Forget about Kimi and Ferrari, he'll never drive for Ferrari again.

And how does this affect the design office, R&D which I find more worrying ATM in time.

Same as the rest of the team, none of them has the needed inspiration, they just copy what they see that works for the faster teams. :\

It's still quite interesting that in 07-09 Ferrari's aero was usually better than McLaren's, but Ferrari's politics needed a scapegoat and they found Iley for that. McLaren was happy to take him and now McLaren's aero efficiency gradually seems to be rising above Ferrari's.

Iley's only fault is that he is not an Italian otherwise he would have kept his place and Ferrari would have been doing fine. :D

True, I actually commented on that at the time and wondered about the wisdom of sacking the guy but was immediately put down by a certain corner at Imola. :rolleyes:

All this talk of 'fault' for getting 'rid' of people, why?

People move on - that's life. You have to plan waaay in advance for the eventuality that a key member of your team will one day leave.

Once Iley's replacements find their feet, as with Stefano and the like, the team will gel and the results will follow as a result.

Time, it al takes time.

Remember, patience is not only something doctors look after, but it is also a virtue....... ;)

I totally agree and also I would like to ask to those who criticizes Luca for his choices : What's wrong in being italian, being in charge of Italy's most famous make, and trying to win somenthing with italian staff only ? Do you guys have any idea how proud all italians would be to see Ferrari winning without any help from outside Italy ? That's what Luca's trying to do at the moment, all italian tifosi supports him 100%. and they really don't care about what other "tifosi" thinks.
