That thing is so squirrely I'm surprised it doesn't run off the track looking for nuts

Like, why is it so bad? Kimi seems to be really struggling with it also. I really wish we could see them at their full potential, they're such a good team.

Because Ferrari can't into turbo!

They spent so much time on the turbo charged engine that they didn't spend enough time on the chassis and aero

Bad times for them

Wait I just checked and they did win some constructors championships in the 80s when engines were turbo charged.

So they can into turbo.

And I'm stumped. I dunno what their problem is...

They can only into turbo when the turbo is for power purposes only, not for efficiency and regulations and such.

My God you're right!!!

So the real answer is Ferrari can't into efficiency!

Efficiency is Porsche's thing because they do endurance races.

Ferrari has always been about F1, which never used to be about efficiency.

Didn't see this race any race since Monaco and I have no idea what is happening. Is he actually trying to regain full grip like that?

Looking at this makes me rethink Kimi's recent crash. Would he have held it if he was in a Lotus?

Probably. The car just seems so unstable.

Alonso is mighty. The ferrari is trash and he manages to fight with better teams

Speaking of Ferrari I'm at the old man's house.

You can see how much he likes black. The damn Jay Z song got stuck in his head years ago.

Watch it again, folks... Stayed in it through that whole struggle.

It's amazing he's in fourth place in the championship.

Look what I just saw

Also saw a 458 coupe, the hard core version of the Maser GT, and a second gen Gallardo Spyder.

No SR20 because the only one I could safely take a pic of was the Lambo but no Manuel so not that exciting.

Nicely spotted.

When in doubt, throttle out.

I'm wondering if it is related to the smaller rear wings, along with the loss of the defusers, and exhaust guided over the wings -in short there's a lot less rear grip in this year's cars. Some drivers can apparently handle that loose rear end better than others. Remember that Vettel, who -like him or not- is no slouch can't handle his car as well as his team mate either.

That said, I am in awe of Alonso's gutty driving and I just wish these cars would work for Kimi. I was really excited about his teaming up with Alonso.
