Malaysia Grand Prix (Indianapolis Motor Speedway) March 29, 2015

Brian Campbell36 said:Red Bull leads with a gap, following a masterclass performance by Sebastian Vettel 🙏

Now Alonso can go back to claiming that Ferrari is lagging by thirty seconds, just like what we saw in Australia 🍿

I am anticipating significant upgrades to Ferrari's aero package before we head to Europe, specifically to ensure their chassis can actually compete with Mercedes-Benz

Regarding this whole tire situation—who exactly is blaming Mercedes when the high degradation levels are precisely why everyone else ran out of rubber? Once again, the haters are trying to diminish the magnificent victory of Sebastian Vettel, much like those fanatics over at Sport Club Mexico who clearly harbor nothing but animosity toward Ferrari

Honestly, one of those two journalists is a die-hard Ferrari fan, and even the other guy doesn't seem to mind at all, believe me. 😉

William Bennett53 said:Last year, Ferrari had the best driver in the world, yet they were stuck fighting for 5th or 6th place. This year, with a driver many consider a fraud, they are actually threatening Mercedes-Benz for the lead. In my view, they are the winners regardless of how this concludes. 🙏

Man, last year's car was even more of a total disaster than this one, but hey, obviously those blind idiots can't see that.

rustyorca13 said:It’s actually pretty interesting how there isn't any booing for Sebastian Vettel this year. But then again, those people weren't exactly "Ferrari fans" back in the day...

You clearly aren't listening closely enough.

Patrick Bailey4 said:Honestly, 🤣🤣🤣

I don't think we've ever seen a tactical meltdown quite this bad... maybe never. 🤦

Now I'm just waiting for all the myth-making to start about how dominant Ferrari is and how incredible Vettel looked. 🙏 🙏

Oh, absolutely. The narrative about the dominant machine coming out of Maranello will start any second now.

It’s honestly wild how they left Hamilton hanging twice in such a short window, stuck on tires that were clearly two seconds slower than what he needed. 🤣

"this is the wrong tire man" 🤣

Perhaps after the race concludes, they could host a poll to determine who truly walked away as the biggest loser of the weekend. 😳

Why does a victory for Ferrari catch them off guard? For instance, when Red Bull beat Mercedes last year right in the middle of their internal rivalry, they acted like it was perfectly normal. Yet here we are, where 90% of the coverage focuses on Ferrari, and it’s almost exclusively negative commentary.🤦

From now on, I'll just stick to watching the Americans and how they constantly lecture the Germans (Hamilton).

It might not be totally dominant just yet, but you have to look at what Kimi managed to pull off—he actually finished ahead of his "rivals" over at Williams👍

Honestly, I don't see what else they could have possibly done over at Mercedes. In these specific conditions—I mean, look at the track—they’d be absolutely shredding their tires. They wouldn't get away with the strategy the guys in red are running right now, not even close.

Ros is a full second faster than Lewis.

Max basically just steamrolled his teammate Carlos directly on the track 🙏

Man, if you were actually watching, everyone was betting on Sebastian Vettel to take the win at the start of the race!

Lewis Hamilton is clearly losing his cool. When the crew starts barking instructions at him about how to hunt down Sebastian Vettel, he isn't having any of it—giving them this sharp, agitated reply: "Hey man, don't talk to me through the corners. I almost went off." Honestly, you can't beat that kind of raw team radio drama.

Obviously right behind him 😍
F... 🙂😱 F.... 🙂😱
😬🤣

Damn, I missed it by two and a half seconds. 😢🤣

So, what's the deal with the driver swaps on this team? 😍

crimsonbadger24 said:Does anyone actually get what those guys over at Mercedes were even thinking when they pulled that move?
I mean, seriously, was there really nobody on the pit wall who could’ve just done a quick headcount of the tires before they committed to such a ridiculous strategy?😁

It looks like Mercedes is definitely struggling with their tire wear (just like they did two seasons ago); they're burning through them way too fast, so they figured the harder compounds would suit them better.

On the flip side, Ferrari doesn't seem to have those issues at all—plus, the car has some serious pace to throw around. Throw in a flawless pit stop (finally!), and you end up with a fired-up Sebastian Vettel, for whom this win is going to feel like...

Honestly, Toto held his own there—he was actually composed enough to hint that the Ferrari guys might have had a real shot if they’d been running longer stints during practice sessions.

But if you ask me, he’s just talking trash because he was genuinely intimidated by them.😍😁😁>

all while running tires that were somehow 14 laps fresher than everyone else

Look, it's Mercedes, so there's really no need for a poll, we already know.

By the way, Ferrari actually gapped Red Bull Racing by an entire lap 😲👍

plus an extra pit stop just for kicks 👏
