So, let us be a little patient and only time will tell the reality of things. You guys know better than that.......

It was Stefano Domenicali who said what I wrote...

You sure about the last one? Rallycross might have "helped" the engine trouble.

Free translation:

- Olemme jatkuvasti kärsineet tästä ongelmasta. Meidän täytyy keksiä, kuinka pystymme parantamaan aika-ajoamme, Domenicali linjasi.

"We have constantly suffer from this problem. We have to figure out how to improve our qualifying", said Domenicali.

Australian GP:n aika-ajossa paremmin sijoittunut Ferrari-kuski Felipe Massa ajoi vasta neljänteen ruutuun. Ferrarin kisavauhti oli paremmin kohdallaan.

"In qualifying Massa was only fourth. Ferraris racepace was much better, however."

- Aika-ajo on ratkaisevan tärkeä, koska takaa aloittaessa menettää niin paljon. Näimme kuinka Kimi Räikkönen oli kisassa monta kierrosta Rubens Barrichellon perässä, mutta teki vapaalle radalle päästessään suorituskyvyn ja tasaisuuden suhteen täydellisiä aikoja, Domenicali totesi.

"Qualifying is most important, because when starting from behind you lose so much time. We saw that in the race Kimi was driving behind Barrichello many laps, but when got past him, he drove perfectly consistant and fast laps that showed our true speed."

Thanks Shalafi :up:
