Why didn't Massa set a time? .. Serious answer.. Mercedes were using option tyres... So it is
Red Bull-McLaren-Ferrari-Mercedes-Renault
Seriously, what's with the Ferrari bashing! I am not a Ferrari fan but how can any true F1 fan take enjoyment from an F1 team going through tough times? What will happen when Vettel eventually signs for Ferrari?WhiteBlue wrote:Ferrari are still going down!
Cause he used set of soft tyre in Q1 if i am not wrongSBR9 wrote:why did massa not run in Q3? saving tyre for race?
He was going to be down on a set of tyres if he had set a time. By not setting a time he has saved a set for the race. Could be a 4 stop strategy for the race.Echo wrote:Why didn't Massa set a time?
I'm a bit confused as well. He said he may has got a bad set of tires, but 1.1 secs difference?spadeflush wrote:Was Schumacher on hard compound tyres?I really hope he was.The gap to Rosberg is huge
No bashing, just the hard facts! Ferrari simply do not have the pace at this time.andrew wrote:Seriously, what's with the Ferrari bashing!

Schumi used softs. Massa had no unused softs left.MrBlacky wrote:Sure?Echo wrote:Yes Schumacher used hard rubber, Rosberg used option tyres so Rosberg goes into the box about lap 3
To say they are going down though is very premature. If anything they are in the same place they have been so far this season.WhiteBlue wrote:No bashing, just the hard facts! Ferrari simply do not have the pace at this time.
They do see to be going backwards, but they also just had a huge update and only a few practice sessions of varying moisture to get it all tickety-boo. It's never wise to write off Ferrari this early.WhiteBlue wrote:[

Could it be that he was on a used set from Q2? He might intentionally be covering it up in the interview?andrew wrote:Schumacher was just interviewed on BBC 1. Seems he had no grip on the final set and has no idea why so I doubt it was him being on hards. Could well be a dodgy set of tyres as he was flying before Q3.
