    Shows what I know lol!

    With Binotto’s statement, it actually does draw the question of why wait until after Baku, where a trick wing will provide a known advantage? I don’t think anyone wants to see contested results

    Good job by Ferrari and its 2 drivers. I am pleased to see that !

    That should give the tifosi something to cheer about.

    They have to repeat that Saturday afternoon, and they will almost be there.

    But Horner feels he is singled out LOL :) Again Max was vocal about Ferrari cheating not long ago. Better to simply say we will be ready for the new tests as Ferrari have stated. They admit flex does Ferrari and will move forward. Mature response from Ferrari vs whining from RedBull.

    What is funny is to presume that Merc, with all the money they spend and superior car over the last 7yrs, does not exploit this same rule to the maximum extent possible.

    This whining about wings is going to seem like child's play compared to what is to come in 2022 if Ferrari jumps to the top with Binotto's new super engine. Toto is going to absolutely lose his marbles if anyone tops Merc in the new regs, especially his mortal enemy Binoccio. Then again, I guess he can just sue everyone if need be, that's what rich *sshol*s do when things don't go their way.

    If is the key word here.

    It will probably take more than "Binotto's new super engine" for Ferrari to win regularly. ;)

    There are other areas where Ferrari is not top.

    Yup. Let's see what Ferrari can actually produce before we count the chicken. Has been a while since Ferrari produced a "super engine". V-12 boxer was probably it before the ground effect cars killed its benefits.

    They have been set up to win. With all available tools they need. It is a winning machine and is admirable. Id like more competition, yes, but they are doing it right.

    As some idiot once said; "it's only cheating if you get caught".

    Everyone seeks an advantage in a non-spec series...

    If you're not occasionally accused of cheating, you're not trying hard enough.

    I think the Scuderia has a legitimate chance here. I don't believe there is any sandbagging.

    They won't be .30 secs behind, that we can pretty much assume.

    It amazes me how Hamilton just disappears in to the sunset.

    I think Leclerc will be on the podium this weekend. His driving is spot on.

    I know you despise red bull with every fiber of your being but Marko has already said, nearly a week ago, that they're ready for the new flexi wing tests.
