Another bad day at the office Ferrari

[peter]

What's red and has a silver tail? = a Ferrari. How do you stop Ferrari from winning a race? you do not have to they can do it all by themselves. I have heard them all over the last few days. I hate to say it but they are throwing away this years championship with all these silly mistakes. How I miss the Schumacher years they seem so long ago now. Not so much a dream team anymore more like a nightmare. Having said that I will still be getting up early over the next few weeks to support them. May phone them later see if they need a new member for the pit crew I would even bring my own big white stick as I think they need to get rid of those daft lights.

I see they brought back the lollipop after the fuel rig incident.

I must admit that I'm impressed with Massa's sheer pace - but what has happened to Raikkonen? He's not fast and he's accident prone - and Ferrari has extended his contract...

still trying to find the full story on the fuel rig incident. I did read the other that someone in the garage overruled the the guys in the pit crew and this may be how it went wrong ??

I have always like massa he was fast when he came into f1 but just a bit wild. I think this must be what Ferrari saw in him that then lead to him being the test driver for a year. Most people just seem to think that he was Schumacher's lap dog but love or hate him Schumacher was something special and to beat him you would have had to be something extra special. Yes he has had some bad drives this year Silver stone springs to mind but the car is not good in the wet as we have now seen at the few wet races this year. He also seems to have been a match for Kimi.

Talking of Kimi well what can I say. No matter who came into Ferrari as the number one driver after Schumacher it was always going to take some living up to. Yes he won last year but that was also due to Maclern and lewis making so many mistakes in the last few races. This year is just so strange he seems to be no where in a race then sets the fastest lap and that seems to be his days work done. I have read that Ferrari have signed him hoping that all the rule changes to the car and the way it will then work will suit him next year if not they may start to look elsewhere even if he still has a year to run on his contract.

Kimi said right from the start that he did not need any help or advice from Schumacher. Massa on the other hand has worked closely with the Master (Schumacher) who still has a lot of say in what Farrari do, so I'm sure he will end up Farrari's top driver. Lets face it Kimi never won the world championship, he was handed it by an inexperienced Hamilton.

Yes that's how I see it. Kimi just does not seem ferrari material to me. I am sure he has not been taken to heart by the fans like other Ferrari drivers before him.

Re: Another bad day at the office Ferrari

has there been any news on the guys sent sprawling in the pits? wasn't good to see either of those incidents. just lucky that the flailing fuel hose didn't collect anyone else on it's trip down the pit lane.

not sure what's going on with kimi. the way be binned it in both s'pore & spa was surprising. difference between schu & kimi was that schu came to ferrari when they were on a downer. kimi on the other hand hit them on the crest of the wave and, frankly, could've been expected to perform better than he has.
