Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari and F1 in 2010 (Warning FC

[JIM WILCOX (jimshadow]

Rick,
 
How dare you introduce Ferrari content on a Ferrari related List.   What are 
you thinking Man!???    :)    
 
So are you thinking that the 'dumbing down' of F1 has caught the very forward, 
technologically leading Ferrari team off guard?    That they have become stuck 
midpack as a result of some of the goofy F1 changes?    
I would agree,however, I'm astonished that Ferrari has not caught up yet.   
There have been seasons in the past where Ferrari may be behind in terms of a 
technology that another team has beat them to the punch on, but its only a week 
or two before they are better, badder, stronger with their own version.  I have 
a hard time believing that this was all Ross Brawn....they have had an 
incredible all around team.  This week in and week out of piss poor performance 
is HORRIBLE to watch.    The only good thing about F1 for me is that I'm also a 
big fan of the Underdog, and that team for me was Brawn.   Its very obvious 
what he brought to Ferraris table and now that he's cut loose, he has "brought 
it!"   
 
Just some thoughts...
 
JIM

Hello Friends,

Sorry to introduce Ferrari content on the List.  :-P

With all the stress of Ferrari's pathetic performance this year, combined with 
an economy in the toilet and a controversial US administration, we find 
ourselves scrapping over political and even more trivial issues,  rather than 
sticking to posts about our beloved marque and F1.  And I'm probably as bad as 
anyone else when it comes to these asides.  For that I apologize.

So what is the general opinion here regarding Ferrari and the 2010 F1 season?  
I just read all the news available on Pitpass and F1-Live, then went to the 
official F1 page (where basically nothing is exposed) - and I still don't know 
anything more than that two immensely powerful groups are rattling swords and 
are posturing boldly.

I know F1 is a business - a circus, if you will - and as such, profit comes 
above all else.  But I can't help but believe that this 'dumbing down' of F1 is 
counter to all that we hold sacred about F1 in general and the Ferrari F1 team 
specifically.  Still, that is just my wildly uninformed opinion.  I'd certainly 
like to hear how you folks feel about this.

regards,

Rick-the-curmudgeon
