Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Little F1 Talk?

[LarryT (l02turner]

Hi Bubba,
While I admire Sir Frank's humble beginnings buying and selling F1 parts along 
pitlane to slowly build a team from nothing, I guess I will always shake my 
head in disbelief when he fired Damon Hill after he clinched the F1 Drivers 
Championship - some say even before.  


But <<poor old cripple>>  LOL!  That's like calling Frank & Jesse James 
disgruntled bank customers!  ;-)

BTW, finally watched most of the movie "Cars" thru On Demand and really liked 
the Ferrari fan character!  Great personality and accent. ;-)

Have a nice week -

  Hey Larry: Ethics in F1? Don't make me laugh! I'm shocked and saddened to see 
you pick on a poor old cripple in a wheelchair when ethics wise, he's no better 
or worse than most, if not all of the other teams. Whatever his shortcomings 
may be, he started out as a one car privateer on a shoestring with Piers 
Courage as his driver. When Courage was killed, he had to start all over again. 
My Kudos to (Sir) Frank. And speaking of ethics (ego?) Remember the time in 
March, 1957 when Maserati broke Ferrari's unoficial lap record at Modena and 
Enzo, in a fit, called Eugenio Castellotti back from holiday to defend 
Ferrari's honor by regaining the record. The cost? Castellotti's life.

  Yer Tifosi pal, Bubba

Hi Rui,
    I'm not one of alonso's fan's either.  Given his ethics I thought he 
might end up with Frank Williams - they seem to have a lot in common 
ethics-wise.
