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

[Rick Lindsay (rolindsay]

Morning Jim, et al.,

I won't comment on this morning's qualifying so there's no spoiler.

I think that Ferrari is suffering from;

1. The loss of Michael's from-the-car performance analysis work
   from which...

2. ...Ross Brawn could translate the words into technology...

3. ...and all of the the drivers could benefit, on track.

4. The other thing Ross contributed, and the impact of this was
   undervalued, is STRATEGY.

regards,

rick
