Ferrari Mailing List: MASSA-ALONSO

[dale sailors (sailorsdaleedward]

Hello,
      The Massa-Alonso episode in Germany still disturbs me.
      I realise a lot of things compel Massa to toe the company line not the 
lease of which are money, his F1 ride at Ferrari, etc but I think Ferrari looks 
like a joke having to structure championships. I realise this has hapened a lot 
in the past with many brands of car. I think if the two existing drivers can't 
win, get more talent and/or improve the cars.
This "winning is everything and damn the rules" attitude is reflected in the 
various one make race series. Or manufacturing race type cars only suiable to 
race against themselves.No risk of losing to another manufacturer there of 
course. Quite a few brands of F1 cars and their drivers compete ith little or 
no chance of routine victory. They are the real competitors. Occassionally from 
such circumstances talent prevails like Tazio Nuvolari in his Alfa at the'Ring 
long ago.  Not some person the race team management hands the victories to.
      Just my thoughts
