If he had any common sense he would have given up after FP1 in Valencia, his pace and is attitude weren't right.Quote:

Apparently he is also sucks pretty hard at giving excuses: http://f1.gpupdate.net/en/news/2009/...er-qualifying/
Hmm, I wonder what those few small problems were? Maybe sucking too hard is one of them.Quote:
"I'm not happy because, this morning, at the end of free practice, I had hoped to make it through to Q2," Luca explained later. "Unfortunately, partly because of traffic and partly because of a few small problems, I didn't manage to put together a perfect lap.
Well, actually I somehow feel sorry for the guy. He never was an amazing talent, just an also-ran, and accepted the Ferrari test role, because he had nothing else. Coming back after spending quiet 10 years out of the spotlight, poor guy is getting butchered by the media and fans. Imagine what he must have dreamt the night he was given the news that he'll be stepping in for Massa. I'm sure he thought this was his golden chance to prove himself, until it all came crashing down in Valencia, and continues in Spa.
Well, tough life Mr. Badoer. Get ready to see even more of these things:

The press makes you slow? Wow that's a new one!
He really doesn't seem a bright person this BADoer. Save some dignity, if there is any left, Luca and let someone better, anyone really, have a go in that car. Qualifying dead last on merit (on real speed), twice, is something that should have never happened to Ferrari. You are disgracing the memory of Enzo. :\Quote:

They could have easily signed Bourdais or Piquet for the rest of the season, they are no promising young driver but certainly much much better than what Badoer managed to provide.Quote:

I am sure that, had he not taken these two race drives and then had his contribution to Ferrari's success insulted by a member of this forum for some reason, you would have defended him to the hilt.Quote:
