Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F1 Farewell by ITV 12 years in 4 minutes

[LarryT (l02turner]

Hi Britt - 
The video was so uplifting - seeing MS's enthusiasm and emotion was so 
refreshing as you touched on.  Agree about wanting Massa to have won - for some 
reason I just can't warm up to Hamilton - he seems like a great guy - really 
friendly, etc but I felt someone else should have won.   Perhaps it was because 
he won so much so early in his F1 career?  Maybe I think he should "pay more 
dues" ?  Can't really explain it - 

Shame about the BMW - having a 20-30 yr old Ferrari  run up into 4 & 5K rpm and 
it holds together - while the BMW comes apart so young - seems totally wrong - 

Take care - 

Sincerely,
Larry T  (74 911, 91 300D 2.5T)

  I know I posted this link yesterday but just watched it again because I 
needed a smile.

  ITV was brilliant with coverage.

  Finns have no emotions and look like silly robots pumping their arms when 
they win

  I wish Massa won but Hamilton earned it over the season

  Ferrari lost it not in Brazil but with fuel hose stupidness and an inability 
to drive in the rain (Silverstone)

  Lastly I hate BMW. My 56k mile 5 series just ingested part of the intake 
manifold for no reason and just munched £5000.00 of engine 10 months out of 
warrenty. Why oh why.....

  (I never had a Ferrari engine do this to me and ran them to much higher miles 
and they were a lot older)

  Sob......
