Ferrari 150° Italia

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Clearly.

What of the new parts Alonso spoke of and documented on the F1 website?

Because people really want to blame Ferrari for everything in this world.

If Ferrari had so much influence over rules you would think they would have won every championship since 07. But they haven´t right?

I guess they are just doing a REALLY bad job at having influence over rules.

New rear wing
new rear suspension
new exhaust
new floor
new diffuser.

So explain me why Ferrari were faster by 7 tenth than anybody in S2, high speed corner?

Where they faster every single lap? Last time I checked Hamilton was quicker than Alonso when he was running his proper engine mode, but had to turn down early and lost pace (also couldn't look after his tyres as well). But the Ferrari did look good today, just not as quick as you are saying.

Ferrari has had a list of new parts every race and this timer they just happen to all be for the better?

What power level was Renault at today?

No, the competition came back to Ferrari.

Mclaren was only quicker when the Ferrari had not gotten the temps up.

When Alonso got the temperatures up he was hands down the quickest guy on the track.

Why are so many surpised by Ferrari's pace? They have been on the rise the last couple of races. They caught up(race pace) with Red Bull in Valencia and now they brought a huge amount of updates to Silverstone to really challenge for the wins. I'm not so sure that the regulations changes for the race were the main reason for their(Alonso's) dominance and neither does Red Bull or Ferrari if you read the post race interviews. I guess we'll see next race.

The mind of Alain Prost.
The dedication of Michael Schumacher.
The determination of Alex Zanardi.

I may be wrong , but a significant part of maggots-becketts-chapel is off throttle. Do we have some camera car to support or negate it?

Edit: Sorry didn't see the prior post.

They also quoted this is the first large package since they got the tunnel calibrated. You act like that never happened and Ferrari were so far behind because they don't know anything. I'm pretty sure that even if the the EBDs are given their balls back, Ferrari will win more races. Last year Red Bull had a huge advantage then Alonso went on a tear.

I think they have been weak all season. They get a win because the competition has a bad pit stop and/or is possibly operating with less than an optimum engine setting.

It was a good win for the team/driver, but hardly evidence that the car has improved.

I disagree. I believe a working wind tunnel is really all they really needed. It's an extremely talented technical team, I believe.
