00:00 - 00:05 | My friend Alonso just called and asked me: |
00:05 - 00:07 | Have you seen Free Practice? |
00:07 - 00:10 | I told him of course I did! |
00:11 - 00:16 | After all this nonsensical Ferrari hype train |
00:17 - 00:21 | I couldn't afford to miss it. |
00:21 - 00:24 | Those long runs from Mercedes... |
00:29 - 00:31 | Hamilton and Bottas were about |
00:31 - 00:34 | one second faster than Ferrari. |
00:38 - 00:40 | ONE second... |
00:41 - 00:47 | Everyone was saying Ferrari was the fastest |
00:47 - 00:50 | after winter testing. |
00:50 - 00:56 | Even Hamilton conceded they were the favourites. |
00:58 - 00:59 | Leading the pecking order. |
00:59 - 01:01 | Vettel lifted on the final sector |
01:04 - 01:06 | of his fastest lap around Barcelona. |
01:06 - 01:08 | Everyone was hoping Ferrari could win the title |
01:13 - 01:14 | and beat the world champions Mercedes... |
01:14 - 01:16 | They repackaged their sidepods |
01:16 - 01:20 | and everyone was silly enough to believe that |
01:21 - 01:27 | they had unlocked some magic downforce |
01:35 - 01:36 | by improving the flow to the diffuser. |
01:36 - 01:39 | Ferrari was not only supposedly ahead of Mercedes |
01:41 - 01:44 | but they were even sandbagging massively. |
01:44 - 01:47 | Sandbagging massively, although historically |
01:47 - 01:49 | Ferrari always shows their true pace |
01:50 - 01:53 | early on during winter testing. |
01:54 - 01:56 | Ferrari sandbagging... |
01:56 - 01:58 | They always go light on fuel loads, |
01:58 - 02:02 | whereas Mercedes is the one that truly sandbags. |
02:05 - 02:07 | Mercedes didn't do a single performance run. |
02:10 - 02:11 | And the fans were also convinced |
02:11 - 02:13 | that Ferrari had unleashed more power. |
02:15 - 02:17 | More power than Mercedes. |
02:17 - 02:20 | More power than MERCEDES! |
02:21 - 02:28 | How could they have believed this? |
02:29 - 02:30 | Fools... |
02:30 - 02:32 | Especially after 2014, 2015 and 2016. |
02:36 - 02:39 | Mercedes always turns up the wick during |
02:40 - 02:42 | Q3 and suddenly everyone else is dead slow. |
02:50 - 02:55 | Did Ferrari fans miss the previous seasons? |
02:56 - 02:58 | Alonso haters were also joining |
02:58 - 03:04 | the hype train. Choo choo choo. |
03:04 - 03:09 | Saying my friend would regret leaving Ferrari. |
03:09 - 03:11 | Well, guess what... |
03:16 - 03:20 | He was right all along. |
03:23 - 03:26 | Ferrari will never win again. |
03:31 - 03:36 | Maybe even McLaren Honda wins first. |
