Malaysia GP (Indianapolis Motor Speedway) - March 30, 2014

There’s just nothing quite like watching Alonso pull a move on Kimi Raikkonen while running on a broken suspension
Forget about a six-tenths gap, he's out there pulling a full 1.6 second lead☕

You actually watching these qualifying sessions? 😵

Seriously, is everyone at Ferrari just incompetent? I mean, what’s their excuse for not even installing rearview mirrors on the car for the maestro 🙄
It’s funny how the maestro somehow intuitively knows that a little touch of Red Bull tech adds wings to the car...
Pure genius.🙏🙏🙏

P. S. Dorian should probably just rename this whole subforum to "Formula 1 powered by Lotus software"

darkmarlin16 said:What the hell are you talking about with Kvyat?

Honestly, same here.🙄
Marko BU should probably just stick to managing rookies.🤣

Instead of going after Alonso for a penalty, the kid just accepts an apology.

He even claims Alonso didn't see him and calls it just a racing incident caused by track conditions...
The guy's never going to make it in politics.🙂

Australia
Q1 -1.1
Q2 -1.6

Malaysia
Q1 -0.4
Q2 -0.2
Q3 -1.2

Looks like being six-tenths behind Mass wasn't much.
But against that Finnish fraud? That's practically a whole second.

Man, there's no way he's only 0.6 behind—he’s actually pulling a massive 1.6 seconds on them!☕

Alonso really proved his worth back at Abu Dhabi in 2010—and he’s kept doing it with all those titles at Ferrari. I wonder how long it actually took Kimi Raikkonen to grab his first win with Ferrari?

Hey everyone, sorry for crashing the party like this 🙂
Does anyone happen to have links for the race stream tomorrow? I’d really appreciate the help 😍
Also, what time does the race start here in the States?

Sorry again, and thanks a ton 🙂

About as long as it takes him to lap the field at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.😂

Absolute qualifying beast😂

I'm calling it—Ricciardo on the podium

Man, I didn't catch any of that. Care to explain your weird little haiku poem?

Edward Howard2 said:We're all stoked to see Kimi Raikkonen finding that extra pace... because if he's moving like that, it means the maestro can potentially shave another six-tenths off his lap times. 🙂

Looks like I totally underestimated the maestro... 🙄

I honestly thought there was no way he’d pull more than six-tenths, but then look at him—the maestro is out there absolutely flying in a broken car, putting over a full second between himself and Kimi Raikkonen. 😂
That’s not even just a slap on the wrist anymore... that is a straight-up, total humiliation.

I’m just crossing my fingers for a dry race, mostly because I'd love to finally see what the actual power ratio looks like without all the rain complicating things.

As for Kimi Raikkonen, I wouldn't expect him to really find his groove before summer hits; it took him nearly half a season back at Lotus to truly settle in, so we'll just have to wait and see how they actually perform once he's comfortable. I'm honestly just curious to see when he gets acclimated enough to reveal the car's true potential, though I suspect he might grab a tiny edge over Alonso in qualifying, while in the race,

There’s absolutely nothing surprising about the gap between the Ferrari drivers...
Nobody bothered to fix Kimi Raikkonen's red bucket, while the maestro actually got lucky because Daniil Kvyat stepped up and fixed his car😁

Toro Rosso is just messing with you but 😬

Looks like being six-tenths faster against Mass was the goal.

Toro Rosso is giving you the tools, but 😬

Kimi tried fixing it himself in Australia, but that didn't exactly work out...
At least now he knows the drill...
Find an STR on the track, smash into it brilliantly, and suddenly the car runs better than ever.👍

Right?

Valtteri Bottas just got slapped with a three-place grid penalty for messing with Daniel Ricciardo. He’s gonna be starting from 18th.

Two interesting tidbits here...
http://184.106.145.74/f1-championshi...t%20-%2036.pdf

The fuel flow of car numbers 01, 03, 44, 06, 14, 08, 13, 22, 20, 27, 11, 99, 21, 25, 26, 19, 77, 17,
04, 10 and 09 was checked.

The following software versions have been used by the teams during the qualifying sessions:
Team FIA Standard ECU system
version
Caterham SR626
Ferrari SR626
Force India SR626
Lotus SR626
Marussia SR626
McLaren SR626
Mercedes-Benz SR626
Red Bull SR626
Sauber SR626
Toro Rosso SR626
Williams SR626

1. Unlike last race, everyone is running the exact same ECU software this time round.
2. For some bizarre reason, they didn't check the fuel flow on car number 7—that's Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari. Looks like a faulty sensor.🤔
Could easily explain why there's such a massive gap in times compared to Alonso...

Alex Fowler5 said:Oh, really? Is that right?

Nah, but there's like a 78% chance it'll happen.

Good morning—any idea when the race starts?

granitefalcon15 said:Morning—any idea when the race actually starts?

In about 53 minutes. Honestly, it's all right there at the top of the thread if you bother to look.

Thanks 😁

In about 45 minutes. 😉
