a VET DNF or ALO finishing infront of VET can always happen tomorrow

As a extremist Ferrari supporter, i'm sick and tired of this garbage ferrari management where a bufoon like Stefano Dominecali who brings 0 knowledge of F1, Cars, Loopholes, anything remotely useful...is allowed to run my team when he is so clearly not delivering in his role.

I am sick and tired of the pressure being laid at Fernando's door every week, the team need to deliver what is required and to be honest, Alonso has every right to tell these clowns to get stuffed....yet another week of "Well Fern, the car is a truck in qualifying again, see if you can avoid a crash at the start then reel in about 6 cars during the race to save your championship",

We totally utterly rely on him for everything, and its not acceptable.

Disgraceful.

as extremist Ferrari supporter you should be happy to have the passion to follow them no matter what. I don#t like this "ultra" behavior of interference. Sit back and enjoy the battle instead of complaining, hope dies last.

Where did I say I would not follow Ferrari no matter what? NOWHERE, so check yourself before you come at me.

Secondly, "Hope dies last" is one of the most stupid things ive ever heard, I see it on the other Garbage forums like Autosport and the Scuderi Forums (worst forums ever by a mile).

Fernando Alonso has had enough, it's clear as day, the amount of pressure he is being put under to salvage the season of an under-performing team is not acceptable, you'd have to be blind not to see this, it's obvious.

Ferrari should be embarrassed, compare them to Red Bull.

Red Bull DELIVER then they leave it to Vettel to finish the job. They don't stagnate for multiple seasons and lay it all on Vettel's shoulers to get them out of the hole and they never come up with crap like ''hope dies last''. They PERFORM, they dont HOPE.

Ferrari supporters need to get real about this, seriously, accepting failure and idiotic bufoons running the team has nothing to do with being ''loyal''.

[siskue2005]

Hahaha, all the Alonso fans are crying luck luck etc etc
It was luck which also brought him so close to Wdc this year

[siskue2005]

You forgot to mention Vergne, I think it was, just giving him a place.

TR is a disgrace. They shouldn't be there. We were all joking about Sauber and Ferrari, but RB and TR are really doing that.

Same as Alonso's lap dog, utter disgrace

I want to say Vettel's third wasn't down to luck and that he drove at least an OK race, but when you look at the facts... First, he had contact with Bruno Senna in what was a very optimistic overtake attempt. He could've easily lost half his front wing. A rookie driver would at least get a slap on the wrist for doing that. Then, he was being careless (like the driver ahead of him) and barged into the DRS sign. Not to mention he brake checks people whenever there's a safety car. Don't like the taste of your own medicine ? Toys out the pram right away, screaming on the radio. After that he went all four wheels out of the track intentionally since it was his only option to overtake at the time. His team probably told him to give the position back after hearing Lotus complain on the radio.

That's not a good drive. Even without those 3, it wouldn't have been anything special. He was very very lucky today, especially with the number of guys tripping over each other. Hulk/Di Resta/ Senna at the start, and then Rosberg slashing Grosjean's tyre and losing his own front wing in the process... None of which is Vettel's fault of course. Not to mention the perfectly timed safety cars, he probably couldn't have placed them better if he was given the chance. But he benefited massively from all those, and he would not have ended up anywhere near the top 5.

Fastastic result after starting from the pits, yes.

Fantastic drive, not.

+1

A few people clearly don't judge races on CIRCUMSTANCES and instead do this.

24-3=21 places gained = AMAZING DRIVE SEBI

Anyone who thinks that passing a couple of Marrusia's and Caterhams and breaking your front wing twice in the process is the stuff of legends, really needs to wake up a bit.

Put Fernando Alonso in the Red Bull, the title would never go down to the wire, it would be over come lights out in melbourne.

i have just given up on ferrari. since abu dhabi 2010 , they have gone worse and worse. it was pitty to see fernando can't chase kimi in first half of the race. they experienced more tyre degradation compare to others ( did confirm by massa) , alonso tried everything in his armory but he ran out of laps to overhaul kimi , once in DRS he could have easily past kimi.

what a "---" team ferrari has become , even if they provide alonso a car that is .2 sec slower to red bull he will win all the races. they have ruined the career of alonso. he is riding a "crippled" prancing horse in race . every time they bring updates
and they don't work , same story is served every weekend - "fernando was phenomenal , we are trying our best to improve cars , we believe in our chances" .

lets accept the truth "championship is over for fernando and vettel is riding on luck".its better for alonso to drive "sauber" than driving for "ferrari" , they should fall back to number 4 or 5 to realize how bad they are.

I have never seen so much BS in a post since a while. Seriously.

Unfounded statement(s) mate. Nothing against you and the emotion, but what a crock of s#@$ this is...

Him racing for Ferrari is making arguably grinding him into one of the best F1 racing drivers the sport has ever seen.

Ferrari is ALWASY there and there abouts in terms of a chance for the championship...not Sauber.

They dont have a bad car this year, sure, but no where near Ferrari in any aspect, or any year. Not even when they had BMW money

mate i did agree , this post was written in heat of the moment . i am one of the biggest supporter of ferrari but finding it hard to see that they are unable to provide fernando a car to compete against bull. i do believe that fernando , ferrari can repeat success stories of michael's time . being a supporter , i do have right to feel pain and criticize at times. i dnt want to see repeat of 2010 but i can foresee it happening again. its frustrating to see ferrari qualifying 5/6 every other race and then fernando fighting like "tiger"to keep his chances alive. i dnt agree tht this is true potential of ferrari.

[McMrocks]

ferrari as good as sauber? no way!
You have to remember Ferrari had 2nd fastest race pace in India. ABD was a very special race in things like Setup.
If the Updates work or not we'll see in America.

[FLuidd]

Domenicalli and Fry should leave Ferrari ; every time I see their face , the word "mediocrity" keeps appearing in my head.

[SSS]

The whole 50% to 60% logic is insanely stupid & for noobs. Lotus did the same & created a Great Car & Developed it brilliantly.

Mercedes could have come up with a better excuse.

I disagree, Lotus haven´t developed their car at all really.

It´s been up and down and they have no idea why. Just like Mercedes.

Lotus is the best CAR in 2012 apart from Fancy Semi-Illegal Exhaust, bending Front Wings & holes in between a nose.

From a strict legal viewpoint had FIA been firm on regulations & if Lotus had a Alonso instead of Grosjean they would have won WDC & WCC by now.

Its a BRILLIANT CAR.

Redbull is just too quick. ++ they did YDT in UAE last week, so friday is crucial for ferrari. Crucial

[MercAMGF1Fans]

I'm sorry, that just looks ILLEGAL/IMMORAL/Unsporting - Rubber-Bulls
The FIA should just Ban Newey more than anything

[alogoc]

To touch on the tyre warm up topic, I'm not sure if it was mentioned before, but redbull may be circulation some of that hot air off the brake rotors to the inner circumference of the wheel rim to warm it, which then warms the tyres.
That air of the brakes should be very hot and is almost independent of surface characteristics.
Slamming on the brakes on the parade lap or anytime during the race is sure enough to generate enough heat to warm the rims and then the tyres, regardless of the track conditions.
I suppose they may have an interesting ducting arangement to circulate some of that hot air before it exits the wheel rim.

Is there a chance all points are taken away from them because of it!

thats all we Ferraristi got left!!!
