• Sooo... How 'bout that Red team . Are there any other tifosi here ?

There are many of them!

Check out the posts by Jim Watt!

It might be just that the Ferrari fans are a tad quiet nowadays thanks to the performance of the McL duo.

Possibly facing another 19 year drought

Dzu-Fast wrote:Yeah , you've got to wonder what the internal morale is at Ferrari right now . They need some good news for a change . I wonder if there are others on the team that are worried a bit , whether they should be or not , especially if they had much interaction with Stepney.

- Montezmolo shafting Todt over 2007 driver lineup
- being fooled into thinking they were still going to dominate after Melbourne
- no Schumi
- no Ross Brawn
- Massa made to look silly at Malaysia
- Kimi's failure to qualify and finish well
- no North American comeback after Monaco
- season nearly half gone
- white powder in the fuel tanks
- police action againsty high profile employe

Its starting to stack up. They wont give up, but at some stage they are going to start focusing on next years car, I wonder how soon that will be. If they are not competitive in the next two races I would say the season is over.

• Here's hoping Ross will be back next year and all this silliness will be over .

• Massa is still close enough in the WDC chase , but the WCC ain't looking to good . They've been pretty good at France the last few years . Maybe a good place for a turn around . We can hope , anyway .

Ferrari seem to be bouncing back. Wonder how long it'll last...

Now that the wind tunnel is running again, who knows?

Wouldn't it be better to join this thread with the Ferrari investigation thread?

Yes

No . There can never be enough Ferrari threads .

I think the issues with Ferrari have been discussed ad nauseam...

We were going to just add the McLaren statement to this thread however this thread is more about the performance of the Ferrari cars and we expect the investigation to take a long time and to have more twists hence it's separate thread.

We will move some of the posts from this thread that relate to Nigel Stepney over to that thread.

• Even as a Tifoso I have to agree , my statement was made in jest .

• But it seems to be the topic most want to discuss , on either side really . Just about any topic will drift that way eventually , from my experience on other boards , can't speak for this one .

• But if I only wanted to talk about Ferrari , I'd stick to one of the many boards commited to them only .

Ferrari will probably always be discussed in some manner.

I'd rather discuss one if it's sitting in my garage
