Not good enough for either, really, especially considering they were the only consistent KERS users.
One started the season with a dismal car and, to their credit improved it massively; the other was unlucky to lose a driver to injury but can only blame themselves for poor contingency planning.
You have to credit Brawn and Red Bull for doing a sterling job, but the two Big Boys need to pull their socks up for 2010.
agreed Dave. at least Macca beat ferrari for the first time since 2005-so there is something for macca fans to be happy about! (although if Massa had been there we would have had a very different story)
That pretty much sums up Ferrari's dismal season.
When Kovalainen moves from the back row to beating Kimi, you know just how bad the Ferrari is.
And Mercedes teams are first and third!
True, and when was the last time the other Ferrari scored points? It was before Massa's accident. Dysmal year.Quote:

They'll both be right at the front next year, no doubt. Hopefully though it won't just be back to McLaren v Ferrari, I'd love to see Brawn, Red Bull (and Williams :) ) fighting for wins!
Besides the loss of Massa, the cock-ups in the beginning of the season are what probably have cost Ferrari that P3.
Ferrari did very little to develop this year's car over the summer and their main efforts were on next year.
