Sagi yelped for joy when she saw the car on fire, although it took her a bit to figure it wasn't Nico. Alonso has a better chance of coming in fifth place now!

That is one of the most ridiculous and offensive things you've assumed about me!!
When I heard "a" car was on fire, my first thought was that I hoped whomever was
behind the wheel was safe. Maybe YOUR life revolves around winning a stupid game;
but, don't assume that mine does!!

((edit: typo))

Bianchi out qualifies Kimi. We were saying...........

Yes, he did. He also out qualified another WDC, didn't he?

You think Bianchi should take pride in 'outqualifying' a burnt car?

No more than he should take pride in "out-qualifying" a driver whose team made a bad call!

[CookinFlat6]

F1 is a team sport, and part of the sport is the driver + team making decisions and performing on track.

How do you equate a burnt car with failed driver + team performance?

Unless you mean cars burning out are also a result of the performance of driver + team

This would change the whole basis of judging performance, dnfs would no longer be taken into consideration when judging drivers performance as it would be his fault always

Sagi would have been concerned for Lewis's health and safety - period. If she was there and capable, she would have been at the front to help Lewis.

.

Oh she absolutely wouldn't! Because that would be me at the front to help Lewis! I would trample Sagi out of the Way( sorry Sagi) and anyone else who was in the way. Looking after Lewis, my job!!

Part of the team, in this team sport, IS the car.
And, yes, """""some""""" DNFs can help judge a driver's race performance.

Knowing your crush on Hamilton, you'd do that regardless of whether there was an accident or not!

How about some Ferrari support Tifosi... Instead?

And you would be able to spend more time with him, not having to sneak off to yelp, sorry, write a post giving the thumb up to his burnt car

Ferrari have denied that Pat Fry has been sacked amid claims that the team’s engineering director has paid the price for the Scuderia’s lacklustre campaign.

Contacted by Sky Sports Online on Monday evening, a team spokesman rejected reports Fry had been sacked in the wake of their dismal start to the 2014 season.

However, according to Sky sources, Fry has been dismissed in the latest act of behind-the-scenes bloodletting following the team's underwhelming performances at the dawn of F1’s new hybrid era. Team boss Stefano Domenicali was replaced by Marco Mattiacci in April while engine chief Luca Marmorini is also understood to have left the Scuderia earlier this month.

Speaking at Silverstone following reports of Marmorini’s ousting, a Ferrari spokesman said: “I have no comment to make on this. We are re-organising several areas of our structure and when we’re ready to make an announcement, we’ll let you know.”

Fry joined Ferrari in 2010 and his departure would leave James Allison, recruited from Lotus just twelve months ago, as the undisputed head of Ferrari’s technical set-up.

Despite, like runaway championship leaders Mercedes, being able to build their 2014 car and engine in-house – a capability seen as critical for the launch of the sport’s rules revolution and an advantage denied to both McLaren and Red Bull to telling effect – Ferrari have struggled to compete throughout the year.

While their engine has been exposed as overweight and underpowered, its erratic power delivery has frustrated both Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen since the turn of the year with the Finn’s struggles exacerbated by the uncooperative behaviour of the F14 T.

Although Alonso was able to muscle the car to a podium finish at the Hungaroring on Sunday, Raikkonen finished over half a minute behind race winner Daniel Ricciardo despite two Safety Car deployments.

In the team’s post-race press release, Fry was quoted as saying: “After the summer break, we come to two races that will be difficult for us, on two tracks where it will be important to make the most of any opportunity, just as we did today.

"On behalf of the team, I wish to congratulate Fernando and Kimi. We had promised them redemption and we were true to our word. We know that there is still a long way to go, but we will spare nothing in our efforts, continuing to work hard to improve, day by day.”

But if reports are to be believed, time may have already run out for the Englishman.

I am glad they have found the culprit so quickly

Maybe he was responsible for the exemplary sandbagging pre season when enlightened Ferrari observers convinced everyone of the F1Ats space age weight saving cooling systems, and the innovative fuel saving off throttle, and of course the astoundingly clever use of space based detectors to produced lap times that had been sampled in millisecond intervals allowing a lap time that was faster to appear slower.

Oh well Im sure they still got other equally clever engineers left

Man winter testing hopes/predictions and discussions seem so long ago now.

Oh god I remember that, I even saw that on a genuine F1 article website and was really just astounded that anyone believed that. Clicks and cash I suppose.
