Exactly, RedBull were following Sir Jacks advice: Win at the slowest possible speed!raymondu999 wrote:The Red Bull's were holding back, controlling and managing the race. The McLarens were pushing hard to make places. Not a fair comparison at all.

Apparently they went into conservation mode early in the 2nd stint.raymondu999 wrote:Here's me secretly hoping that he did that with engine revs turned downdjos wrote:Btw, Webbo grabbed the fastest lap of the race on lap 53 just to show the others what they where really capable of.
Yes I agree, he can not afford another meltdown like with McLaren. Then he was upset about the new guy and Massa is definetly not a new guy. On this occasion Alonso is new with the team so maybe he will just have to outdrive him. Will be interesting to see the outcome.Tazio wrote:Bulk telling it like it is!

He doesn't really address their engine "situation", but even this tifosi has to accept the reality that Ferrari has a serious situation on their hands.
On the up side I don’t have to worry about getting up at some ungodly hour and watching FP1 and FP2 as they will have engines that are practically worthless with revs turned way down and even on low fuel doing tire evaluation. Even Sat IMO will be very conservative, perhaps only running until they are comfortable with their race setup. I expect them to run a quali simulation or two. After last week’s mistakes I see them using q1 as a test of the limits, and only run as much as is needed to advance for sure into Q2, and until the drivers are comfortable that they have found their limit. If I understand the situation correctly Massa is in better shape than Fred. It will be interesting to see how Fred reacts to having a fight with his team mate for the most points of the season. I am willing to bet that he will not (as badly as some of his detractors wish, and as irrational as the press twist his words), have a meltdown like he had at McL' If anyone can figure out how to turn this into a tangible sig bet,
I will accept the proposition.
