Cheering for Ferrari is that friend. Do as I hope the driver.

Im amazed how some of you still pray for Ferrari to develop something special... vsaka čast (thumbs up for persistence anyway). If its not India obviously, then maybe the next race, and then if not the next race, maybe but surely on the next one... Oh wait... its almost end of the season by then. True Ferrari fans it must be said, but WDC is long time lost with two DNFs. On development race they have no chance, being constantly 0,5s from pole.

Simply Ferrari doesn't seem to develop fast enough parts that would bring significant gain. In my opinion they concentrate too much on details instead of developing things that bring bigger gains over a long run; "cheat" (bypass) the regulations if necessary. I dont know where the real problem lies (aero design looks like) but I would say their leadership is weak. Domenicalli & Tombazis had their chance, I think its time to let someone else take a try.

Recent comments from Alonso " we are fighting against Adrian newey " lol :lol: as if he is driving an HRT designed by his ex
Frankly speaking Alonso is the one who is crumbling like a 3 day old toast slapped with Luca's long hair

I hear Alonso is now cuddled with Filepe baby in Luca's crib :lol:

@InsideFerrari - To those who think that there's a coldness between @alo_oficial and @insideferrari the truth is we have never been as united as we are now. Forza Fernando! Forza Ferrari!

Another race and again the big update package is delayed....... :evil: ............

For how many more races should we wait for those so called update that will made the car competitive and give the drivers to do some very goood qualifying and race as well.............. and Alonso is the a-lone person who is right now very optimistic about F2012......................


and about Alonso '100 per cent' sure he will be champion in 2012....................... ........ :?

don't know if they (merc) will increase the budget from next year on... just imagine: red bull for instance changed and rebuilt their car 31(!) times so far in this season. what about merc? 5-7?

enough said.
Enough said? :?

And what about the budgets of Lotus and Sauber? Or even Force India, Williams and Torro Rosso, who are now all faster than Mercedes AMG? A marquee works team getting their collective butts handed to them by customer teams and perennial midfielders operating at only a fraction of their budget, facilities, manpower, etc?

Despite the team's numerous claims of daunting challenges on the organizational & engineering front, none of those absolves them from the fact that smaller teams with no/less big names and who are also dealing with their own problems are now doing a much better job than what this team is pretending to do.

Sorry if that might seem harsh or bitter in any way for some of you. Three consecutive years of big talk, small results, endless excuses and the inevitable disappointments can do that to you.
If you want to be a top team you have to have a big/huge budget. Sauber inherited all equipment from BMW and had the luck to have James Key. But we don't think of them as a top team.

There is an auto motor and sport article saying red bull rebuilt most of their car, especially the rear, 31 times so far.

Mercedes said themselves they want to combine cost efficieny with having a very good car. they see know that this is not possible.
man!!! Mercedes invest too much for this shitty car... if i was Z probably, i fired Ross by now or i quit this League and you talk about Sauber and BMW but Mercedes also had Honda

[0:30] :mrgreen: looks like (WTF?? you ask me about high finish but we can't even fight with Williams so how can i fight with Vettel?) ](*,)
edit2: and about his collection i'm sure this car will be placed far away from Ferrari :mrgreen: (might get sick from it)

I am confident that this weekend will be the turn of Alonso. I am confident that title!
It's easy to give up, is hard to do what he is doing: going up!
Let's turn the tables and be champions in Brazil.
Trust the Pilot!

Points are awarded on Sunday.
The team will study the data and see which parts functioned properly, and what did not work. I'm sure Alonso will be champion this year. You are very deserving.

Re: Red Bull RB8 Renault

COULD SOMEBODY ENLIGHTEN ME ?
This morning at FP2, Weber's RB was "sparkling" as Vettel's car on Indian GP.
They seem to call Web back to box, where they repaired the lower part of tea tray with some adhesive tape. BUT, there was liquid pouring from the car on this area ............ Even when he left box, he left a considerable "trail" on pit lane.
I dont know if someboy saw this, because I think there were the cameras from ANTENA3 spanish television that picked those images.
I do not imagine a reason to have liquid in this part of the car, and of course, where it could it be "picked" by the car on track.
Could it be RB is using some sort of liquid "mass" there to increase wheight on braking by mass transfer??
This may sound foolish, but could be they are "condensating" humidity by some sort of vortex effect and accumulating it during the race time on the front part of the RB ?? A well placed ballast (mostly so low ) will give an advantage. I think.
Comments really wellcome.
