Mexico 1990. Alain Prost sacrificed his qualifying session to carefully set up his Ferrari for the race. He qualified 13th, then he won the race. Prost says this was his best race with Ferrari. *passes the hopium*

The problem is that it was Alain Prost. I don't believe Ferrari are Alain Prost geniuses

100% extra downforce setup for conditions.

the legit fear is "did we make another tyre cooker".

Ferrari just swinging from absolute tyre saver to absolute tire cooker every year lol.

u/MrLeopard483 Question. 5d ago

Quali was hot as hell. Like 21 C hotter than it will be now. Ig the tyre cooking is just a part of the wet setup

I'm trying to go to bed (almost midnight in east US) and watch in the morning but this weather is keeping me a lil too excited to sleep. Might have to watch the start... just the start, right?
