the crap that is bridgestone

Well once again Bridgestone have cost Ferrari a podium and decent qualifying. I have tried to defend these people for the last few seasons, but i think its time Ferrari and the other two switch to Michelin as its clear Bridgestone cant produce anything decent.
Nice to see we are back to the normal lack of entertainment, so much for new regulations slowing cars down, schumi with a new lap record. Good work Max, your competance knows no bounds.

Killing the speed? a new lap record was set yesterday. I say we send them back to 1992, same car style same lack of electronics.

true, but if i am not mistaken most on most of the other courses already raced the records stand from last year. the drivers are too worried about killing their tires

yeah, but as the season progresses that'll change. Well for those running michelin at least. The Italian GP could be very fast this year. As will the USGP

that was the point though, they are spending too much on their cars.
what people dont realise, is Ferrari F1 are actually a small team they may have the huge budget, but not the same man power as Williams or Mclaren, this year has been hurt by the fire at their factory last year, and the simple fact they got cocky through the winter by doing nothing. they now have as it has show at imola and for a short time, barcelona, the fastest car out there. Problem is, the one thing they haven't had to deal with before is reliability, its now come back and is biting them on the ass. add that to the crap tyres they are seriously in trouble.

You can complain about the tires all you want.  But it is more than the tires.  Sure Bridgstone sucks this year, but the Ferrari is not as great as you make it out to be.  Time to accept it Craig, Ferrari just don't have it together right now.  It is not the best car out there, and if they do not get the best car, their best driver will leave, as he stated last year.
