Luca Badoer Finally Gets Ferrari Drive

My opinion:
Badoer must thanks Ferrari for the opportunity they gave him and stop running
for his own good but and for us... ;)

Sorry, ioan, but something tells me that they (LdM, Domenicali, et al) will keep him for Monza and afterwards announce the change of driver at the start of the week post-race. He doesn't want to lose image in front of the tifosi, muchales the italian people, that he tries so hard to curry favor from.

So, expect Kimi to 'carry the water' for Ferrari for one more race. From the looks of things, he won't have much help out there on track.

100% sure he is changed (if you understand italian you can read here in the "Badoer SV" (no vote) comment http://www.sportmediaset.it/formula1...olo26173.shtml

The only doubt is who (Fisi ? Trulli ? Alonso ? or.. ?)

I would like to have Loeb LOL (won't do worse than BADoer, that's sure ! He has arrived last... so ... the french will at least equal him xD !).

What I find really interesting is the fact that he has absolutely no problem... no embarrassment... :laugh: He could go on like this for the entire season. After these 2 races I would go live in the mountains for 2 years, he's upset that 90% of the things the media wrote are bad things :laugh: . My life would be so beautiful with such a lack of self-consciousness :laugh: . It must be bliss being Luca Badoer.

You just got paid today? ;)

As long as Ferrari can accept the excuse for his performance, Luca is entitled to get going with the job.

There is no excuse for such a crap performance.

Indeed.....crashing out under pressure you coudl maybe understand after years of not racing but to be so slow in qualifying and races at two entirely different types of track shows he's not up to the job.

Good for Ferrari for giving him a shot but he's not up to it and they need to cement third in the constructors ahead of Mac. That will be hard with only Kimi vs Hamilton and Kovi so get Fisi in ASAP to at leats be courteous enough to give FI enough time to make a decision on whether to use Luizzi or somone else.

Indeed. He is terrified of the car. He won't brake late enough or hard enough to throw it at the corner and generate some tire heat to give him some confidence. So he just slithers around on cold rubber wondering why the pace car is wandering off into the distance.

According to the same website, Kubica should get the drive ... http://www.sportmediaset.it/formula1...olo26217.shtml

Force India doesn't want to give Fisi (so they'll give Ferrari money as they still have debts xD !)
