    I'm not convinced that it means anything.

    Nope.
    It must be a new literary genre, but I am not sure if it will catch on ...

    I think he structured it like a spoken word or rap verse. You have to recite it while simultaneously making beatbox noises.

    I think he's saying that Ferrari are losers because they don't build the Prius. But he does so in free verse and has no idea what a question mark (?) is used for.

    He's a freestyle troll battle rapper. I can see influences of Trollio, Trollpac and Biggie Trolls in the way he flows in the cypher. All of them share a disdain for the Scuderia cause they were red. True story.

    Off topic per earlier post

    I predict the Leisure suits will make a comeback in 2015 along with the ugly sweater trend.

    We fired a guy at IBM for wearing Leisure suits at the time.

    So if Ferrari has another crappy year in F1, will someone fire Uncle Sweater?

    Give me a break. Luca was let go because he resisted Uncle's crappy plans for the company.

    During the last several years of poor performance on the race track, Ferrari sold more and more cars, and made more and more money. That tells me the results on the race track don't have much of an effect on the company's fortunes. Maybe in the past but not so much these days.

    It's good to be realistic but I think his comments are not very helpful to the sport overall. "Ferrari fans don't waste your time. Come back in 16 and we may be good". Race tracks need Ferrari fans in the stands. When you send a message to your team you don't have realistic expectations they can be good my guess is they never get really good.

    If he wants to get even more honest he could tell us that Chrysler's suck but maybe buy one in 2019 when he fixes them.

    Publicly understating your chances in face of the opposition is not a bad approach in my book.
    It's far better than making bombastic forecast that are not followed up by concrete results.
    That really scuppers your credibility.

    Personally, I like someone who is prudent and keeps his cards close to his chest.

    so is all of the angst over Sergio Marchionne's sacking of Luca Montezemolo beginning to pass yet?
    since the changes to management, the Scuderia seems to have made rather more progress over the last winter than in the previous 2 or 3 years.

    notwithstanding the problems experienced with Kimi's rear wheel, it looks like Ferrari have moved up the field and now appear second only to Mercedes on pace, with more changes in the works.

    I think we will see race wins this year...

    Realistically, for everybody except Mercedes, it is wait until 2017 when there is another formula change.

    I don't think Ferrari will agree to engine freezes ever again .... absolutely bloody stupid idea, the FIA rule makers need a smackdown for ruining any chances of an equal race or the opportunity for catch up.

    BTW I wouldn't want to be a Renault exec this morning trying to explain the rubbish they served up to their clients, poor Kvyat had immense problems in practice and qualifying fighting the software all the time

    I don't understand why Renault continue to make F1 engines, unless it is to demonstrate their ineptitude.

    Everyone keeps blaming the FIA, but it was the teams that agreed to these rules as part of the FOM.
