I don't know why Alonso blocking Massa's Ferrari deliberately.

@blainyrules its been 18 thousand for ages e.g.2002

@stefanarak I know. Somewhat ironically, Ferrari practically tried to mimic this to give Alonso a slipstream at Monza this year...

[stefanarak]

@MetaKnightsKirby Yeah so? You don't have to let another car through just so it doesn't get your dirty air, I mean you're not allowed to actively block it from passing but >_>. that penalty is just strange.

@crytycyl Yes, the Ferrari rack is slower compared to that of the Mclaren, but the understeer here is clear to see, as well as it being a very well known fact that Ferrari's baseline tends/tended towards understeer. Initial turn-in is okay, but surely you can see mid-corner the front is sliding... He's even on and off the power through the 1st Lesmo. Obviously it's not in the same league as the rear weight biased Renault.

@jianh1989 cause massa was in a flying lap and alonso needed to move over.

@bazil83 at the same time its easy to see this, just look at how much the front wheels are turning in comparison with the amount of steering input. mclaren used a very small degree from 2001-2008, as u can see any of lewis's onboard where he turns the steering wheel very little.

[crytycyl]

@bazil83 lol it is well known that ferrari always uses a longer turning ratio than the other cars. The ferrari wheels moves about 400 degrees compared to mclaren or redbull who uses much less. so the ferrari drivers will have to turn the wheel more to achieve the same wheel turn degree. it gives finer control to the drivers but at the same time requires more work to be done. the front end of the ferrari is actually very strong.

@leo1fun it's because they have more RPM.
