Ferrari Mailing List: Re: baku spoiler

[Peter Rychel (dino308gt4]

Deja vu all over again?

 

Wasn’t Ferrari the perpetual loser in the first turbo era?...

 

Or, better yet, at least there was a podium finish (this race. Podium finishes 3 out of 4 so far this season for the two of them. One who is still wet behind the ears and so far is sitting in 5^th place O/A in the championship). My memory is foggy but Ferrari might have forgotten to show up for most of the season during the ‘80s, they scored so poorly. With top-caliber drivers too.

 

In 20 to 25 years time, you folks may be savoring these results, while you’re watching Formula E!

I’m only watching because of Ferrari. Imagine all those Williams fans, McLaren fans, Lotus fans, etc. At least if they don’t win, they are always second (Constructor Championship). I also watch it for the technology. When you read books like Adrian Newey’s How to build a car or John Barnard’s The Perfect Car, even if you learn 20 or 25 years later what they saw and the others didn’t, those guys are/were amazing.

Maybe in 20-25 years from now, we will learn what Mercedes did. It does not make racing more exciting unfortunately.

Damn....  like I wrote it myself!!

I'd only add that mini displacement turbo hybrid motors suck too.

You have to watch LeMans to see real racing anymore.

F1 sucks!
But I do ‘record’ and watch.  Never live like the old days (and nights).

DRS sucks!
Really. Fake passing numbers for the record books/whatever audience. Somehow Bottas held on as I thought the Englishman was surely going to take it.

Street circuits suck!
Except Monaco for nostalgia. Too narrow. No passing except unusually long straits/DRS.

Ferrari strategy doesn’t suck.
It doesn’t exist! Binotto’s been choking since Australia trying to decide what to do but then figures waiting is better. Dope!

McLaren soon to be Mercedes competition while Ferrari fights Renault.

> I thought Binotto would make a difference. I was wrong. 5 years and nobody can touch them still. Unacceptable. Not only that, but both drivers are competitive against each other. They don’t even need to protect one to give more points to the other.
