He just keeps digging that hole alone for no apparent reason. Even Lewis Hamilton's comments in his rookie year look mature in comparison with what Badoer spouts.Quote:

BMS Lola -> Minardi -> Forti -> out of drive -> Minardi -> 10 year absense -> Ferrari :mark:
Recipe for disaster in retrospect.
Badeor's latest comments eradicate what little empathy anyone had for him. I hope he only tells his kids about his drives at Ferrari and doesn't show them the embarrassing videos. And for their sake I hope they don't go to a maranello local school as they would be surely the subject of taunts.
I can't see what everyone is so hot under the collar about :confused:
There is a good chance that the press did hasten his depart because he was too slow. OK, he might be deluding himself a bit but you hardly expect him to stand up and say he was crap. After all, he cut the gap from 3 or 4 seconds to Kimi when he started to <1.5 in the last qualify session.
As for the rest of the statement, it' svery frank and honest. Fisi is a quicker driver than him and he admits it and wishes Fisi well.
If that's a lack of dignity ioan then you could do with learning from it ;)
Well done Luca. You had your dream and I hope you remember with fondness those 2 drives when you tell your Grandchildren about them.
Excellent.Quote:

IMO there is a time in life when one should be mature enough to say : 'No thanks, I tried but I'm not good enough, just give someone else a chance.'
I believe that Ferrari's finishing place in the Constructors' Championship was a far bigger factor than anything the press might have written. Pride, and the small matter of several million Euros, rest on the outcome.Quote:
