Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene said after the bittersweet Monaco GP that his team won’t give up on this year’s championship as the season is still in its early phase. The team is preparing developments for the forthcoming race in Canada.

In response to the suggestion that would be behind Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull, he said: "Ferrari, not sure. Not sure Ferrari is a threat.
"Red Bull, definitely, Toro Rosso, who have quite a good car, and Mercedes."
Up until Q? ...thats when it matters no?f1316 wrote:That was completely tyre dependent - Ferrari were fine (if not quite as good as Mercedes) in S3 up until qualifying.
So long as they have the tyres in the right temperature range - and they're better the softer the tyre - they'll be fine; I think they'll be with the front running pace.
on the contrary , as demonstrated at barcelona , the more races rosberg can prevent hamilton closing the gap the better his chance of being WDCwickedz50 wrote:Whoever qualifies on pole will wrap this one up without any incidents. Hamilton will begin his 4th WDC charge from here on. Rosberg (if not broken down like 2014 after the crash incident) should be smart for the next few races and not get involved with Hamilton for the win, a few 2nd place finish wont hurt him. Chances of a superior race winning car to Hamilton will come. If he is broken down like before mentally then I am looking at a big slump in form. RBR will slip in a few second place finish in Monaco and next.
I will keep Ferrari out of my expectations. They better pull their acts together as a team (Drivers, mechanics and strategists all ) else the 2nd place will go by end of 2016. A win this season looks out of question.
They did some setup changes which basically compromised their pace in Q. That doesn't mean that they will be beaten by McLaren in Monaco. That's ridiculous.GoranF1 wrote:Up until Q? ...thats when it matters no?f1316 wrote:That was completely tyre dependent - Ferrari were fine (if not quite as good as Mercedes) in S3 up until qualifying.

Ferrari was slower in sector 3 to Redbull,Mercedes and Mclaren...tyre wise Ferrari has problems on a smooth track whit tyre temps....Monaco is the smootest of all according to Pirelli.
I think its quite clear Mclaren has better chassis than Ferrari but i to dont think Mclaren will beat them in Monaco because even there 80bhp deficit means something.F1NAC wrote:They did some setup changes which basically compromised their pace in Q.
