My option #4: Spain 2012. An unfortunate start to the season for Massa (Ferrari) and Schumacher (Mercedes) when they were in 17th-18th place in the WDC after the 5th (!) race of the season and they had only 4 pts between them
#F1 #Ferrari
My option #3: Monaco 2006. Ferrari started from the back row at the legendary track. Massa didn't participate in qualifying. Schumacher "tried to cheat", but a scandal ensued and he was disqualified and started from pit lane!
#F1 #Ferrari
My option #2: Malaysia 2010. Ferrari was unlucky with the rain, with Alonso and Massa knocked out of Q1 without improving their times due to the downpour. Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) was also eliminated along with them, which isn't as disappointing
#F1 #Ferrari
My option #1: In Great Britain 2014, Alonso and Raikkonen was in 19-20 places, this was one of the weakest qual in turbo-era
#F1 #Ferrari
Well, I got tired of the Mercedes era.
My favorite driver was first Jules, then Kimi, and now Charles
I also rooted for Alonso, Seb, and Carlos a little bit
As for favorite drivers, I like Hamilton. It's a shame it's 2021; I was supporting for Max more, but Lewis joined Ferrari and I'm confused
If I had a fan career, what would it look like? I've watched 255 races so far, and out of 240, I'm a Ferrari fan and 15, a Marussia fan (based on my avatar)
Also Brazil 2012, Singapore 2017 ๐
I didn't expect anyone to answer me (about "๐ง๐ง๐ง")
Well, yeah! I watched a couple races in 2011-13. I started watching regularly since 2014 and support for Ferrari (in autumn)
You're a seasoned fan, a true "veteran". I support Ferrari since 2014 ๐ค
Try me, I'm a Ferrari fan, I have the whole day ahead of me, starting with 2008 ๐

๐ธ๐ช At 2018 Bahrain Grand Prix, Marcus Ericsson finished 8th, ending a streak of 58 consecutive races without a points finish
The Swede set a record for the most consecutive Grand Prix without a points finish as a full-time driver, not from the start of his career
#F1 #Ericsson
๐ Since 2016 Belgian Grand Prix, Kimi Raikkonen has been unable to make up any positions after the 1st lap of a race
The streak lasted 58 races in a row and was interrupted at 2018 US Grand Prix
In that race, Kimi started 2nd and took the lead at the start and won the race
