Interesting...
Last year, Alonso was sitting on a 9-point lead. This year? He’s trailing Vettel by 9. Funny how that works.😁

Funny how that works. Last year Ferrari was a total joke, but this year? They’re an absolute beast. 😵🤔😍

Fernando Alonso:
Last year—averaging 5th place over three finished races.
This year—averaging 1.5th place over two finished races.
That’s a 233% improvement..

Felipe Massa:
Last year—averaging 14th place over two finished races.
This year—averaging 5th place over three finished races.
A 180% improvement..

Comparing the F138 to the F2012:.
A 206.5% jump..

Given that he actually holds more points than he did last season, and considering Vettel has completed every single race... we haven't seen that ridiculous comedy at the GP Malaysia where someone's finger gesture sends everyone's cars spinning wherever they please.☕

If you ask me, you might want to look into getting an energy drink recommendation; you occasionally seem to cross the line of objectivity entirely.☕

Nice stats, man.😁
Maybe Alonso and Massa can just crush Red Bull.


And for that Red Bull fan here, JUST FACE IT, RED BULL IS WEAKER THAN FERRARI .

Just wait until this tire nonsense settles down—once Pirelli starts bringing nothing but the hardest compounds for the last seven races, Red Bull is going to absolutely eat us alive.

I have to agree! Anything short of a double championship would be a massive disappointment. 👍

Alright, someone please drop the link to today's conference here already.

I see you're new here. 🙂
I already told your buddies the same thing four years ago, so I guess I'll just say it again for you.🙂
Ferrari isn't going to touch Vettel this decade—and that means they aren't catching Red Bull as long as he's behind the wheel, either. Not even once.☕

The sooner you accept it, the easier it'll be.🙂

Everything eventually reaches its end, including the dominance held by Vettel and Red Bull. ☕
If a legend like Schumacher saw his era come to a close, then Red Bull will inevitably follow; even Bernie himself suggested that Alonso and Ferrari are set to claim the titles for the 2013 calendar year—and where there is smoke, there is fire. ☕

You are being quite bold with those predictions of yours... perhaps even the billionaire funding this entire artificial operation will stop injecting capital, causing everything to burst like a water balloon.

Once again, Ferrari is being fooled; Massa and Alonso taking P1 and P2 in FP1.
☕

Massa fooling us again, I'll make a note of it in my journal.

Holy crap... Bottas actually beat Hamilton 🙂🤣

If you're keeping track, the only thing that matters is that Massa finished ahead of his "star" teammate, who's honestly just riding his coattails😁
And yeah, Vettel stayed right where he belongs—firmly ahead of Webber☕

It is remarkably easy to position oneself as a critic of Mr. Marko when the very people tasked with supporting him are constantly undermining his every move.

How is it even possible for Alonso to be underperforming relative to Massa when he sits ahead of him in the championship standings? The Ferrari is a remarkably consistent machine, and their lap times remain incredibly tight; we aren't seeing those massive, frustrating gaps of +0.300 seconds that you'd see over at a team like Mercedes. ☕

Great. So the team rules don't even apply during the FP's. Typical. 😂
I’m going to file a formal complaint against Ferrari.
This is exactly how they tank the first driver's confidence and focus. It’s dangerous stuff, too—it can mess everything up for qualifying, the race, and everything else down the line.

Well, will this be my first FP of the season? 😍

Just wanted to drop a quick 🤦 McLaren

McLaren Over and out

„Kimi He enjoyed a truly remarkable start to the season, wouldn't you agree? I find myself thinking that... Drive. Perhaps. The absolute best of the lot."That was Alonso's take on it," he remarked.

🙏 🙏 🙏

I might just add this to my signature.

Hmm, the Lotus looks incredible. They might actually have the best tire durability on the grid right now.
Red Bull and Ferrari seem to be neck and neck... but based on today's Practice 2, the edge goes to Lotus. It looks like they could potentially pull off a two-stop strategy.
It’s going to be a fast Final Race. I expect McQueen to be right in the thick of it, battling for position against both the field and Grosjean.

So, Vettel told Sky that they’ve got the pace, but then he adds that everything really boils down to how those tires hold up during the race (Captain Obvious).

We’re going for the win!
We want that victory!
