Ferrari are doomed as I se it. Only copying other teams, nothing new of their own. Alonso bar the Santander money is no Kimi.

What about the mechanics then. By your logic/definition, if they employ crappy mechanics, you will support the team, but not the mechanics?

Same can be asked of the engineers, owners, and the guys that mow the lawn. "I support the Team, but not those crappy drivers, mechanics, engineers, support staff......"

My definition would include all of them as part of the team. A team is like a body, it may have stronger & weaker parts but you accept it (and it works best) as a whole. You don't gouge out your eyes if they are weak - you get glasses.

Looks like your definition could exclude any part - if for some reason you disapprove of it.

Sounds to me as if you're a fan of a big shiny red building, and nothing more.

Drivers come and go (mechanics, managers etc included) but Ferrari remains.

:confused: But aren't they "PART" of the team while they're there? So, what you're saying is that if a "crappy" driver wins the championship for Ferrari, you won't be as happy for them as when let's say your favorite driver wins the championship? So, then if your loyalties dwindle because of the drivers, then are you really supporting the team?

It's funny how sometimes Schumacher fans call themselves Ferrari fans or "Tifosi" while he's there and jump ship as soon as he leaves or is driving for another team. The man-love for him displayed by some on this forum is truly amazing.

There wasn't anything wrong with the drivers last year...I see a pattern here.

Yes, drivers, mechanics etc all form part of the greater whole of the team, but I support the Ferrari name/brand, not individuals. The team is broken up whenever there is a personnel position change, be it driver or behind the scene's personnel. I support the Ferrari brand, which never changes :)

No, he has two championships instead of one.
