i guess i still be more rational than Mel Gibson's character in Conspiracy Theory movie but this year FIA added another fuel pressure sensor into cars.. and that might tell some story about Ferrari's poor straight line performance as well as Alfa Romeo and HAAS..

I'm hoping their upgrades make the car worse. I'm hoping they suffer their worst result every. I'm hoping (although it will never happen) they learn that their old ways will not win a championship. And I hope this makes Vettel feel better about getting fired.

What we could see ?

The Ferrari Jet-Mode is gone !

For the moment I'm thinking Ferrari can't catch the lack of performance for the rest of the season .

Yup. I think they’re full of shit saying their car is flawed. It’s really that they aren’t cheating anymore.

Indeed my friends . Mercs still dominate !
The only thing to look forward to is : MAX is the only driver tomorrow on "Mediums"
3th QA place was not bad on mediums , while the rest was running on softs .
But even on softs MAX couldn't make it against the Mercs ..

Let us hope that his strategy will work in his favor during the race ..
I'm pretty sure he knew the Mercs were faster , so he had to run on mediums for tomorrow in the race !

Let's see ...Tomorrow It's actually : MAX "MEDIUMS vs Mercs DAS" on softs
The bad news is that DAS is also saving tyres .It keeps the front tyres cooler during the race !
Approved by the FIA !!!

boring f1

I have been a life long fan of f1,but now like many i find it dreadfully boring.I remember the days of v12 engines screaming around the track,now we have got v6 hybrids engines with no sound worth talking about.Days when we had real characters like James hunt ,mansell,ect real men,not cardboard cut outs like the drivers now,I dont think combined they could make one good personality.So it will be my pleasure to ignore the bore farce taking place in Austria.

Ferrari is running backwards. All Ferrari powered cars are significant slower than a year ago.

Binotto is saying lately now that they were barking up the wrong tree for a long time in terms of pace in quali and race so...what's new. Are they for real I wonder.

As my UKM5 and MBelgium friends say....Ferrari Jet-Mode has vanished and yes, it would be great to know what happened between the FIA and Scuderia Ferrari....

Hamilton grid penalty?

Hamilton under investigation for two counts after a yellow flag breach also a track limits breach at turn 10.

The F1 website seems to indicate he's under investigation only for failure to slow under yellow: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/a...dt7jXpk9v.html

Mark my words guys. Ferrari found the solution and they will win the constructors' and 1-2 WDC next year. All they had to do was fire Seb. The operation needed the technical Mastermind of Mattia Potter to do it. Ferrari's focus is on driver development not car development because the car is perfect and what was holding them back was that guy who only had 4 championships under his belt.

Verstappen will wipe the asphalt with Leclerc's ass.
