Will Ferrari recover in time to fight for the championship?

Question

Ferraris worst start since 1992 i believe

Answer 1

They wont recover in time to fight for the championship but they will improve and they will end up as one of the best teams, but i dont think they can win the constructors championship.

Answer 2

Kimi was the most sensible in the rain, I'm still laughing over the highly focused racers who sat there in the rain waiting for the impossible while Kimi was enjoying the comforts of the pits.



And Foxhound shows his obvious bias when saying that the Ferrari is slow. Out of traffic (after lap 11) Kimi was lapping consistently at 1:38:XXX, barely a second off Button's pace. About a second is what advantage the diffusers would give. If Ferrari can develop one in time for China, then we are back on pace and we have the KERS on. Brawn is yet to deploy their energy recovery system. Adding it all Ferrari is still a force to reckon with and "will" is not the question, it is "when?"



And watch out for Kimi when his ride is worthy of his talent. This is the guy who won a race starting 17th!

Answer 3

It all depends on how fast they can come up with a new diffuser that the top teams like BrawnGP are using. I'd say give it two more races before Ferrari can jump back into the games. Although Kubica without the better diffuser nearly won the race in Australia beating cars that had diffusers.. so Ferrari might have other problems. It's hard to tell at the moment.

Answer 4

Absolutely no way in the world because they have ruined their season opener and second round, unless of course they dominate the next 15 races. I think their 2009 challenger will not be a challenger at all compared to those like Brawn GP, BMW Sauber and Toyota.

Answer 5

oi foxhound dont diss kimi, the race wasn't going to start anyways to what was the point in waiting around and he wasn't going to be in the points and so dont slag him of. hes a flipping awesome driver when he puts his mind to it. its the ferrari car that he cant shine in and i think that ferrari might make a comeback but later on in the season it could be too late who knows only they do. but it was a team mistake that cost kimi otherwise he could have been in the points.

Answer 6

No, they've designed a donkey that without the KERS boost would be one of the slowest cars on the track. And as Eddie Jordan said this time they can't spend their way out of it because there is a budget cap this year on research and development. They are also saddled with a driver - Raikkonen - that is more interested in gobbling ice creams than racing his car as shown at Malaysia today!

Answer 7

No. They may ahve a good car, but their pit strategies seem to be terrible!

Answer 8

Yes they will, Very good for competition
