It's been a long time! But I found this video of Froilán González during the 2011 Sirverstone GP pre-race broadcast and I remembered this thread - so here is the link, in Spanish only (sorry about...

Nice to see how some journalists and people are quick on mistranslating Alonso's words and using that mistranslation to bring him down...
...

Look, Wicked: when Vettel was winning, people were praising the car not because of Vettel, but because Vettel's teammate was always high up there too. If while at Ferrari both him and Raikkonen get...

Why do you think that Vettel will change the perception of the car so drastically? Yes, Alonso has a reputation of dragging any car to the top, but do you really think that Vettel has a reputation...

I see your point, but we will have to see how things go before we decide that Ferrari is in a better position now that it has been in the past few years in terms of public perception.

Sure :-D , but still.

I don't understand the conflict of interest in following a rival team or driver in twitter - it is all public info (and when it isn't you can always have fun at it). Plus, don't most drivers follow...

Have you heard about the most recent F1 scandal? A certain car that has been found to be illegal?

Oh well, it seems that I am joining Suzie in the "I am here but my driver isn't" camp - at least, I am in good company! ;-)

Spot on.

With all due respect, your loyalty to any team seems to be on rather shaky grounds, and hence any big declarations of love to a team on your side should be taken with a very big pinch of salt.

A bit OT, but for Suzie and those who haven't seen it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgbFAkz8KYs

What???

Oh, God, my head hurts with all these turns and twists...

So let me get this straight: you think that Ferrari needs a driver who openly states that he wants to leave his team for another one and then breaks up his contract with his team, but you are...

:lol Suzie, you won't happen to have a youtube link with their voices on, would you? I'd love to see that live!!!

Edit: just found out that you already posted it. Thanks!!! It is so heartwarming...

Absolutely agreed! :-)

PS I see that we have a new forumer around who is not fooling anyone with his/her supposed love for Ferrari... ;)

That would actually make sense and explain the position of the different people around the table, including both Ferrari and Alonso.

Given they all are so shy, why don't we volunteer to make the decision for all of them? :-D:-D:-D

In my experience, you always listen to those who want to offer you a different job even if you are happy with yours. First, because it is important to know your market value; second, because you...

I am sure that they all speak to each other, drivers, engineers and teams, more or less formally. You have to understand, they need to keep their options open in case they need them. But I still hope...

He couldn't have given any other reply, not even if he were convinced that at this moment his main job is to keep Alonso happy. Come on, how could any team director publicly say that his team is...

I would certainly be in very good company! ;-)

As an Alonso supporter, it would be so confusing if he goes back to McLaren... Ferrari has grown on me the same way Renault did (that was way before Alonso joined in, by the way), so in the same way...

Are we going from the "Alonso is a great car developer" to the "Alonso is counter-productive when it comes to car development"? :-E

Alonso has not been happy with the car and his complains have...

And nobody is denying that it is his job to extract the maximum from the car. I understood that what we were wondering was how sensible/likely it was from Matiacci to take a hard line in the...
