Wirth1000 posted:Yes. Hell it already kind of happened in 2009.  The President’s message: “There are already signs of progress for 2018” Maranello – The Gestione Sportiva Christmas lunch with members of the media is a time for exchanging season’s greetings after a year spent together at the race tracks. Furthermore, it is an opportunity to look back at the key moments of what was an action packed championship. “Given where we started from last year, this season we have taken giant strides forward,” was president Sergio Marchionne’s overview. “Having said that, the second half of 2017 was…character building. We learned a lot over the past six months, trying to move forward and that’s the most important thing. From back in August of last year, when we overhauled the organisation, I totally believed that these guys, with Maurizio Arrivabene as team principal and Mattia Binotto heading up the technical side, would be capable of doing something amazing. We really believed we could do much more: but in 2017, we were unable to reach our objectives. That has also resulted in some changes to the organisation of the Gestione Sportiva. We can already see significant signs of change when it comes to the team’s production capacity. The important thing is to start 2018 with all this expertise and experience and to manage this organisation. I have no doubt that we will be competitive.” Naturally enough, the conversation moved on to the subject of the drivers: “Sebastian Vettel is a guy who studies a lot, studies himself and is committed, therefore, I think that we will see less of his emotive side. I think he has learned enough. Plus, there were plenty of opportunities for him to get annoyed, as he’s had a couple of rather difficult seasons, this year and the previous one. I continue to maintain we have an obligation towards these drivers, to give them a car with which they can race the others. I think we gave them a great car in 2017 and so, from now on, it’s down to him. As for Kimi Raikkonen, I believe he is really great, truly talented and I have never doubted his abilities. I tell you, he’s a really top guy, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken pole at a track like Monaco. I think Maurizio has done a great job with the drivers and that’s not an easy task.” Until we meet again on 22nd February, when we will reveal the car that will race in the 2018 world championship, happy holidays to you all.

The Tifosi wouldn't give a poo poo they just want to see Ferrari win that's it. They're all dumb as all hell and when FOTA did the split none of them gave a flying gently caress. To them it's the team and the best interests of the team not god drat loving F1 who even gives a poo poo about F1? loving lol if you think the tifosi would get mad if Ferrari actually split. Ferrari could announce they'd be going into Brazilian Stock Cars after quitting F1 and they'd follow them right there.

I love that they're still maintaining this stupid bluff, and committing to it 100%. This can go on indefinitely. "Oh, you don't think we'll leave? We will leave. And start our own series. The glory that is Scuderia Ferrari must shine brightly, or else we must go." El. Oh. El.

And while we're at it, there are systems for a reason in this world. Economic stability, interest rates, growth. It's not all a conspiracy to keep you in little boxes, alright? It's only the miracle of consumer capitalism that means you're not lying in your own poo poo, dying at 43 with rotten teeth. And a lovely engine with an Aston badge on it is not going to change that.

He basically admitted that if Renault just toned down the power a small amount they would have won the WDC, but then he followed it "Well I like to get the pole so I prefer the engines with the big power".
