Yeah but those 0.5 seconds wouldn't have changed the world.
I still prefer 8 points achieved calmly to 0 points lost through panic. Especially nowadays when consistency wins a championship, not winning at all costs.

Short translation :

We just had a bad day, but we have the best car, Massa's the best driver at the moment, and I expect Kimi in the last 3 races to shows he's the World Champ. We can still make it, our mechanics are amazing, they can make a mistake too but I am sure they will do a great job in the next races. From now on everyone will work for the same target so at the moment Kimi's our 2nd driver and I expect a 1-2 in the next 3 races...

That's the official version of the story. I bet the version he used at the Ferrari HQs was a very different one.

Ferrari's:

Refuelling rig
Kimi's Tyres

McLarens:

Pit lane Crash
Using the wrong tyres in Italy

FIA's:

Not giving Massa a Drive through
Giving Lewis a 25sec penalty

There we go, there's a start.

lol sorry I should have been clearer, the 10 errors which Ferrari alone have made this year.

Apparently Ferrari use to make 10 errors over 5 years, but since SD has taken over, its 10 per season.

:confused: Who would claim something like that?

;) Ahhhh, someone's who's posts I can't see ;)

(Now you know why)

It is true that Ferrari have made some cock-ups this year as have McLaren but it's a bit rough to blame SD for it all.

After all, there are always going to be mistakes, errors or bad judgement calls but generally they become apparent with the benefit of hindsight.

No he didn't praise them, he just told them to carry on the good work, because thanks to them Ferrari still have the best car, game isn't over yet and they can still win both titles. Plenty of time in the winter-break to find out who and what to blame in case Ferrari will fail...
