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.
looks like the F60 has got some pace back, we'll just have to see about tyre wear and reliability now. looks like their big push did pay dividends. im surprised that the extra 10 or so kg kimi had to play with for balast didnt help him all that much over massa...
What's the point of all the technical updates when you have a bunch of morons running the show at pit wall!?!..
You screw up once and keep Massa in at the end of Q1, so then of course, the logical Italian thing to do is screw up again a couple of races later by keeping Kimi in at the end of Q1... might as well send Kimi out there out full wets on race day.
As I watched Kimi's time tumble from 6th to 16th I kept hoping they'd send him out again, but what do I know. You've got Schumi prancing about in his 5 million or whatever they pay him advisory role and you'd figure he'd say, maybe, hey, we should send him out?
But nah, not an ounce of common sense in that whole bowl of spaghetti logic. Next thing we'll have Stefano come out saying, "no need to rush to any hasty conclusions...we must carefully analyze what had happened...blah, blah, blah.
Morons. I love Ferrari, though. Just want to get rid of the Italians. Put a freakin German or Brit in charge.
We'll see a Ferrari on top within the next 3 races. Most likely Massa.
The new b-car is very effective, incredible that Massa managed 5th in quali with that much weight.
I'm amused by criticism of their interim DDD. It's not as simple as getting out the sawzall, hacking a hole, and slapping on some more cf. There's a saying, "Everything affects everything". I's very likely that drivetrain and/or suspension components have to be relocated. Which means redesign of those things. And those redesigns will affect something ELSE.
Oh, and every step of the way, the whole package has to be evaluated for aero, structural integrity, crash safety, and must maintain their functionality.
And we're trying to make this car lighter, not heavier.

I've said this again and again, whenever Schumi is present Kimi F$#s up or gets F#$ed up, so, simply, please, keep the German away from the races!!!
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. H.P.Lovecraft

yes ..i have a better IDEA.. just put kimi into a sabatical for the rest of the season ( he would love to start drinking as he use to do ) and bring schumi in he would help ferrari to develope the car and make a better today for ferrari.
TOTAL!!!! Kimi has never been a complete package but good drinker

Yeap, it is laden with a lot of fuel. However, the Ferrari engine has relatively high fuel consumption, causing Massa to run out of fuel in the end of the race. So, in the end, it does not matter much...?
