that's true but even without the penalty i don't think he would have done any better than 10th...bhallg2k wrote:Massa's not doing himself any favors, but he got hosed today with that penalty.amouzouris wrote:Alonso is now realistically in the title hunt!! i'm not sure ferrari is though..as much as i like Massa and it pains me to say it...if he keeps this form up...the WCC is already dead this year for ferrari
Like I said "Let the race do the talking", congratulations to Fernando and Ferrari. But did you expect Williams to be ahead of Ferrari? I don't think so.ecapox wrote:So now that the race is over, what say you?zyphro wrote:Sorry but, out-performed who? Quali is meaningless: RB and Merc hardly chose to run.Crucial_Xtreme wrote:
It's clear the updates on the car are working. Leave it to other teams fans to want to spend time in the F2012 thread now that we out-performed their teams car thus far.
Let the race do the talking.

Typical of people like yourself. You act as though Williams only beat Ferrari today. Did you expect Williams to completely dominate Mercedes? I mean Rosberg was 77+ seconds behind Maldonado. That's a lot worse than Fernando's 3+ seconds. Again, rival fans trying to diminish what Ferrari accomplished by acting as though we were the only ones Williams was ahead of.zyphro wrote: But did you expect Williams to be ahead of Ferrari?

Agreed. It's like Formula Random not Formula One. Crazy season with no clear leading car or leading team. Works out better for us and gives us even more time to sort the car.Pierce89 wrote:Great quote from Alonso: "We were 57 seconds behind Vettel in Bahrain, and we were lapping Webber here.

Why don't you stop trying to jump to conclusions? I just congratulated Ferrari, or are you blind, or is that how you want to read it?Crucial_Xtreme wrote:Typical of people like yourself.

I don´t think anyone expected him to fall back, we knew the car and him was stupid quick here.zyphro wrote:Alonso was ahead of Maldonaldo (for half the race), did you expect him to end up back infront and hold his own to win the race? No you did not. You just like everyone else predicted him to fall behind straight away, don't bother denying that.
He can literrally sit on a donkey and make it run faster than an F1 car, atleast faster than Massa's F2012. Even the donkey would be surprised how it ran so fast.donskar wrote:The team knows that Alonso can win if the car is anywhere close to competitive. We are watching a master at the height of his powers.
Massa had a drive-through, that certainly doesnt help..prince wrote:He can literrally sit on a donkey and make it run faster than an F1 car, atleast faster than Massa's F2012.

On a serious note, how on earth did he lapped Massa?

Problem is, when its "sorted" maybe it wont be so agreeable with the Pirelli tyre....Crucial_Xtreme wrote:Agreed. It's like Formula Random not Formula One.
