LUCA, WHAT THE "F" !!!!!!????? He must have pictures of Luca Cordero di Montezemolo getting freaky with Max Mosley's girls...This is the only driver that could actualy make an american driver in F1 look good. I'm so sorry to be mean but, STEP ON THE LONG SKINNY PEDAL ! PLEASE!!!!!!!! This is painful to watch.
I disagree. It is one of the hottest topics in the press and so it deserves its place on here as well. I no longer understand the rationale of LdM with using BADoer at Spa. While Valencia could be regarded as payback for a loyal test driver, now it is starting to become so embarrassing, that whatever little reputation BADoer had, will be ruined for good. I also start to see a change in attitude with the press: They start to just feel empathy for the poor guy. I wonder what LdM's excuses will be if somebody gets hurt in all of this. Luca had a terrible accident at Spa 17 years ago. It could happen again.
Exactly. He might even loose his role as test driver after this debacle. What good is feedback from a driver 2 seconds off the potential of the car? Might as well use Luigi to do the job.
Okay, thanks - just questioning since there are three others with virtually the same tones. Perhaps Milka Duno would be a better temporary fill-in, besides she brings mega dollars from Venezuelan oil - Ferrari could apply it to next year's endavour.

The last couple of road courses have been downright embarrassing. The last two drivers in the field have been ---- Danica and Milka. If she can't keep up with Marco, I'm not all that sure she'd be faster than Luca.
If LucaB was on 2 wheels [MotoGP] his name would be nicky hayden [NOT worthy of CapitalLetters] Wasted a total year on a Championship winning Ducati bike, gets WORSE, other than Pedrosa all the top-gun riders have seats for next year, Ducati have bet the farm on Casey and he *may* not be able to race 100% again. They are actually in a worse position than Ferrari for 2010... Must be a Italian theme, picking dunce pilots.....
All these Luca Badoer bashing threads are really getting boring..............seriously. Yes, he's not up to par, etc. But what's he gonna do? turn down a job to drive for Ferrari? It's the management decision t run him. Period. So, i think if u guys wanna bash, bash the Ferrari management, and not badoer.
Ok with that, the guy is not to blame but the team is. Since last year ferrari seems to take a lot of bad decisions...
If LDM walks up to you and says "I want YOU to drive". It wouldn't matter that you had no right leg you would jump at the chance. I agree on two points 1. Ferrari have made some bad decissions lately. 2. Too many kick Luca threads
I will never be able to take a driver seriously who's called like a chocolate brand Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hayden is there only because he was available and sells bikes in the USA, so who cares if he doesn´t deliver, their man is Stoner. OK, he got ill, that´s bad luck. BTW, I´ll insist: MERGE this thread.
Was my first thought as well love that choc! But I have to say given the choice between the two the top heavy ballast on show wins hands down.. phew!!
Can we look at this without empathy for the guy...YES I would jump on to a lawn mower if someone offered a race seat...but I wouldn't be last! and yes Ferrari has made some bad choices over the past few months...BUT if ferrari were to go to GP2, this guy would still be last. Ferrari has had their time for the noble deed, now let's move on, it is very uncomfortable to watch! I would be willing to bet you could take almost any GP2 driver at this point and even without testing, they would be faster then Luca. The time has come to replace him...DO IT ALREADY!
