Seems like a good sign to me. Todt will actually let his drivers race each other.

Maybe this team is turning for the better of the sport.

Nothing new there.

They always allowed drivers to battle it out as long as that didn't obstruct winning the titles.

Maybe, although I read it as being a case of "you two race until we say you don't".......which is just the same as before and just the same as any other team.

But congratulations on your first attempt at a bash of the new year, even if there is no substance to it.

lol... a bash hey!

I was actually applauding it. But anyway!

I read into it that Todt would allow them to race as long as they didn't take points away from Ferrari.

And I would say that has been exactly the same as in previous seasons.

really? History says otherwise.

you would even say that with a Ferrari 1-2 or a Ferrari 2-1, ala Austria and USA?

Which ever driver has the ascendency by the end of the first quarter will become the focus for the championship. Unless ofcourse, they are first and second and nobody else is close. Then I expect they will battle it out.

Neither driver has earned No. 1 status. Schumi did by winning 2 world titles before joining the team. McLaren are in exactly the same boat that Ferrari were in in '96. Alonso has earnt No. 1 status and will get it, no matter whar Ol' Ron says.

So I'd say it's business as usual at Maranello. They're just waiting to see who grabs the No.1 spot. The expectation is probably for Raikkonen to ascend to that position but I don't think it will be easy for him, especially if Massa keeps improving the way he has.

Austria I will give you as that was obviously team orders. But the US one was a stuff-up on Schumi's part. It had nothing to do with the team. The title was already won, anyway.

This is as it has always been. You distorted the story by making up your own story heading instead of the author's, which is "Todt wants driver rivalry at Ferrari."
