[aladinmk]

I registered just to reply, to everybody that says that ferrari was slow , than they weren't listening to the team radio at the end of the race ,mark webber was closing up on alonso , and he got reashured he was on the soft tyres (qicker) and do you remember how it end ????

so please , don't hate just accept they had really bad qalificatons and thats it

PS, the diference between the soft and hard compound is around 1 second

Welcome mate, I guess having something to say is a pretty good reason for registering. Better than having nothing to say but saying it anyway...

Now that you're here, stick around!

First of all welcome to the forum.

Slow is relative...It appeared to be slower than the Macs and RB.So yeah.
Noone is hating.Bad qualifications is just an excuse to Ferrari fans.That was hardly the problem IMHO.Button was all over Massa with the MP4-26.Mark Webber yes u can say he had a bad qualification as he is supposed to drive the fastest car at the moment.If Ferrari were faster they would have qualified better.Maybe their set-up was wrong...Or just the car lacks something.

Before i am mistaken from anyone i say the above based on the Melbourne performance.Maybe next race things change dramatically.

Trulli puts a whole different spin on the Ferrari performance deficit, and claims it is the fault of the Pirellis tyres, says that the only two guys that did not suffer from the inconsistency, were Hamilton and Vettel. Also points to the difference between Webber and Vettel.

So it remains to be seen wether it was al the fault of the 150 Italia.

[Richard]

"fault" is too strong a word, it means Pirelli failed in some way.

All drivers had the same tyres, only a few made them work - most notably Perez. The teams need to try harder, Pirelli have done a good job.

[bot6]

Apparently, Trulli is suggesting that there would be good and bad batches of tyres, and that everybody did not get the same gear?

[Jimi_Hendrix_1967]

No, he said the construction was such, that only a very small window made them come to normal operating temps, that even the smallest set up change made them go outside the window, and that most of the field had trouble getting there. He also pointed to Perez as example. If you get it right, the tyres work good, if not, it has consequences up to two seconds deficit.

With that in mind its not strange that Ferrari was unable to explain why all of a sudden their old data wasnt corresponding to the testing.

What's the maple syrup for, and why do they need 2 jars of it?

Brake system fluid.
There are two cans most of the time. Don't know details why.

Even though the question was [hopefully] intended as a joke, Timbo also deserves an answer. The front and rear brakes are separated in case of either one failing:

The brake fluid itself is stored in two brake master cylinders, contained in the nose cone and packaged in between the suspension components for space reduction. These master cylinders contain the brake fluid for both the front and rear brakes. The front and rear systems are always connected seperately as required by the technical regulations. Such design allows that either the front or the rear wheels can still slow down the car when one of the circuits would fail.

Yes, that was actually me trying to be humorous. Sad, I know.

So, rear brake master cylinder is also in front?
Oh, when I think about it, of course it is.
