I am sure Ferrari do hope to get good points. It is interesting to that for three races now they have started sure, than confident, and now eager for points. I hope they manage it this time, with a flawless race for both drivers to let us see how fast the Ferrari’s relative speed now is, and to keep them into both championships.

With McLaren likely to now have a working EBD, Renault getting over a not so great last race, Merc. eager for a home win and gaining some pace, Williams finding pace, FI regaining some lost ground, and Red Bull as strong as ever, I fear Ferrari’s window of opportunity to be the 2nd fastest might be rather narrow, so they need to get it together now.

Don’t count out either of the McLarens or either of the Mercedes if it rains. They’ve all proven to be great rain drivers at one time or another. Kubica and Sutil as well…

Agreed. I’m not a big Ferrari fan, but it would be great to see Alonso back in the running for the title, simply to see the points tighten back up between all the front runners. The closer it is going into the end of the season, the more exciting it will be.

Do or die race for Ferrari. Unless Fernando wins, and Massa finishes on the podium, Ferrari’s chance for WDC are finished. I have a feeling this result will be their best of the season (just as bahrain obviously).

Personally I think that Ferrari must make sure that they dominate on Sat and have a no mistakes on Sun, for the next couple of races for this to happen. Otherwise it’s back to the workbench for 2011.

That would be a magic moment. Rosberg bringing it home in the German GP. He would be Germany’s no. 1 driver immediately i suppose.

If there’s real rain, i think Vettel will be pretty well positioned to have a go at winning it, as will Mark (Red Bull grip advantage). If it’s changeable during the weekend maybe Rosberg has a chance, as have both McLarens and Alonso, if he and his team cut out the mistakes. Who knows, Kubica might throw in a suprise as well.

For some funny reason, I can see a sneak Rosberg win on strategy. Probably not though.

I think Ferrari are too far behind in the championship now. They have to regularly beat one of the Red Bull or McLaren and both of them in other races to be able to challenge strongly, and I don’t see that happening. They’ll be there mathematically until the Far East rounds, but I think that’s when their challenge will be over.

It’s written on Ferrari official site: http://www.ferrari.com/English/Formula1/News/Headlines/Pages/100720_f1_germangp_aiming_for_a_big_points_haul.aspx
I think it’s just a journalist for the website.

Any Idea who’s being quoted here?
Was it Domenicali?

Well maybe we should have Alonso winning in that case with Rosberg and Massa close behind!

I would think Ferrari does not hope they get points, but race in a way as to get them. In the mean time a lot of fans will hope they will do so, it would be a shame if they dropped out of the front battle.
