Remember the statement before LAUNCH. It was as in Ferrari had won the Title. It was just thought to be a matter of time. Anyways Ferrari being Ferrai can still win but Alonso saying all this has just PR stunts in Damage control mode after all the Bad Publicity.
Even if Ferrai go 2 Full Seconds quicker they will end with 1.21.6 which will be atleast 1-1.5 off pole in a much rubbered in track what would be in the race. Ferrari needs to STEP UP. This is the Most Successful Team in F1 history.
I'm sorry but this guy is smoking something. If you do the math, his last sentence says Ferrari are 3-3.5 seconds a lap down.
Sorry to be rude, but, come on, we need people to use a little sense around here.
Ferrari 3,5 seconds a lap off the pace is not using sense when they've set the same headline times as RBR and Macca.
Ferrari claim to have made a breakthrough Friday afternoon in understanding the car. I stand by my claim this car will be AT WORST 3rd fastest in Melbourne, more likely fighting for the podium.
I aggree 100 % with you. I don't understand why there's so much pessimism about this team and the F2012.
What are your negative comments based on??? NOTHING
So far, we've just had TESTING, no race conditions, no quali simulation. So stop beoing so pessimistic, it's non sense.
Why do you try to downplay FEERAI's form? Did you miss the fact that the team entirely changed the concept of it's car?? It's kinda normal that we're a bit late compared to others, but nothing prohibitive.
This team needs time and CONFIDENCE, and we, the fans, have the duty to provide them the latter.
