They just said on TV that Rocky (Vettel's race engineer) will be taking a senior job at Red Bull and that Sergio Perez' race engineer this year, will be Vettel's. I hope he doesen't end up with Kimi's issues with the change of engineeres.

Looks like Ham is missing the practice due to technical problems.

79 GPs in a row, in the points for Ferrari.

Kimi is spending a lot of time in the pits, hope it's not another technical problem for him too.

"For various reasons, Friday in Monza is always a bit different to the others, with a special significance for our team in the weekend of its home race. The track characteristics also make it one of a kind: here you run with low aerodynamic downforce, you feel the car is quicker down the straights and lighter in the corners and, as was the case today, you need to try different downforce levels. In general, I'm happy with the work we did on set-up and tyres and especially with the time I did with a heavy fuel load. Towards the end, we were worried we had a problem, but to banish any doubt, we went out for another lap and everything seemed back to normal. Now, we are preparing for tomorrow and we hope to do well for all the fans who were already here today cheering us on from the stands."

Kimi Raikkonen, P1 - 1:27.493, 7th; P2 - 1:26.331, 3rd
"It was a very busy day, but a positive one. We made the most of every minute available to us in both sessions, managing to try everything we had on our programme. In the morning, we concentrated on assessing different aero configurations, in search of the best level of downforce. Then in the afternoon, we opted for an intermediate solution that seemed to produce the best results on both compounds. The difference between the Medium and the Hard is more or less what we expected; the softer one behaves well, but in terms of driveability, I found the Hard wasn't bad either."

Pat Fry, Ferrari chassis director
"Monza is a special circuit with unique characteristics. The long straights and the small number of corners mean that on Friday one has to work on finding the best aerodynamic configuration. Even if in general, the cars have less downforce, this year it's more complicated than usual to find the right set-up and decide what is the right level of downforce for the fast corners such as Ascari or the Parabolica. Therefore, in the morning and the afternoon, we worked to improve the cars' stability and now we will try and optimise our package based on the data gathered from both drivers. Fortunately, we encountered no problems today and it was important to get through the programme, including evaluating tyre performance, as the ability to generate grip from the tyres is even more important when the cars are running in low downforce configuration. Overall, we are pleased with today's work, but we know we still face a particularly demanding weekend."

Ted interviewed JPM, he talked a lot of sense Kimi was in the background briefly

Kimi ended 7th in FP3.
LdM was there and he hugged Nando very intensive. Sign for what? LdM go? Nando go? They love each other?

Italian journo Pino Allievi said that Luca is departing

But they also love each other

W

Kimi will start from 12 tomorrow (no, from 11 because the penalty for Kvyat). Not that good
Lets hope for a clean race

But still we believe in our Kimi

So what can we do? Still hoping for a good race without any issues or problems. Again we saw that the friday means nothing...
