Sorry guys but this adventure for Mercedes is to big. I think that Mercedes couple of first races didn't understand tires,now this problem is solved. Ferrari have to much problems with the PU. My personal opinion is if Ferrari win the title or vettel will be miracle. I'm not pessimistic but that is reality.
Just throwing this out there.....so Kimi is 3rd and Vettel is 4th. Could we see a repeat of pitting Kimi first and Vettel jumping ahead to gain pts........food for thought.
Lets see how the race goes.
We are not the strongest in qualifying, but there's still a chance we may be better in race condition.
Vettel needs to finish no more than 1 place behind Lewis, if not ahead of him.
If teams had to quit burning oil at this race, we might be the culprits
I wonder what the team will have to explain for such a huge gap to Merc. Ferrari in season development woo seems to persist. I am afraid in one or two more races we will be behind RedBull like in the past.
Perhaps Mercedes have started to benefit from Allison.
I feel bad about todays results, but the race is tomorrow.
I think we got the set up wrong. On top of the PU issues. That explains why RB are much closer. I hope we were running conservatively to protect the PU.
I am not disappointed with third. But it is the gap to the front that is disappointing.
It's just one of those difficult wekeends. Hamilton had one in Sochi, Seb has one here. Nothing to be worried about.
All to play for tomorrow 😊

If anyone gets Sebs or Ferrari's thoughts on the poor performance compared to Mercs please post it , hoping they have a race setup, but thats abit too much wishful thinking
Yes we have PU reliability issues but with regards to RB, they have made incremental strides in the PU(Max PU breaking down last race and now Ricci during quali in Baku) but since
Adrian Newey has taken the reigns back on this RB13 since his outting, we are seeing an evolution aero wise (7 races in) in a more competitive car.
Damn guys, what happened? They were faster in both corners and straight line speed? I expected Merc to have the edge here, but no way i thought it would be more than a second! We were ranting here a lot after Bahrain qualy when they were half a second faster than us. But now? They have double the edge than in Bahrain. Really hope this is a track specific but i think it's obvious they have a stronger PU. I don't know if they were way faster than us in the corners as well though.
As for Lewis, he drove a mega lap, half a second faster than VB.
I seen a lot of people here I've not seen in ages because we didn't do well shock it's one bad quali get over it
By the way, all Kimi said was that we struggled with tires. So what? We have Merc's problem now and they fixed theirs?
Well, we didn't have enough time after the red flag. Nevertheless, it was clear they are a lot faster whatever the reason was. Hope it's a track specific and we will fight back in Austria. As for tomorrow, i hope there won't be any troubles at the start and for Seb and Kimi to bring the car home in P3 and P4. That's the max we can do. Nevertheless, i didn't hope for a win here anyway, i just wanted P2 or P3 for Seb. As for Austria and Hungary, we must go for the win in order to win the championship.
Vettel: At the end I was alone and had no tow in the last sector. I could have done a bit better but probably P3 was the maximum.
Vettel: The result is Ok but I'm not entirely happy. This morning didn't help but it's not an excuse, we are doing a lot of laps.
