With their current drivers they look like b-class team anyway.

But yep, it doesnt look like not having enought sponsors anymore.

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

I hate the Etihad sponsorship on the back or the rear wing... reminds of a spyker.

They should have used it on the front... why arent they using Marlboro this weekend? I thought they were allowed in Bahrain? they had it in testing I believe?

Found this pic, so yes they did have marlboro sponsorship.

Yeah, I notice that too about barcode in bahrein. Is now in Bahrein forbidden tabbaco sponsors. If I remember, last year ferrari had marlboro logo just on 3 tracks (Bahrein, Monaco and Shahghai). Is this year will be less than last...?
And one more comment about ferrari (altenative livery with 'barcode'. To be honest I liked last year (both) livery, but this I not like barcode scheme on engine cover, I will prefer clear red instead what it is now (first 2 races).

Wasn't Ferrari bringing new barge boards, front and rear wings and engine cover? All I saw until now was the new rear wing livery...

The aero bit at the front was cancelled as they have the reliability and want to keep that up right now so Dominicali has ordered a No No on the update. Never heard about the Barge boards, and engine cover

I remember back in 97, when I started watching f1 full time, and I remember how it was cool the odd NT race, britain, france, germany, but now its getting old... surely Ferrari could ifnd a 'red based' sponsor willing to pay as much as Phillip Morris....

yes ive noticed the same thing.the bridge wing is flexing considerabley.

Raja Hassan Bin Naeem.

w00t, go Rosberg (and Nakajima )

I wonder if Williams can keep their pace throughout the weekend, rather than losing it when it comes to qualifying and the race?

Good to see Piquet keeping up with Alonso, too

They'll not keep that pace. Bahrain is a place they seem to go well on traditionally, but they're not going to be battling for the, which is what Rosberg's pace suggests on face value.

good to see the barcode back on the rear wing, although i think a white barcode on a red background would look better

The mclaren wing does not seem to be flexing from what I can see in fp2.

I don't like Ferrari's barcode on the rear wing. The simplicity of this year's car was what made it good to me, like when you see the plain red nose from the T-cam.
