Ferrari not cheating their fans by throwing in the towel. This is F1 racing fellas, with the good teams doing their best all season. :champion:

Fernando Alonso is 60 points behind Sebastian Vettel in the drivers' standings, while Red Bull can also boast a 103-point advantage over Ferrari in the constructors'. However, Fry told the official Ferrari website that the team has more updates still to come to the car with only minimal running being applicable to 2014.

"We've still got some developments coming through for the next few races and we will be running and testing them to continue to try and improve the car," Fry said. "For 2014, because of the much larger changes to the cars on the engine side and also the aero aspect, it's naturally much harder to test components now, but there will be some small development bits we can run during this year's remaining free practice, looking more on the reliability front than anything else, which means we have busy Fridays planned for the next six races."

Switch off the F138s life-support, I can't bear to see it suffer anymore!

What has well and truly stuffed us is the disgraceful actions of Paul Hembrey. Pirelli changing their tyres because other teams couldn't use them was never Ferrari's problem.

Another crap Domenicali decision.

If he had a back-bone, he would have done a Todt, Indy 05 style.

Instead we got rolled-over nicey-nice.

And no title.

Shite-hawks, as my Northern Grandad used to say.

But we've still got Felipe-Baby, ready to smash the field just like he said he would, Gangnam Style!

Yes, Newey won't know what's hit him when Felipe is unleashed.

I predict that he will be on pole by at least 42 seconds, now that he has broken the evil Alonso's spell.

I just had to quote this picture again. It is just so awesome in every aspect.

Classical F1 cars, dark-red Ferraris with all those traditional front and rear wing shapes. Chequered flag.
The angle of the picture is excellent. Cheering Crowds with flags in the background. Big "Agip" signs, which was a big and traditional Ferrari partner and sponsor. Forest in the background with classic Monza oval banking.

They're only 7 points ahead of Mercedes in the constructors battle, so it makes sense to keep on fighting to stay ahead.

An F1 battle that is enough to keep me interested (amoung other things) in the rest of the races.

But Ferrari's Fernando Alonso admitted Red Bull, whose engine he said has been emitting the odd tones in corners all season long, is doing nothing wrong.

"They are using something different compared to the other teams but something that is completely ok," he is quoted by the BBC.

Good old Lewis, you need a bit of stirring at this point in the season lol.

Those who question our decision are probably afraid of our line-up. The combination will work because both are so different. Kimi knows the team, is fast, makes no mistakes and doesn't get involved in politics.

"The priority for us is to make sure that we have a good car. So I put the pressure on the engineers to make sure it happens. If it's fast, I expect no problems."

Except that the tyres were changed because of the tyre blow-ups at Bahrain and Silverstone. Without Silverstone they wouldn't have been changed, because all teams must agree and Force India rejected any tyre change. After Silverstone they did a U-turn and agreed to bring back the 2012 construction.
