Funny, i've never even noticed him making any difference.

I think it's really time to move on now and quit the crying when we have reason to be celebrating.

lololol.....yeah it sucks when you're slow and have to get out of the way when you're getting LAPPED, EH????

If Kimi ever gets a normal race, he will be up there and make Rosberg cry

**mizf1** · 29th March 2015, 10:33

So we know what the Mercedes are like running at full power, we don't need to speculate whether they were running 80% with another 1 sec performance in the bag.

Yes, its nice to watch McLaren so hopefully but in truth it is bad for F1.

McLaren is good, especially on Alonso's hand (as expected).

With a proper PU they will be definitely better than Toro Rosso, Williams and Red Bull.

**Ferrarikkonen** · 29th March 2015, 10:34

Yes, Kimi was unlucky. He had been slightly quicker than VET until qualy where it all mattered

yeah but He has to find a way to deal with the situation, otherwise there will always be a reason for him not to win.

**Red is Best** · 29th March 2015, 10:35

I feel for Kimi, could have been a 1-2 or a double podium.

Tough luck.

I think all this talk about Vettel not being a great driver can be put to bed now. He has already proven in these two races for Ferrari that he is a great driver. Absolutely flawless performances in both Australia and in Malaysia.

Don't mind the video if you are still hurt by Alonso's departure and comments recently.
BUT! This somg is just so fitting right now!

Great Car - Great Team Work - Great Drivers

We looking forward to many many many more great battles like this one.

Absolutely, he is real professional and second in points now, and has really good chance to win WDC this year.

WHAT A RACE!!! Dear me, i haven't been so pleased for a good 5 years. The car seems in a class above Mercedes. Really happy to see that we got our strong race pace back AND we're brilliant with the tires, which will be heaven in China.

Sebastian, this lad.... Christ, i'm so happy to have this lad with us. A brilliant and fun person to watch which just puts a smile on my face. What a race from him! All the time in control and maintaining a 10 sec gap even when Lewis tried his very best.

Mates, WE'RE BACK!!!

**mirafiori** · 29th March 2015, 10:39

SO SO HAPPY today, really pleased for the whole team and also for all us fans on this fantastic forum, enjoy the win everyone and like Seb said lets all get .

Vettel is a great driver, but he is not the next Schumacher. No body is.

Schumacher is Schumacher, Vettel is Vettel. Vettel is making his own name. No need to troll.

WOW, WOW, WOW. This is AMAZING!! I been waiting for this day for so long, finally its here.
I have been following this forum for a while, but I just had to join today, its just a special day. Today, I felt what it means to be Ferrari, why there is such an amazing aura around the Ferrari name. It is just Amazing.
Just a few opinions. Sky reporting is sometimes disgraceful, Ted Kravitz is so biased towards Lewis and British drivers. They are reporters, they should be unbiased, that is why they are there.
I just want to give a few of my thoughts on the race. Even if Mercedes did not stop during the safety car period, Vettel would have still won the race, Ferrari car had pace. I was following the F1 app on phone, sector times looked good and ultra consistent. Ferrari might not be the fastest car, but very consistent. Mercedes is fast, but they are not consistent and they are harder on tiers. Mercedes stints start fast, but end slower, Ferrari start just behind Mercedes on the stints but Mercedes has a sharper drop in pace compared to Ferrari.
During winter testing, I had a hunch that Ferrari was a good car, they had good pace. The car is ultra consistent, very good sign and they will be bringing more upgrades, and has more tokens, so it will be only good news. I do not think we are fastest, but we are fast, and we can take the fight to Mercedes. Finally, our team WON! Forza Ferrari!
