    Hey,

    Just posted at Autosport:

    Fall guy? Was it all his fault?

    My guess is he'll show up with one of the minnows.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    I never quite got that 'gardening leave' thing. Well, I do get it but what if he doesn't have a garden

    My guess is that he was blamed for the wind tunnel fiasco early in the season. That is now history, luckily.

    In the words of Harry Truman, " the buck stops here". Should be Montezemelo that goes, he is known to totally defeat the morale at Ferrari.

    Todt did not like Luca, Micheal did not like Luca, few at Ferrari like Luca. I do not like Luca. No reason to like Luca. He hired Alonso for the money that Santander gave Ferrari, not because Alonso was good for Ferrari. Luca is no longer good for Ferrari.

    Well, I dont know but aside from the 2007 & 2008 cars, the rest of the Ferraris have been struggling this past few years.

    To be fair, they've been starting out the seasons slow but always manage to catch right on up and contend for the title. This year might be an exception though.

    Well, yes, mostly due to the mistakes/fall of other teams.

    But not convincing enough. I'm tired of all the 'next season' excuses. Thank God the scuderia won last weekend.

    Too bad Domencalli is not in his 'garden' either. He needs to go and soon. Pitwall mistakes are just as costly as wind tunnel mis calibrations.

    + a million

    What ever happened to those rumors about Briatore? Would have been a much better man at the pitwall.
