Briatore on Brawn drivers & credibility *merged*

Quote:

"The drivers in our teams have been and are world champions, while the championship is now fought between a driver who was almost retired and another one who is a good guy but a paracarro (Italian saying for being as slow as a milepost at the side of a road)," Briatore told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I don't know where credibility has ended up with all this. To make up the gap we have to those teams is impossible."

Rather than taking a pop at the Brawn drivers, and questioning the credibility of a championship being led by those drivers, Briatore should get his team of world champions working harder to make up that gap.

The Brawn diffuser is legal. Get over it :rolleyes:

Arse :down:

I pretty much agree with him.

Given that he had Button in his team, he's much better positioned to judge him than any of us will ever be.

PS: I see you are starting to get to the lower level words in order to express an opinion, I wonder why?!

I agree with Arrows. Flavio is a bitter, old man and I wouldn't call Nelson a "world champion" yet ;) IMO Renault also didn't have many fans prior 2005, but this didn't stop them from winning :)

That's if you think that all the French and Spanish people (who amount to around 100.000.000) doesn't exist.

He's saying what others are thinking! Unlike fans Flavio has a vested interest.
He's blowing off steam. It doesn't change the reality of the situation.
If you get behind the wheel and win your a winner.
Winners don't let trash talk get to them!
I wouldn't!

ioan, if you check the stats you will see that many Spanish fans grew interested AFTER 2005. Same will be with Brawn. There are many British fans, who will love the team this year. And non-British, like me :)

True. Although it's not overly professional to say things like this, but I doubt anyone expected him to be any different.

Flavio Briatore is like Cristiano Ronaldo ;) Ronaldo sometimes says funny things :)

Funny how he didn't have a problem with credibility over mass dampers or Michelin rubber! He's blowing off steam but...if Rubens is a sign post, Nelsinho must be the road-side cafe going nowhere fast.
