There is literally no eventuality in which Ferrari would actually leave F1. They are 100% bluffing and no intelligent person would ever take their obviously empty threats seriously.

I think what would actually make them leave is if people stopped taking their threats seriously because they could deal with getting a worse deal but they could never deal with not being treated like a big deal

Rename the series Ferrari 1 and take away their extra money

If they lose the ability to finance their program with the proceeds from F1 and make a profit they'll leave. We have this discussion every 3 months lol.

Ferrari built F1 into the greatest sport ever and have to deal with fans of British autist teams that haven't won anything since the 90s making a mockery of everything. No good deed goes unpunished.

I mostly do my solo meltdowns in my favourite email client....I write them out, drink a glass of wine with steam coming out of my ears, then read them through again, click "close", "don't save" and start reading f1technical or somethingawful.

People say I'm a nice person.

It's rather easy, I guess.

my other genetic defect makes me buy half of the cylinders my previous car had. I went from 12 to 6 to 3. I still have all three cars, though.

My doctor says it can't be cured.

Some call this an affliction. Others call it experience. 8 cylinders of fury is great until it goes catastrophically wrong. I can only imagine the butt hurt when 12 of them are shagged.
