    Utterly beyond me.

    The Inters decision is the last thing you need. The whole reason everyone is rearing to go in such a situation is to be sure to get a lap time in with the track as dry as possible. Inters don't magically work the moment the first few drops hit the track...

    This whole strategy as Ferrari called it was "a lottery". Ferrari didn't buy tickets though. They where playing Connect 4 and screaming ''YAHTZEE" when it was their turn.

    The smaller TC helps with accleration which Ferrari were like gods in the first half of the season, a deliberate decision. The technical directive effed up even that by unsettling the balance of the car.

    To your second point, I probably could do better job than some of the current stuff (a certain Spaniard in top job comes to mind)

    Since the turbos essentially have electronic antilag, the reason why Ferrari is faster out of the slow corners has far more to do with chassis than the tiny turbo.

    The small turbo is chosen for packaging reasons and hasn't worked for any team that's used it.

    That is painful to watch. Binotto will blame it on the chassis department.

    It could be heavier fuel loads for Sunday race pace

    Ducati won before Rossi, and after Rossi. Strange, no?
    Another case of an established rider who can't adapt to his new mount? Same with Zarco at KTM?
    Have you noticed that Valentino Rossi chose Ducati for his VR46 MotoGP team, in spite of a lucrative offer from Yamaha?

    4 seconds is about the different between {all out low fuel balls to the wall pace} in qualifying compared to "make the tires last" racing these days.

    When are they implementing that rule? It is the fourth time this year maybe, that someone crashes, causes a red flag, spoils the rest of quali for the others
    and benefits after the fact. In this case Russell even won the Sprint Race! The rule should at least punish such events to the bottom of the Q section
    timesheet, at the very least.
