Schumi:

"Our engine temperatures were very high before the start, and when the yellow lights came on, I switched the engine off. After I had started from the pit lane, I picked up a penalty and then a puncture.

"So all in all, the beginning of the race was not very pleasant for us. Everything you do not need came together."

They really need to improve the car in this 1month break.

Mushkil hi lag raha hai

Haan aik month me nhn ho sakta. Next year maybe

BTW strange to see someone has got a hold on the championship seeing how unpredictable this season has gone by. Ferrari has the best overall package, the others are so-so depending upon conditions and their car's strongest elements.

Lewis dominated the whole weekend though, great to see.

Belgium will be dominated by alonso....in italy it could be alonso or kimi because monza has loads of straight runs ...as we know ferrari and lotus have great drag speeds

Ferrari is not at all a good car, others are faster than em. Its just Alonso who is making the difference and showing his class as a great driver, he's the best driver on the grid atm IMO.

I agree to some extent that its not the car but the driver....butttt you have to admit that there have been some major imporvements in the car which allow alonso to show his true skills ... For example the front and rear wings were redigned slightly to reduce downforce and now the car can perform better...did you know that redbull couldve been fined cuz they were breaching some rules through their engine maps but they were spared by the FIA

Yes they have improved the car immensely cause the car was just rubbish at the start of the season and the team themselves have improved a lot since last 2 years i.e. race strategies/pitstop calls e.t.c.

I know about the engine mappings issue yup.. and there is also another thing going on that Redbull apparently changed ride height in Canadian GP after qualifying which they are not allowed to do but FIA kept mum over it. Khair these are just rumours but I won't be surprised if they actually did do it.

It would be awesome to see kimi and alonso on the same team...it would be deadly for sure massa isnt ferrari material anymore...not after the accident atleast

Someone shoot Helmut Marko please...

"If they see us doing something, they either copy it or try to have it outlawed. Quite clearly we take advantage of the regulations as much as we can. There is jealousy and envy in the paddock

We have never adjusted anything by hand. I don't know why the others are upset - we know Ferrari has used something like that for a year,

Sir according to me its a simple case of insecurity

 

[StrikerX]

RBR is the only team in the paddock who come out with idiotic remarks especially Helmut Marko and Christian Horner.

 

[sTraNg3r]

Sour grapes by RBR I guess. There's a sense in the paddock that RBR are constantly stretching the rules and regulations as far as their car is concerned.

But you can't blame teams for trying to innovate though.

 

[Ashhad]

Well they arnt trying to innovate ...they are just trying to complicate things....I wont be shocked if FIA effs all their constructors points

 

[StrikerX]

They should have been stripped of their constructor points because of the engine mappings issue but since that was in the gray area the FIA couldn't do shit.

Oh and good news, Ferrari have a lot of upgrades incoming for Spa and the next races.

Ahhh yes upgrades....I hope alonso wins this year's Driver's Championship

 

[sTraNg3r]

Well he's been the best driver this season, pushing the car more than its limits. Wouldn't be surprised if he wins the championship by a healthy margin.
