Any way, to all those who are celebrating, Merry Easter!
I admit, I may have overreacted about Ferrari's performance today. However, I got shocked finding out Merc is 0.5 faster than us in qualy, when it was so close in Melbourne and Shanghai. Nevertheless, it seems like the culprit is that turbo overheating problem which I hope Ferrari can easily fix it and that Bahrain was only a one-off when it comes to qualy pace. Also it looks like this track doesn't suit us very well. Any ideas why that could be though? Whatever the case may be, it will be extremely difficult to win here. Seb has to pull the mother of all starts.
Hoping Kimi to get his first podium today. Who knows.... he was one of the quickest in the long runs. He might surprise us.
Happy Easter Everyone \(^_^)/ hope you enjoy tha day with your families
Is this a good time for the yearly 'Sack em all thread'?
Hero's come and go, but legends never die!
My main concern this season is the starts. We have got bogged down and trounced by the Mercs and even the RB's at both races. If we can take one of the mercs at the start, we're in for a great race. If we can't, or if Seb gets taken by Ricciardo I will be more... frustrated. Hoping for a good race in general. Damage limitation will be second for Seb - but I hope he takes the win. It will certainly shut some people on this forum up, and I'll win my bet ;)
Hahaha too funny! I dread the outcome of this race if it doesn't go our way, not because Ferrari have failed and we should sack everyone... but because this forum will be an unbearable place for the next fortnight. Fingers crossed Ferrari surprises those that need to be surprised!
Alonso in talks with Renault for 2018...
That would be good for him and for Renault.
God I hope these RIC rumors for next year are true...
We already did. I believe the wings are inspected every weekend.
All wings tend to flex a little bit under load, it is impossible to have 100% rigid wings.
The inspection is to ensure that they do not flex any significant amount that can give a big advantage.
From what I've seen, Ferrari's wing movement is fairly typical. It's no where near what we saw with Red Bull years ago.
Its funny that Marko is the one complaining when Red Bull has been known to use flexing front wings in the past.
you get from the top 3 teams.....so that leaves out Ferrari.....which leaves MB and RB......LH will more than likely stay and I'm sure they will extend VB contract now that both are going to push each other..nice battle between those two. That leaves RB.....Ricci I would pick over the Hulk as its apparent that RB's golden child is Max which he is looking like a #1 and Ricci a #2. IF, Alonso goes to Renault, which he would have to lower his "market value" and Renault would have to come up; they both would meet in the middle, they(Renault) would keep the Hulk and get rid of Palmer(dismal performance)....Alonso (35yo) would be a #1 and Hulk #2.
