Ahhh shucks George - ya mean a racing driver career isn't
all fun? ah ah ah
Back room deals, hidden agendas, "the old Bro" net work,
my Rabbi is stronger than your Rabbi games - ? Similar to other careers I
guess - as I was discussing with Freeman Thomas, ney Audi TT, New Bug, Chrysler
new muscle and now back with pal J May at Ford - we shall see what transpires
from Ford - - - um, I digress, um, Freeman responded to my comment that it must
be a ball being a car designer - sez he "show a project to the wrong person and
you may get fired on the spot." Oh, by the way - we DO want you to be
creative and be a risk taker - - - - ayieeeee

Vol 44, Issue 29
There were a couple of interesting articles in a magazine
called "Business F1" (or "F1 Business"??) about MS' "retirement". There
were very many behind the scenes powerplays going on in order to get Kimi into
a Ferrari. MS got the short end of the stick. If you can, rewatch
the end of the '06 Monza race when MS announced his "retirement" - note the
body language when Montezemolo hugged MS in parc ferme. MS has a look on
his face as if to say, "Get the H*** away from me!" Painfully
obvious, in hindsight. And frankly, given all that happened, I'm
somewhat stunned at MS' loyalty to the team during his "off years". Were
I in his shoes, I'd have told them, "You want me out? Then release me
from my contract (and pay me handsomely for it!)." But that's
just me.
That, and my huge respect for Brawn (not to mention
he and I share the same birthday!) is why I would like to see MS/RB kick
Ferrari's butt this year. Well, that and Ferrari having hired FA
(but that's a whole other dead horse).
