he can move up the field as much as possible I know we all want a Ferrari win the race every time and Iam no exception but at the moment we haven't got the car for it so we have to get the maximum out of this grand prix!

    And relegate the best driver pairing to being nothing more than test drivers. A sad case indeed.

    Rosberg is class. And It shows MS still had it. I hope he wins the WDC. It appears from Hamilton's comments that the boy has had some ear-tweaking.
