What’s with the hate for one driver or another over there? I don’t get it. people hating someone whom they’ve never met and don’t know anything about (not really) based on usually inaccurate news reports and 10 second interviews? As for Massa, if it’s true that Alonso has a number 1 driver clause and if it’s true that Massa’s contract calls for him to never do anything that upsets Alonso (including overtaking him) then it’s got to be pretty hard to be motivated. He certainly came into his own when he found himself beating Kimi, but otherwise, he’s always played second fiddle. From: Scott Saidel [mailto:Ferrarisimo [at] comcast.net]

Subject: [Ferrari] THE RUES There is another rule or two - Do not - for fear of you life - repeat the "its a Ferrari not a Porche (porch)" joke nor the "my suspenders are caught on your side view mirror joke." Don't believe that cLyDe really exists as more than a figment of SteveJ's imagination. and, finally, bleed Tifosi Red! P.S. Anyone else monitoring the Massa must go thread in FerrariChat / Racing? Damn it is getting hot in there. I for one am in agreement that he never REALLY came back after the "spring in the head" incident - but people are getting pretty darn intolerant over there! Whew, hope I never make it to the second seat, have a life threatening accident, come back to drive, and am just a hair off the pace … I stand to be corrected on this but I think that the accepted Spoiler rule is not to mention race results in the subject headline until one week after the event. This may seem extreme but certainly provides a big cushion for those who record the race for later. Personally, I think anything longer than a couple of days is adequate but I think the list rule is one week. Hi Mike,
You may have only replied to me, rather than the whole list. So, anyway,
welcome to the list. Hope you enjoy it here.
No, there are no specific rules here other than good web etiquette and being
tolerant and understanding. We are an ecclectic mob spread across the world
drawn together by our common passion or involvement in Ferrari in one way or
another.
The race Spoiler thing is because some of us, when the local timing of a
race is out of our normal body clock's acceptable time range, record the
race and watch later in a pseudo-live experience because we want to feel
that "what happen(s/ed) next" adrenalin rush!! I used to do that and I
really enjoyed doing it that way but now I get greater enjoyment out of
watching the races live whenever they happen and catching up with the other
bits of my life later, like sleep! ;)
Cheers,
Grahame

Hi gang! I'm a newbie as well. Is there a list of rules somewhere on the
site? I don't want to get crucified like you did to this poor guy today. I
actually appreciated the note since my DVR cut off an hour short of the
finish (by then ALO was leading) and I just wanted to find out who won. I'd
heard this was a great site for Ferrari tifosi; hope that is true.
Hans, if you are using email for your job, you may want to buy a phone with
spelling and grammar correction ;o).
Anyway, where are the rules?
Mike
