A few hours of thought, and this is my suggestion -
The Ferrari board removed Montezemolo and Domenicali, and adapt the principles of the early 90's new-broom, whereby they bank-roll the arrival of a complete, new-to-Ferrari but proven within motorsport, management structure.
In other words, these lot -

Todt dynasty-style.

Could it be that they kept the little pouter on because of the chance of a favourable nod from Jean ?
It's not a very sophisticated idea , and not very long term thought , which , I guess , pretty much fits with the overall picture .
It would be fun, if only to hear the squeals from those who don't like red cars about what the FIA stands for!
It may well be that Todt junior had some leverage, i,e - friends in influential places within Maranello, to keep Massa ensconced, if only because he had been there as his manager for the complete duration.
I think the Massa scenario was more due to the inadequacies of the management, having some misguided sense of loyalty, than any hope of getting an easy ride from the FIA President.
Jean Todt has never struck me as the sort to dish out favours based on friendship. Or based on anything else for that matter.

Anyone else with any suggestions? I would hate to think that I would be accused of not being willing to be persuaded by other views, especially as I am the only one who has ever refused to be impressed by a counter-argument!
Statistically, you are more likely to have an accident in a red car.Quote:

Considering the additions to the team’s technical dept, I can't really see any major shakeup in management before 2015. The team is already fully committed to the 2014 challenger.

Statistically, you are also more likely to have an innappropriately young, pneumatically-chested goldigga lady in the passenger seat of a Ferrari.Quote:

But if you are going to go.
Man when I turn 60, I hope that is the exact situation I find myself in :p:Quote:

Good at something this season!
Good to see the mechanics outperforming the car, anyway.
That is truely mind blowing! All Ferrari need now is a race with a pit stop every 5 laps and they would be at least competitive with RedBull.Quote:
