That extra oil burning paying off nicely.

This Ferrari engine could burn the higher amount.

 

[jey_16]

did people expect Ferrari to challenge Mercedes for the whole season? after the last few years, the fact that they are even winning races is great

the engine defecit is just way too much, Hamilton is going to cruise to the championship especially with reliability looking fine for the Mercs

[Psychotext]

Wow, Vettel sounded really flat over team radio, with mechanical problems? Doesn't explain why Kimi was also off the pace too.

Sounded like PR to me. Can't say that the Ferrari was shit at Monza.

 

[Terbinator]

What did that tweet say about Vettel in the green room? Get gud?

 

[nny]

Amazing crowd.

Here we go again, the usual "last race is what will happen for the rest of the season" nonsense. I don't understand, you people like to come off as simple minded and naive?

 

[RoKKeR]

Monza always worth it for the podium.

 

[nekkid]

Tifosi with zero class, as always.

 

[Par Score]

Wonderful scenes in Monza.

I'm sure the Tifosi will enjoy their 3rd place.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I don't think I'd miss Monza either.

At least Singapore is next.

 

[Tempy]

Almost dropped that trophy, Lewis.

 

[Grug]

Will the Game of Thrones boys be doing the interviews?

Edit: oh, just Ser Brundle.

 

[CrayToes]

Stay salty Tifosi.

 

[sems4arsenal]

I miss Rosberg.

 

[Terbinator]

These Heineken trophies are dross.

 

[Psychotext]

Crappy bog standard Heineken trophy.

 

[John_B]

Verstappen being a bit too aggressive this weekend and Ricciardo just putting in the work.

That extra oil burning paying off nicely.

But Ferrari didn't change the engine this weekend?

 

[nekkid]

Holy shit, what a throw!

 

[Business]

Wondered why it wasn't mentioned but on the same lap that Danny overtook Kimi, Vettel was 3 seconds slower than normal.

I figured he'd gone off, but they never showed a replay.

I saw that and irrc it was a low 27 when he was doing 25's. Maybe just backmarkers.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Shaneus]

Stay salty Tifosi.

We need to see this sort of thing at Monza:

lol Lewis in troll mode.

 

[nature boy]

Lol DAT boos

 

[nekkid]

Stay salty Tifosi.

Haha, Lewis stoking that fire. Good on him!

Big Boss Sergio won't be happy today

"Mercedes power definitely better than Ferrari power"

Lewis getting a bit pissed with the booing, heh.

how is it simple minded and naive? first back to back wins for Hamilton shows a growing trend of Mercedes dominance, look at the rest of the tracks for the rest of the year and apart from Singapore, can't really see any that suit Ferrari

not to mention Ferrari's poor track record of in-season development

 

[nekkid]

Nah he's just giving as good as he's getting.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

This stuff is just awesome!

 

[jey_16]

Tifosi with zero class, as always.

like the Brits booing Vettel right....

 

[DrM]

I think that RIC can win in Singapore, RBR made a great move with new PU and taking grid penalties and they are developing car with rapid pace

 

[RoKKeR]

lol Lewis

 

[Psychotext]

As far as I'm aware Ferrari never had the oil burning working as well as Mercedes anyway (Scarbs / Peter WIndsor), hence the comment.

 

[nekkid]

like the Brits booing Vettel right....

When?

 

[navanman]

gif of the podium ladies plz..

 

[Addnan]

When?

Every single Silverstone lol.

Spoiler

But Vettel is a cunt, so it's ok.

They used separate oil tank for burning, but they had to remove it before Baku race.
Also, in 2018, oil burn will be further reduced

Having attended every British GP for the last 7 years, even through Vettel's winning streak, this didn't happen.

He definitely got booed when the car broke down on the start/finish straight

 

[nekkid]

Nope. There were cheers.

Anyway, that's different. Mid-race cheers of one driver's failure to celebrate the benefit to the home favourite is not in the same league as booing someone on the podium because they've done a better job.

That doesn't happen at Silverstone.

 

[theignoramus]

Singapore should be Ferrari's but Im not buying into the idea that Malaysia,Mexico, and Japan will somehow favor their car. Spain favored their car and they lost there. Russia favored their car and they lost there too.

 

[Addnan]

or maybe it was Monza. Vettel was getting booed everywhere in Red Bull.

Was that the 2013 race when Hamilton's tyre blew up?

 

[nekkid]

Only after being a cunt to Webber.

Yes. Hence the classic Saving Private Ryan gif.

Rosberg was the one that got booed.

Ehhh?

Spain had long straights and fast corners.

Russia has lots of long straights and fast corners.

Long straights and fast corners are merc strengths.

 

[nekkid]

Rosberg was the one that got booed.

Not that I'm aware of. And I've been down by the podium for the last 3 years. I thought he might have been last year, but nope.

 

[Psychotext]

Only after being a cunt to Webber.

From what I recall, at least at the actual races, the boos were mostly about the endless winning. Hamilton had that too the year before last.

Ferrari's top men have been saying the rest of the season has tracks that play to their strengths.
