Aston Martin F1

From what I have read years ago, Ricart had a higher position than Ferrari at Alfa after he sold his Scuderia to them.
Having been his own boss before, Ferrari resented that situation and a clash of personalities followed. Ferrari left.
Compared to Ferrari, Ricart was a talented engineer, trusted by Alfa management; he was behind the decision to develop the Alfetta, which came too late against the Silver Arrows in the late 30s. The car proved its worh after WWII, by taking 2 titles.
Ricart supervised also several racing projects at Alfa Romeo, one being a mid-engine GP car to fight the German cars.
It's certain that returning to Alfa Romeo, Enzo Ferrari had to fit in the hierarchy, become a subordinate and not a decision maker.
That episode in his life left a bad memory.

 

The fantastic Tipo 512.

 

Yes, I agree, and I think that is what became apparent to him selling to Ford - that he would not be equals in terms of running the racing team, but a manager...

 

Do they have enough cash to stop Geely……that’s the question lol?

 

Actually I'm surprised someone is interested in buying. It has been a money pit lately.

 

Aston Martin went don't with previous chairman Palmer, before it was ticking over nicely.

If Geely comes onboard, they may change the company, but looking at what they did to Volvo, maybe there is nothing to fear.

 

That's quite the list....

 

Same mid pack results possibly as well lol.

 

Fernando Alonso thinks ‘super-talented’ Lance Stroll is a potential World Champion

Uh ok lol

 

Hummmm, that's a bold statement Alonso may end up regretting in years to come.

 

Not until after the checks clear!

 

Must be a clause in all AM contracts to have to talk up the boss’ son.

 

Looking forward to watching Alonso on his latest sidequest that he'll never finish.

 

uuuuuh

Has he gone senile?

 

+1 apparently. Did he think that Lance was looking "super talented" at COTA?

 

After complementing Lance in similar fashion. What bollocks!

 

Love the transport trucks
We need to do a tread on them
It’s amazing how they travel and transform into a small city

 

+1-- almost an exact quote given by Otmar in the not so recent past lol.

Alonso has lost what little of his mind he had left.

 

Absolutely ridiculous.
He should be ashamed to say this.
