1 second is simply forever..you just dont simply snap your fingers or blink your eyes and you gain that 1 second. its deja vu again of 2011 were the team tried to recover from that 1.4 seconds gap
its so damn hopeless..
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..............
Still no word from Flavio yet on what he thinks about Ferrari chances this year?
Alonso needs to leave this team, for his own sake. I hope he goes to Merc, RedBull or Lotus; whichever opens up first. Ferrari should get someone experienced with nothing to lose, like Trulli or Ruebens, to focus on development. Alonso can always come back once we've sorted ourselves out. Shame on us for wasting precious talent.
Forza Ferrari

Mercedes already has 2 good drivers, Schumacher contract is expiring but seeing the car after qualifying yesterday, he may continue. Lotus is in dire need of money, Grosjean is a pay driver, he is in by Total paying more, Lotus Group sponsorship to Genii Capital is also at risk, the parent company of Lotus, Proton is evaluating selling off Lotus Group to reduce losses. They will not be paying for another driver. If Alonso can bring Banco Santander with him, he can be in every team.
Only Red Bull seat is available, Webber contract is in expiring, although his contract is year by year. He did a good job yesterday and so I don't think there is any seat available in the top teams. Alonso has contract with Ferrari until the end of 2016, if Ferrari continues to be like this every season, what a waste.

You're absolutely right, you don't just blink your eyes and gain one second. However this season is much different than last year. There will be a in-season test before Barcelona. You best believe that the team is concentrating totally on getting things ready for the test and getting the car sorted. It's also very possible that Bahrain will not happen this year either, which would only help the team. But either way, Ferrari has a very good chance to regain its composure and come back very strong in Spain and the races after.
Yes other teams will be developing, however development is going to be limited this year, but either way it is still possible to emerge very strong after Mugello. The season isn't over. It's all up to the team and we can only wait and see how it plays out. But I have faith in the team and think it's very possible for us to be at the top of the grid in Spain or shortly thereafter.
edit: it also helps very much that the grid is much closer and different teams will take wins. The WCC is still very much possible. FORZA FERRARI
I see where you're coming from, but I don't think it would be. It's totally different and hence possibly revolutionary. It's a fair sacrifice of the WCC for the WDC - losing one in the hope of gaining one. It's not like you'd have an unfair advantage.
[ Referring to the idea of using one driver purely for testing & development in FP1,2,3 & Quali in aid of the other driver]

Shame, I feel sorry for all of us Ferrari supporters (e.g. Chicane venting out his anger, and rightfully so). All these months of optimism and hopeful anticipation, and it's come to this. The least we can do for our fellow Ferrari fans on here is allow them the space to express themselves. At this point the fans need the support as much as the team does.

Hello everyone... Seems awfully quiet here for a race.
in Autosprint
This from Alonso:
Č abbastanza ovvio che facciamo fatica anche in rettilineo. Non riuscivo neanche a passare la Hrt di Karthikeyan. Perdiamo 15-20 km/h sul dritto da altre vetture e questo č parte dei nostri problemi. E non promette bene neanche per recuperare posizioni in gara.
translation: "It's quite clear that we are slow even on the straights. I couldn't even pass the HRT of Karthikeyan. We lose 15-20 km/h on the straights to the other cars and this is part of our problem. It doesn't bode well to recover positions during the race."
being lapped is dangerous reality I'm afraid...
Forza Ferrari!
Good luck for us.
Forza FFF!
This season will be the "Rosso Corsa" season!
