The Ferrari thread !

Hey Luca, go throw yourself under a train.

You and Domenicali are clueless tools.

Alas, even with a fantastic Sunday by Fernando, I feel the title is over.

There are encouraging signs for Monza, if the top speed advantage without DRS can be maintained on a Monza set-up.

But, straight after the Autodromo, Domenicali must show strength and make the decision to go to 2014 for all development. To chase 2013 after Monza would be detrimental.

RBR and Seb are doing what Ferrari and The Shoe did between 2000 - 2004. RBR are peerless at the moment and the rest are just spectators.

Holy sh!t the old dog is still around :D

Ferrari should be strong at Monza although Red Bull is still the favorite IMO. Apparently there is finally some good development work going on. I don't think they (Fred) have a very good chance of overhauling RB. Felipe is playing to the home crowd I'm sure, however his comments are music to my ears:
Felipe Massa sure Ferrari now back on track after Belgian GP result - F1 news - AUTOSPORT.com

Maybe, I think it depends on who pushes developement work longest.

And by using the word "jackpot" I am deliberately implying that there are elements of luck and coincidence required.

It is clear that intentional and planned improvement is beyond us.

Not so fast there mister. ;)

Wonder, when will Ferrari get to the top again. Yeah, they have been close several times, but not quite there across the whole season.

It would be a huge blow for competitors if the next Ferrari era began after Vettel has joined the team.

It is now five years since it can be last claimed Ferrari really had the fastest car over a season (2008).

With the current crop of management and technical staff, don't think it will happen :(

So long as it is before 2028, I can manage!

I don't think I could bear another 21 year drought. One of those in a lifetime is enough.

However, having said that, I do still hope the knife is wielded on the management sooner rather than later.
