    I'm thinking of inventing a new product, "1000 flushes red", because I'm tired of all the chicks keep asking why only "Ferrari Marlboro Formula One" is backgrounded in blue and and not Scuderia, and why it's blue at all.

    Owwwww

    As a life long Red Sox fan I'm used to backing a team that doesn't always win:)
    In fact when the Scuderia wins too often I feel a bit too much like a Yankee fan.

    If you only like a team because it wins constantly, you aren't a true fan and please hop off the bandwagon.

    I have missed the first two races because F1 changed channel here in DK, from a free to a pay one. Grrrrrrrrr

    I have followed F1 since 1981 and not missed more than 10-15 races since 1987.

    So I had to spill the money to get F1 and Ferrari again :D

    But they really should get their act together from what I have read.

    I started to be an Ferrari F1 Team supporter since Berger and Alesi were racing in their understeering cars (so I would say yes to me sticking with the team). Then, I became a huge supporter when I was with a company who became the team's technical partner/sponsor. However, having dealt with Ross Brawn when I was in the motorsports business, I have utmost respect for what he has consistently accomplished. Therefore, I found myself happy for Brawn GP as well. Big fan of Ross, but not necessarily Rubens and Button.

    Back then, your team was defined by 2 things:
    1) What motor deal you could work. A Tyrrell with a Renault engine was too much for me.
    2) What tire deal you could work out. Anyone remember Pirellis ?

    Yes, although it helps to have a 40 of OE handy.

    Since I actually have a Honda, my fourth one, they used to be my favorite constructor, and Scott was of course my driver, but then STR chunked him and I'll never forgive them for that, and Honda quit, so SF it is. As my ever-shrinking circle of friends will confirm.

    Of course!! But I am also an F1 fan, so to watch the Brawn win for now is good for the sport. Yet, even if the season is tough, I would still like a Ferrari on top.

    Being a Huge Barrichello fan, I am freaking amped.
    I certainly do not care as much as some may about SF F1. I do root for them to do well, but I am more a fan of particular drivers than teams.

    I don't mind if the car is genuiely slow, but eversince 2007, Ferrari have been making school boy errors in it's pit strategy. It's really frustrating, especially, when it's a wet race, how Ferrari just throw everything away.

    And no, whatever it is, i bleed rosso corsa :)

    Yeah, they come across as clowns at times, but these same clowns brought home a WDC in 2007 and a WCC in 2008. Flipside is in reality they pissed away a WCC in 2007 (won only due to Mclaren points exclusion) and a WDC in 2008.

    I'm not going to write them off yet...Australia is only the first race of the season and the last race was a three-ringer from so many angles and not just from the boys in Maranello.

    They could use some focus, the talent and the ability is there.
