i really dont believe Ferrari is making Vettel's car slower it doesnt make sense at all why Ferrari would be ok for having less cons. points anyway..
What I think about SEB's problem ?

For the rest of the season ,SEB will be screwed by Binotto's prancing horse .

For sure it was the German gp that broke the camels back when slippery surface caught VET out and he needed reassurance which wasn't forthcoming,traditional SF treatment when you fall out of favour going back to the fifties even. Then the little squabbles and Lec winning Monza with the weight becoming too much.
If Piquet snr was there then a barrage of swearing and shouting would embarrass the Scud!

Just watched the quali and the second gap still remains to the third driver, no wonder Wolff is complaining about the new Concorde agreement with the cut in funding that Merc will have to take.So far the only one who doesn't want to sign

ok.. why most of the teams are slower than last year? there is not change in reg except the secondary sensor for restricting the fuel flow.. so most of the engine were cheating last year?

Sounds good my friend !
Worked yesterday till past midnight .So ,I woke up pretty late today . For me it was French bread with strawberry jam and Passendale cheese ...
Dessert was : Strawberrry yogurt

As for MAX :
Tomorrow he will start with hard tires , as we know this can be tricky in the start .
But after 5-6 laps he will get the advantage of the hard tires by staying longer out of the pits ..
I already see the Mercs chewing through their tires ...Again by the even hotter temps.

Max is the only one to start on the hard tyre as he chose it for Q2 while the others went for mediums, so that's what he'll use at the start and he was comfortable with it.
