Unconfirmed report, Ferrati with overheating issues due to engine repackaging

Is the weather warmer today?

[vetalo]

Because of new engine regulation next year - Ferrari got it's priority wrong this year and that is the truth we should not be having this problem because last year engine was not bad at all

[Ed Harley]

Wasn't bad, just not good enough.

[PURE PASSION]

Even if they are doing what is wrong - What happened to Ferrari this morning should not have happened if they use pre-check testing principle that applies to Aircraft. that is must run well out of the box. Yes you will airplane crashes but how many or how often.

Are you kidding me!!!You are telling me that they didnt dother do one simple thing like that,and thats the cause for todays delay??????

[mirafiori]

you really want me to send that?

Great reply Rob, reading the unfair comments after two good days in the office is a joke.

[S1000RR]

Nice to see that Haas F1 already did 53 laps on their 3rd day.

[Ed Harley]

And it is time for the lunch break.

[stefa]

Folks, keep it calm! No need to fire them all!!! It is just a test! Things like this happens, and that is way it is called TESTING!

[mirafiori]

I find it hard to believe over heating issues after Vettel did 126 laps yesterday.

yup, McL had the same problem last year

[S1000RR]

Lol, you are comparing our situation to McLaren last year? Testing gets people all messed up

[ragfone]

omg... I can hear the panic in most of these posts... we are still 24 days from the first race and based on one ... fuel/overheating unconfirmed reason and loss of ... 4 hours of test running, the team that yesterday afternoon was lauded and praised, today is being lambasted and "they should resign" tones...?
people chill... just take it as a hiccup and be reassured, that the team is ABSOLUTELY doing EVERYTHING to ensure it will not happen again for the duration of the season... and finally, what better place for issues to appear than testing, not in a race!!!!!
enjoy the testing further.

I just want to be fast and fast and fast and good and win WDC

[mizf1]

Lets hope Kimi can do some decent laps this afternoon

From what I have seen the past 2 days, most of the people who are panicking are new to the forums lol

no I am not new, and I panic since Schumi left

[NenoX]

that kinda makes sense hahahaha!

[Cale24]

I don't believe in bad luck unless it involves Kimi & Ferrari F1 cars these days >_<

4 HOURS lost to this fuel issue, so frustrating. Still, let's hope its the last delay for a while. He needs to try make up as much time as possible in the afternoon stint.

it was a carry over from seb's late stoppage yesterday

[RedRebel40]

Ferrari should have done more reliability and system checks at the factory and with advanced testing beds like Mercedes does.

dont they use there own cars? Seb his Kimi his?

[Ed Harley]

Half a day gone already so perhaps they have changed today's programme and there is no rush anymore. Or the problems continue and the day is a write-off.

[fronaldo]

Think today testing is off early

[hakanabi]

Anyone know what's going on now? Is Kimi still in pits? I thought they fixed the fuel issue but why is he not running now I wonder.

[NenoX]

well i just based that from reports from AS and sky. I would guess that they would only have 1 for testing if that was the case

[hakanabi]

We have not even started yet. Lol

[darkchild]

There seem to be obvious reliability problems today. Nothing unexpected if we want to beat Merc, we got to go so aggressive that our engine cover melts

yeah better that they find these out now than later. but i hope ferrari won't sacrifice the tight rear to solve some cooling issues (if any). *fingers crossed*
