I didn't say I only started to watch F1 last year. Just that I only started watching it religiously since last year.

Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

Mind you, the thought of a "very personal" relationship with Max makes me shudder!!

9th September 2008, 18:13 #23GuestSo why did it take 21 years for a Ferrari driver to win the championship?

9th September 2008, 18:42 #24GuestThat's as much Ron Dennis's fault as anybody elses.

David Coulthard - "The door opened and Ron walked in. I stood up to shake his hand and Ron ignored me. Instead he strode over to sit next to Mika and said, 'What's the plan (for the race), guys?' We all listened to Mika's plans and then Ron said, 'OK, what are they doing?. Here was my team principal talking about me as if I was a rival team. 'They' is not a word you use in a team situation, surely? At that exact moment, I think the naivety, the innocence of my youth, shattered around me"

Thing is, I read your post and agree with everything.
However, I then realised that I've been 'on a high' so far this week due to Heidfeld's podium, was in a depressing mood as Petter failed in the WRC in Spring, and still feel good over Fulham's ridiclous escape from relegation last season.
So to me, sport is as, if not the most impotant thing in my life. Sad I know, but true...

Here's the gist. Heidfeld's career is in the closing chapters and Petter will never achieve anything near 1st place (unless the leaders all fall off pace in a sudden manner) with that pig of a Subaru.
There's more to life than cars.

So, you don't see that it wrong for the president of the FIA to admit that Ferrari are the most important tem in F1 and his relationship with Luca is very personal.

Well, he was stating the truth. Is that a crime?
