Where will Ferrari finish in Australia?

7th and 11th. It's obvious who is ahead.

 

third & fifth

 

1st and 2nd.

 

At least 1 car up to 5th, I could care less which driver. Beyond that off the podium no matter.

 

Big assumption that they'll finish!

 

Interesting point. Reliability will be tested for sure!

 

I'm with pap. 1st 2nd Forza!!!!!!!!

 

4 and 8th

 

I'm not confident both cars will make Q3.

What are the tire rules for quali / race this year? Are race sets used up during quali as last year?

I'll go 7th / 11th at the finish.

 

I actually think some will be surprised a bit. They won't be winners, but I'm predicting 4th and 6th. I think they'll slide and go down hill as the season goes on though.

2nd and 3rd

 

The first race will be like testing so I'll save my opinion for the 2nd race, safer like that.

 

yup. And I will be amazed if Massa makes it out of Q2.

 

The podium

1st. Michael Schumacher.
2nd. Fellipe Massa.
3rd. Fernando Alonso.

 

While I don't think the above will be the case (would be neat if it were!), I have no problem saying Red Bull will not win or look as handy as they have been the past two years at any track let alone Australia.

 

That would be AWESOME !

 

Hopefully one of the F cars will get a podium finish. I look forward to seeing how the development went this winter and look forward to a closer season than last year.

 

Do I get something if I nail it?

1st: Vettel.
2nd: Button.
3rd: Hamilton.
4th: one of our guys, by fluke.

Webber and the Mercedes: DNF. They always run fast but mess things up somehow.

But hey, a few years ago Eddie Irvine won there: anything can happen in Melbourne.

Ferrari does not think they will podium the first few races, so why should anyone else? They will be lucky to have one car in the top 5.

 

I watched an interview with Fry yesterday evening. I will dig up the link to it, but the interview was done after all testing completed. When pushed regarding if the new Ferrari has a fundamental flaw or if it is a quick fix he politely answered (after a pause) it was too soon to tell. Fry also implied they have been working for the past two weeks on other exhaust solutions. I'm guessing by the second or third race we will see those heavily updated sidepods.

Until then, my best guess for Australia is:

Hamilton
Vettel
Schumacher
Rosberg
Button
Webber
Raikkonen
Grosjean
Alonso
Kobayashi
Hulkenberg
Diresta
Massa
Senna

 

All I know is that is has been a long and lonely off season but thank God for I had tapes of past races!

 

Only if you join the fantasy league!

And then only bragging rights

There's your fantasy entry right there!

OK, you can't afford all the top guys/cars/motors but you get my point!

I will now officially STFU before I get banned for trolling.
