    It seems to me that he's made his bed and now he's saying it feels a bit too hard. He and the other teams have had ample time to make input on the rules and Ferrari pulls a whole lot of weight. Isn't what he's spouting now fairly close to what the Constructors Championship Teams where calling for? Which he helped crush? He got the game he wanted and now that he's not winning at it he want's to change the rules?

    I still believe the guy forced MS out to get Kimi in. Ferrari's performance this year is as much his fault as it is the mechanics and drivers. He's the one who dismantled and pissed off the management that brought so many WC to the team and we're seeing that in the current performance of the car.

    Seems like Ferrari of old.

    What are your thoughts?

    I completely agree. He is stuck with what he has made for himself.

    He should just turn his full attention to running for president of Italy, and stay out of Ferrari's F1 affairs...

    I think that Ferrarichat looks like the Ferrari of old: after 2 races we wanted to sack Massa. After 4 we wanted the head of Raikkonen. Now we want to sack the president. F***, after half season we run out of people to blame.

    Isn't this the guy that ran out Schumi because he thought Kimi was the future...

    I also heard he is going to try and be President of Italy and then Todt would takeover as President of Ferrari.

    I've been fine with both Massa and Kimi this year, but I'll admit after watching MS anounce his retirement in Italy last year amid the rumors and the look on JT's face I'll admit I don't like this guy. This is coming from someone who isn't really a MS fan either.

    I guess by the end of the season we will all sell our F-cars in disgust/protest and purchase Lambos :)

    Some of us are fickle...we want to win ALL the time, and if you don't, it's your head at the Guillotine, no that's Renault.

    We want Ferrari to be the best and we know they have that capacity and capability. We are not gracious losers, that's all. The internal politics at Ferrari SPA, are an enigma, but Monte, made clear that he is the Alpha Dog, in that pack.

    It's just the end to one of Ferrari's and F1's, Golden Era's.

    Ciao...Paulo

    but he does have a point regarding the SC rules, and the lack of overtaking.

    I agree with Brian regarding the lack of overtaking and the lame Safety Car rule in Canada.

    Those two nimrods always reside on the top two steps of the podium for "What's Wrong With F1", as far as I'm concerned!
