2024 Brazilian Grand Prix- Practice, Sprint & Qualifying

[nani_s23]

Atleast 1mclaren is behind Ferrari ..

[Greig]

Just 3 hours to the race, lot's of cars to be built.

[PURE PASSION]

ok terrible performance.
To be outperformed by 2 RBs and be 1s behind a Merc and finish 6th
I think we can stop thinking about WDC .
Norris was extreme lucky but in Q3 he was mighty.

[nani_s23]

For years now

DF & getting those tyres into working range is the problem for Ferrari. I am surprised they were not able to get on top of this for so many years.

[nani_s23]

Williams & Aston look doubtful. Hope Sainz car is ok & will be ready.

[hakanabi]

Oh was not saying you did. Was making a joke in general about Mclaren being assisted by the FIA

Oh yeah, lol, who knows fia some sort of secret switch where they can sabotage these cars remotely lol

[elnano14]

The best we could do…!! Hope for some crazy starts & anything can happen as we saw in qualifying.

Even if we have a good start and Leclerc can get into P3-P4, we have no pace to catch the McLaren and if it stays raining then I also doubt we can defend again much better rain cars behind

Nope… McLarens are no where on full Wet tyres.
They switched to Inters (that’s a good move) & immediately they are in contention.

[racingbradley]

There will be some live action in a few garages over lunch today. What a fiasco of a quali.
I hope the rain stays away for the race......but that's too much to ask.

[Aziz]

We don't.

We don't know yet, we never tested race pace with full wets on inters

[hakanabi]

I doubt all those cars can be rebuilt in time.At least not albon's Williams

It’s all about perfection in this race, the one who doesn’t make the mistake will have the advantage.

Any driver can make mistakes under these conditions, so there’s always a chance.

I guess Mercs-Russell does have a good chance.

[hakanabi]

It's a rainy race, P6 is good enough if we have some race pace

But we don't have any pace in these conditions unfortunately.

Yeah, Russell has nothing to loose so he will be in full attack mode.

[racingbradley]

I used to love rain while MS was driving

MS was great in the rain but he was on bridgestons.

Maybe . But at least they are good in inters and dry. We are only goodish in dry and again in favorable conditions. Its like again its turned out bad to be good in 3-4 races. It gave us hopes and then we ditch it again . Now IF we are again super fast in the remaining 3 races it wil be understandable but its not that i have huge hopes. The McL new update sems to gave them the upper hand once more and RedBull looks to be on the same pace as us also. So WCC dream start to pull away and bacome extremly difficult. So we might see MCL wins both championships . THIS IS HARD !!!!!

[nani_s23]

Disappointed with Sainz…. WCC on the line. Hope he will drive his best in the race & make up some places.

This was never a Ferrari track given track characteristics you should take that into the account. Hence there will be pace deficit or compromise. McLaren is still the fastest car overall irrespective of Ferrari won last two races.

It’s all about damage limitation this weekend & attack next races. Remember where we were in mid season & now fighting for WCC is a great thing. Team did fantastic job. If not this year, there’s always next year. I believe Ferrari as a unit are in a strong position next year.

[elnano14]

The SF24 should be favorite in Vegas

The only thing that worries me is it will be cold as hell, so tyres temp will be a problem

McLaren probably will dominate Qatar though

Abu Dhabi maybe 50-50 of 60-40 in favor of McLaren

[Dune]

No tyre temperature, same old problems it seems. Should have improved but here we are, missing chance by chance.

Dont take me wrong. I dont blame the team . FOR SURE they did a fantastic job to recover from mid season. Its just as i said that now that we managed this little miracle and reach McL to under 30 points , unless something real good happen (Norris dnf ,or accident to throw him back) it will increase probalby to 50+ . And with 3 races to go and with no performance advantage from us , its almost impossible to recover. And as i said ,it will McL to win it. We where dealing with Merc & RedBull these last 10 years, but McL (for me) will always be our arch enemy . And it will hurt more then somebody else win it then them.

[nani_s23]

OFFICIAL: Sainz's Ferrari will start from the pit lane, with a new gearbox and a new engine.

[PURE PASSION]

Carlos will start from the pitlane and have a new PU and gearbox.

Yup …!! It’s Mclarens to loose both titles from here on. But it’s a long race, anything can happen.
Neither their drivers are good in Wet conditions nor do our drivers. As I said there will be red flags/SC’s in this race if the track is wet, the one who doesn’t make mistake & good in these conditions will have the advantage even if it’s a slower car.

To be honest I was never thinking of WDC. CWC looked more realistically Now even that...

[nani_s23]

They can play with the set up now.. add more DF & tweak the suspension.

[Dune]

Why was there no PU change for Leclerc? Does he need to lico for all remaining races?

[Greig]

Max probably can still win this race.

[Greig]

Why was there no PU change for Leclerc? Does he need to lico for all remaining races?

Because he did not wreck his car. lico is due to the thin air, new engine does not stop it.

F1 Boss = from Bahrein not ?

McCheat = F1 Team sponsored by Bahrein not ?
