They were in a mess before Jean Todt and they are in a mess after they pushed him out.
Yep, the mess before Todt was so bad that it took many many years to get them on their feet. Double floor cars, 3.0 V12s, cars designed in England cause the designer didn't want to spend time in Maranello etc.... Now they are doing ok because they still got good designers but if they lose one or two key people from the design office, then it's going to be chaos all over the place. I'm not hoping for that since F1 needs Ferrari.Quote:

To be honest, I have been expecting more from Ferrari as I thought the switch to Pirelli tyres would suit them plus Aldo Costa and the team has been capable of designing at least good cars. Present situation seems like a pure Ferrari 94-95 kind of level. Wonder if current form is just an exception or are they going to be a distant third team for years to come?!
Massa seemed to come good again, but in the last races has fallen apart and been worse than I can remember him being in dry conditions! What is wrong? Can he rebound? Will he keep his place in the team?
ioan, remember, those who are not Ferrari fans are not welcome to spit their venom around here!Quote:

Red Bull uses the same engine or similar as it used by Renault. But they can perform far better than team whom their engine is supplied by.
Hiring a reputed engineer will give the same excitement and isn't less important than Flavio. :)
Nice race from Fernando. Let's see if he and Ferrari can start building up to a better second half of the season again, and maybe next year have a decent start of the season too :p
Great drive from Alonso :up: Still a long way off the pace of RB & Macca, but as we saw last season he can catch up if Ferrari keeps developing the car successfully :)
