Ferrari Mailing List: Re: *** SPOILER *** Chinese GP Result and Report ***SPOILER ***

[Grahame Reinthal (grahame]

Graham asked: "Can we get a point in the next race?"

Good question, Graham, but do we really care?  Ferrari F1 racing has
certainly lost the plot a bit but does it really matter?  They are now like
comedy relief - bring on the clowns of the circus - what silly thing can
they dream up to do next?  The best was the Kimi tyre choice in Malaysia -
talk about a laugh!!!

However, what is great is that the racing has been interesting. It is no
longer a procession from the start to the pit stops, with an occasional
change of order at that point and then a second procession from there,
usually with no change of order to the finish. How often in recent years did
a race fall out pretty much in the order of qualifying for the major places?
Why bother racing?  Why bother watching?

This year - witness genuine overtaking! And re-overtaking! And then
capturing back the position yet again! Best we have seen in years. And some
really gifted wet weather driving, too - marvellous.  Maybe it's all not
quite in the same league as the Villeneuve (Gilles) and Rene Arnoux battles,
but its lots of fun nonetheless.

Enjoy the season, I say, and laugh along with the comics!

Cheers,
Grahame (different spelling)
