Does Winning make you want to buy the car *poss spoiler*

Win on Sunday, buy on Monday.

Why would anyone want anything else than a Ferrari?

Silly, just silly to think otherwise.

 

i think i'm too young and too poor to afford a Ferrari now.

Pap promised me he'll subscribe for me by year's end. he also promised me his 348 soon

 

LoL. thanks for the kind words.

btws, Steve, which part of the UK are u at?

 

I think its odd that some relate the charisma of the car they drive to a Formula One car's results on the track. But Ferrari has the most successful brand name in Automobiles if not produced products on this planet. They must understand human nature better than me.

 

cool. i have an aunt in Essex, and an uncle in London itself. i'm actually planning to settle down in the UK once my studies are done. still got some time tho

 

I can't afford a Ferrari machine, but this championship certainly gives my current efforts to get "there" a major kick in the bottom.

 

I wouldn't drive a Ferrari and a Toyota if they wouldn't compete in F1. Simple as that.

 

I watch Formula 1 because I own a Ferrari. If I didn't own a Ferrari, there's no way I'd waste time on an open-wheel parade

 

I think purchasing a Ferrari is independent of Ferrari winning championships. Ferrari road cars have their own appeal, their beauty is very alluring. Winning chapionships sure helps with the preceived value of the company and the car. It's like a home team winning a championship if you live in that town, it may make you go buy a cap or shirt

 

I have some TIVO of the Honda blowing up in Brazil...(in excellent style, BTW), I am going to keep playing it for my oriental GF many many times, every time she gives me the "Ferrari is not reliable like Honda" line...

Forza Ferrari - again!

 

Perhaps you could compromise on a Mercedes? I saw that their "fail-safe" gearshift system saved Hammy a point or two -

'Engineered like no other car' -

Indeed.

 

LOL!

I have to admit, it recharged my love for the cars. Can't explain it, but that was just a huge race to me. I think I am becoming a true tifosi (irrational thoughts driven by inexplicable love for a car manufacturer).

 

For many, a race winning brand plays on ones vanity when considering a road car.


Just imagine how many more Spykers would be sold if they stated winning races.

 

You mean like Lamborghini or Koenigseg?

But then, Spyker can't state a winning race until they actually win one.

 

Spyker have differnt worries right now. Like survival.

 

Not winning so much as trying. But the man who built my cars died almost 20 years ago. I dont think he will be winning anymore F1 races, so no, its not important to me wanting the car.

 

The road cars are so different from the F1 cars it doesn't factor in for me at all.

I could see if it was the 360 races or whatnot but not F1.

 

No . I would still want one no matter whether they won or lost.

Judging by the waiting lists for new Ferraris here in the US many people don't care about winning either.
