Yeah, so let's get back to the Bridgestone era then, and we'll talk about qualifying in Turkey.

Vettel looked very happy with that new chassis, setting the pace in Q1 and Q2, but he then complained of a brake problem in Q3, so he's only third on the grid, while teammate Weber once again took pole.

The McLarens of Hamilton and Button were second and fourth, the Mercedes of Schumacher and Rosberg were fifth and sixth, and Kubica's Renault was seventh.

So where are the Ferraris?

Felipe Massa was 8th, while Fernando Alonso fell in Q2 and lined up 12th on the grid.

Things didn't get that much better for them in the race, with Massa and Alonso finishing 7th and 8th, which prompted Alonso to declare that Red Bull and McLaren were very far away and that Ferrari was at Renault's level.

Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali said that it was failing to keep up with the development rate of the top teams.

And he said he needed to understand why our aero department didn't bring the things that we were supposed to bring.

He said he wanted to see a reaction, not depression.

John, obviously, Alonso goes on to fight for this championship to the very end.

At this point of the season, though, did it feel like Ferrari were getting left behind?

And they were still having to adapt to life without being able to test at Fiorano whenever they wanted as well.

Going back and doing the research for this, around this time, before and after every race, there was a status update of which team.

Team X says they're not going to do an F-Duct yet.

Or Team Y says they're going to try one in practice.

And Driver A doesn't like F-Duct and doesn't want to use it.

And this one's with a hat.

We got a lot of content out of that back then as a team.

as an industry.

But we're going to get into the race now and we go straight to the reason that we're all here.
