May I refer you to post #1460?

May I also point out that Giancarlo was a shoe-in for the previous shoe-in Badoer, who replaced the recouperating Massa.

But there isn't a fast and talented Italian F1 driver currently.

Nobody would expect a team to run a driver based solely on nationality. Especially when that team was founded by Enzo Ferrari, whose only concern was to hire the fastest.

I try to be as even handed as possible on this issue, and bringing quotes to this forum is meant tabling something for open discussion and not something that can be intended in any other way. I certainly have no doomsday reaction to what Ferrari may or may not have said or done.

And having said that, I have absolutely no idea what McLaren did to Jarno Trulli.

I meant "YOU" referring to the Ferrari haters

This is a discussion forum and we all have differing opinions. If you can't join in the debate without dragging the inferiority complex guise into the equation, then this is a strange place to share your thoughts IMO. F1 forums follow the same trend, and there will be hypocrisy whereever you go, be it Ferrari or Mclaren fans to some extent. If I cried everytime someone took a swipe at Hamilton on here, I'd be a nervous wreck by now.. :p

I CANNOT have an inferiority complex simply because I am a Ferrari fan.
I pity anyone who is incapable of waiting for the FIA to make a decision in the matter and decide instead to run their mouth costantly over something that has been discussed already a billion time and pretending that everyone else is an angel. If you wanna talk, but at least try or to show or pretend you know what you are talking about.

PS I might have a complex, but of inferiority is very unlikely. That was hysterical :) :) :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Max making a recommendation even though he states that he is not making the recommendation that he recommends?

While at Ferrari - Lauda did not get on with Reutemann because he did not like him. Lauda did not believe in teammates either and it was only years later that he mellowed towards the Argentinian.

And out of the 15 races they contested Niki beat Carlos 8 times in qualifyingincluding a pole position and he had 3 wins to Reutemann's 1.

Lauda never asked for help from management - he sorted it out himself.

I messed up the facts (hey, I'm on pain killers from having a tooth pulled!) on Reutemann - Niki actually tried to stop Ferrari from hiring him because he felt he was a bit too fast. In a way, Niki was trying to make team orders.

As the last President Max will be one of the judges in the WMSC court.
