Isn't it a lifetime ban?

No use hiring him after the ban, if so.

Ferrari is not the same team it was back when Jean Todt was the boss, Stefano is a nobody. But hey Luca, you just keep hiring italians and things will only get better.
Because I despise Ferrari after their treatment of Schumacher, Todt and Raikkonen, I am taking massive enjoyment from this. All we need is Massa to leave Ferrari too and I wont have anything that I like about that team.

It was overturned, the ban is now only until 2013, sadly. However with a bit of luck maybe some Italian prosecutor gets him a fresh place soon.

I really hate to do this but you're not allowed to post here anymore. Read the first post. Please spit your venom somewhere else. Have a nice day.

If you do not know who TAD is you should not be on this forum. You are hereby sentenced to 1 week research of F1 - now get going and come back when you know

Ferrari do seem to be in a difficult place at the moment. Alonso is not too happy in the team and Massa similarly unsettled.

Whilst the electronics genius may help them out of a short term hole, they need stronger direction and leadership more than anything. I don't think Alonso is the second coming of Schumacher as some expected and will notbe able to unite the team.

Tamb has kindly posted a link above.

It would have been better if the initial reference to the chaps' name had not been in all uppercase, as TAD suggests initials for an organisation, whereas Tad suggests a persons name.

Alonso has no right to be unhappy. He should get on with the job.

First he needs to ask Renault to forward on his 6/10ths ASAP, then, being the self confessed master developer, he needs to get on with that in the simulator also.

Jees, some folk are never happy. Is Ferrari going to be another team he falls out with?

Maybe, but isn't Ferrari's current situation simply the way things work in F1? No team can dominate indefinately; no team ever has. While more recent Ferrari fans may have got used to their team dominating that period was always going to come to an end at some point.

Domenicali took over as Ferrari team principal in January 2008. Given that many elements of the "Dream Team" have gone, and bearing in mind that it took Ferrari six years to win their first title under the leadership of Jean Todt, Stefan deserves time.

Kicking him out now is what the 'old' Ferrari would have done.

No. That's common sense. We have no use of it here. We want to bitch, moan, criticize, insult... the armchair expert is a very demanding man. Nothing but perfection will satisfy him.
