http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/weekend/ITXX0049?from=36hr_topnav_business Rain, thunder and 60% chance of rain all weekend. Ferrari better have a solution to this years pathetic wet weather performance. Its gonna be ugly for them if they dont.
It posts times of 20 seconds less than the world record at Monza, doesn't need to refuel and can go the entire distance on one set of tires! It's a weapon that makes Ron and Lewis shutter in their boots... : - ) Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Actually they dont need secret weapons. The car Mclaren has is bullet proof reliable compared to anyone else and in the rain has good grip. Just a couple more wet races and its over for Ferrari. They need all the help they can get in the rain. This will probably be wet in Italy and in Singapore as well. 50% or more for rain in Japan or China as well. Weather problems favor Mclaren and the next few races offer the most variable weather. I think if Ferrari want any kind of title they have to get their car to drive well in the rain. Im not holding my breath.
The weather in Northern Italy is usually not predictable untill 1 or 2 days before. Its the mountains that change things day to day with the weather. If it says it will rain on Friday then I may believe it. As of now its just a chance of thunderstorms.
Raining one moment and sun the next. The old joke here is if it's raining, just wait 5 minutes... This years car is not as good as the McLaren in the rain, but this is only one year. Ferrari look long term.. It's about being the champ the most over a period of years as well as being the champ this year. We all know that Ferrari has more victories in motorsports than any other company on the planet and they don't only do it in F1, they do it in FIA/GT, all over the place and they do it with very little when compared to the likes of BMW, GM, Mercedes, all of the giants....
Sorry mate it rained in Spa, looked what happened it's a joke!! and there's no one more sorry than me, believe me. The way I see it now , is after all the hate mail and the flak the FIA will get, they will try tweak it back a little, so to me from now the damage is done, completely ruined the season just gone to far this time. I just hope Bernie, or someone somewhere realize's that viewers will turn off, because I know alot of folk I have spoken to are not going to watch it as off now, how long it will last anybodys guess ..I give up caring I'm just venting off for a bit...
Kraftwerk, you are not the only one who has the problem.. That's why bernie is trying to distance himself from the FIA and go out on his own, that's why Luca M has started his own group of owners in hopes to get away from the FIA. But you need to see it for what it is... It's like the EU or the Federal Government of the U.S.. It's one size fits all and total control but those who have no idea what they are doing.
Understand but I also understand what Ferrari can and cannot do in the rain. They are in big trouble in the wet. Vent away. Mclaren is no doubt the most reliable car wet or day. Im not stupid enough or blind enough to not see that. The forecast is dreary all weekend and even in damp conditions the red cars are a handful. Im over the event. I saw it and its on to the next race. I dont really care that much if a Ferrari wins or not. Its fun and some of the best times Ive had at races were in the paddock with my friends from Renault Its just good fun for a fan like me
