Yeah, so Ferrari managed to scrape points in Kimi. That was not what was expected from the once-existing giant. What was worrisome was the way they managed to screw up Massa's KERS analysis. First they say its faulty and call him in before LAP 15! Then, they say its OK. What the heck was Stephen Dome doing in this scenario? Heck, since Luca was also there, I hope he kicks some righteous a$$.
And yet, Luca gave an interview subsequently stating the reasons for Ferrari's failure. I was very disappointed by that. Note that he gave reasons, NOT STEPS TO BRING FERRARI BACK INTO CONTENTION!!
I wouldn't blame him. If you're clueless about what your place in the technology is, if you have taken success to your head so that you cannot correctly interpret the rules on the diffusers, if you have two lousy drivers – one of them having a penchant for eating ice cream and getting photographed globally – during a race, and if you REALLY STILL have no ideas what it is that is not enabling you to become competitive, you generally tend to spout nonsense the way Luca did during the interview. All acceptances of the problems, but YET NO SOLUTIONS.
I don't see Ferrari resurging. Period.
Whether Luca was there during the first bad period or not. But maybe, just maybe, Luca should look at Ferrari's history and what I have been saying all along. The BEST PARTS of FERRARI's HISTORY were when they had FANTASTIC DRIVERS – Prost and Schumacher.
Maybe Luca just doesn't get it yet. Maybe he cannot accept it. Maybe he can, but actually has no replacements. Maybe he has no choice. But either way, there is EXCESSIVE focus on the car, not enough on the drivers. Both Ferrari's drivers at the moment are mediocre.
Only hope? Alonso for Ferrari 2010. 'Nuff said!
