Ferrari's main problem is that they've forgotten how to cheat. McLaren, then Brawn, then Red Bull and now Mercedes. They've all bent the rules and/or broken them to their advantage whilst Ferrari have kept their noses clean.

Ferrari used to be a disgrace because of their cheating and whining. Now they are just a disgrace because they are poo poo.

Pretty much, Kimi's WDC was the last of their cheating that worked

Another key point: It's Stefano

e: Oh, and VW won't go near F1 with Bernie still in charge - I don't blame 'em

or Ferdinand Piech in charge of VAG, never seen Bernie lose tbh

A proper Porsche factory effort again would be really cool.

This, because it would be a far greater name in the sport than Audi (going by 80's Ferrari vs Porsche teenage boy fandom)

What? He had a few good drives for FIndia and then McLaren picked up up and them promptly dropped him because he's poo poo. I don't think Ferrari was even interested.

He drove for the Ferrari engined Sauber then

Have of taste of Joe Saward's premium GP+ magazine/pdf he throws together with some other hacks: https://joesaward.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/gp159abdab14.pdf

I think Hamilton's dog could have done a better job of the layout than that

It's great until you get to his God phase

Nothing wrong with McLarens livery, looks ok, you haters need to stop jumping on a bandwagon... would be funny though if Ron hired Alonso just to gently caress him over

These new swooping noses are going to be great at launching cars.
It looks like sky f1 has half an hour each night for the tests starting Sunday at 9pm.

It's usually 15 mins of cars and 15 mins of Ted's notebook

Remember when Brawn 'sandbagged'

Can't remember but I think Wicka or FagboyJim said the best thing this season was if Button won, I think that would be funny as gently caress

Button or Raikkonen WDC would be the only things better than Alonso winning it.

Only if McLaren gently caress up the final pit stop

Sandbagging went as soon as the regs got tight... and no private testing, you do actually need the run time now, though I doubt any secret aero would be revealed till Aussie GP

I hated Hamilton.. now I think he's ok, I hated Schumacher, yet liked his comeback, Vettle did it the wrong way round

I like Japanese watches but Casios are, uh, divisive looking

and honestly if I wanted a more traditional looking Japanese watch I'd get a Seiko

Pretty much, my second watch is a Seiko

Is it possible that this is a massive overreaction by the Spanish medical staff, media and marshals? I mean, could we have expected the same thing if this was a test held in Stevenedge and the driver was Hamilton in a Spanish-run team (however unlikely)

It's Alonso knowing the car's poo poo to get out of this year... he can't help screwing Ron over

Right riso you get force India! Different enough to annoy but with so much mclaren crossover it's repetitive.

I reckon Alonso's will be short. Died on preseason see worst thread for details.

Farce India... there's a lot of comedy source to do a good writeup

Argh they've changed the one really useful bit of F1.com where it shows you all the coming race weekend's session times and you can click a button to switch between your time zone and track time zone. Now it's a rolex branded clock face that gives you the current time where you are and the current time at the track.

I was pissed they did that too
