I would be not surprised if they drive a setting for sunday.
Massa 5th. Oh boy. Nelson Piquet v.2.0?

Massa is better than Alonso, confirmed. Give Fernando the boot and replace him with Maldonado.
Webber looked pretty surprised that he beat Vettel.

Yup. They should both be set up for slightly safer settings for the race.
Vettel doesn't need to win, he just needs safe, all weekend.

Checking the results I'm suprised Vettel was only 4th.
Wasn't expectnig Alonso to get any higher than 7th or 6th, so an 8th isn't much a suprise. Massa in 5th was a suprise, although he's usually very good here, hopefully we get a thunderstorm tomorrow.

It's not Ferrari for sure. Coz 'for-sure' is ahead of the same FI
Alonso made a mistake in his run..
I'm really happy Massa is ahead so we don't hear this "I extracted 120% of the car" shit we're used to hear Alonso say
Oh, hello.
McLaren front-row lockout is great to see, gotta wait until tomorrow to see how well that'll translate.

Hrmmm? He has been faster in some races also, he has been told in races to hold position behind Alonso despite him clearly being faster.
The guy can drive, he only missed a WDC by a single point in 2008. Since he copped a knock to the head in Spa in 09 it looked like it massively hampered his confidence but as this season draws to a near he seems to be coming good again. If he keeps this up next year Alonso might not just get the automatic gifting of position.
I do like Massa, i would like to see him really get right back into it.

I doubt it. They only allowed him to get back to speed because they needed him to help Alonso
Come next year you'll see Massa even worst than this year, especailly that this time it's almost certain that it's his last year with them

Great job by The Hulk :bow
He should be in the McLaren next season not that cunt Perez. Fuck off McLaren.

Maybe...
Although I doubt they would put Alonso on a different setup than Massa, but hey it's Ferrari so probably they did.

BBC just cut to Eddie and Jake in the middle of the Vettel interview.
He really does talk too much.

lol "he has a great supporting teammate in Mark Webber"
Does he think he's talking about Massa or something?

So for Alonso to win the championship, he needs a podium while Vettel needs to either DNF or finish lower than 10th?
He's a good driver sure, but I would expect someone like Alonso to step up and match his team mate at the minimum in such an important race.
Maybe he has a wet set up?

Kimi doesn't want it.
In fairness, Massa has won here twice, it's worth remembering.
Though I suspect they've gone with a race setup for Alonso (and probably the opposite for Massa to try and get him ahead of Vettel).

Or wet his pants.
Kimi needs to finish 5th tomorrow to keep 3rd. Not that he cares, but I do lol

Alonso needs P3, while Vettel has to finish lower than P7. Lower than P7 won't happen, so yeah, DNF. Even if Vettel got a technical problem, Alonso wouldn't be able to beat Hamilton, Button and Webber in that car. Wait, forget about Webber. Alonso will probably pass him at the start from P8.
I know, and that's why I want see him win so he can snub FIA's prizegiving ceremony.

Not buying it. There's no way he wins the championship in a dry race so it makes complete sense to go with a proper wet setup.
Vettel said that?
I saw the post-quali and when Webber said he's going to race his own race and worry about what's in his own cockpit... I believe him. In fact, he'll probably go out of his way to show that he's not going to give assistance to Vettel.
If there's a way Webber can decide the championship and chooses to do the thing that keeps Vettel from getting it... oh man, it would be glorious.

Trying to make sense of Ferrari's strategies is not really possible.

Replays show a massive lockup for Alonso, probably that's the mistake he made?
The setup of Alonso´s car for this race was prepared for water conditions.
If tomorrow´s race is with water he could win , if not raining tomorrow, Alonso is doomed.

Now who's in font of Alonso?
Webber
Vettel
Massa
Prupose
The Hulk
For Alonso to have a chance, Vettel has to DNF, so let's assume that happens. What should happen so Alonso can be on the podium
Massa is a given, Prupose and Hulk are no match to Ferrari's pace, Webber always find ways to fuck up his race, so Alonso should catch him easily.
That's without hoping for any of the McLarens to pop. So basically all he needs is a Vettel DNFs and he has a good chance of clinching the title
