You know last night I had a dream about riding in a bus and passing the 1993 Scuderia Italia Lola driven by Luca Badoer. I can't help but feel that the dream was trying to tell me something.
On outright speed, not penalised for blatant cheating!Quote:

I feel for this guy. I wouldn't say no either to a Ferrari drive, and a chance to get back int F1. something to tell my kids, something special for an Italian to drive. But let's hope foer his sake and ferrari's that this was his last F1 race.
They didn't qualify dead last, they were demoted, that's a big difference!Quote:

Lets hope he can repay the faith the Ferrari mamagement have offered him by pulling out a credible performance in the race.
I really find this character assassignation of a driver by some members quite distasteful but am not surprised. As ben says, this is F1 and not some mass murder or crime of similar gravity. Give the boy a break and let him enjoy what might be his last, emotional race for a team he has dedicated a quarter of his life to.
I would like to think that if DC had a test drive for McLaren or Hill at Williams, we would applaud them even though they were dead last :(
There is still room for genorisity, respect and manners in F1 no matter what some "life or death" fans would have us think the sport has become.
So, I guess we could say that the promotion of BADoer was a lapse in judgement, and the on track results could be seen as an embarassment for the team.Quote:
