Stefano spoke about how Fernando is the focus of the team, take it up with him if you disagree. I never put any of Felipe's performance down to it either so stop putting words into my mouth please, all I said is Fernando is the focus point for the team, if you don't agree with that then fine, just like MS was the focus point, that is why we signed Fernando, Ferrari spoke about the desire to have a focus point, something they thought they would get with Kimi when they replaced MS.
Forza Ferrari
The rumor mill seems to have both Vettel and Webber moving to Ferrari.
I'm not sure I want to see Webber become Alonso's dedicated #2 driver, but i'd much prefer it to him being Vettels #2 driver as Alonso is one of few drivers his superior in talent imo.
Watching the Massa of 2007 and 2008 he was the type of driver to shove it to Kimi, who was considered the best in the sport.
I don't know if that Massa is still around, if we lost him in the crash or if Alonso is just far superior to Massa. But he's no longer the same driver imo.
I was happy to see his resurgence during Monaco. Lets hope it can continue.
Felipe looks very much the same to me, he drove very well in other races this season as well, Monaco was only different from a mathematical point of view. No doubt he is still quicker than Kimi :twisted
Alonso is just superior, some people (most surprisingly some Alonso fans) need to get over it.
JB just turned number 1 at McLaren this year, bad luck maybe? He's shown us how great of a driver he is and I think JB is at his prime now, even more mature than what he was in 2009. Knows how to control the race pace, drives without putting a wheel wrong the whole weekend (Hamilton makes mistakes) and of course his ever-so-smooth driving style.
He sure knows how to complain about the car on the radio when he's not winning.

Well looks like Massa has suddenly recovered from his accident, coincidentally at the same moment Ferrari have improved the car into a top level.
Like I have been saying, he has always been the same driver, his performance is just heavily related to the quality of the car, like almost every other driver. Hopefully we dont have to hear anymore crap about how Massa is a rubbish driver and almost everyone on the grid is better.
JB probably is finding out the hard way how Alonso had his car sabotaged by his own team.
Now that the car looks to be delivering its real potential, the old Felipe seems to have returned. Given how close the top 10 are on the grid, his efforts at Monaco and in Canada are finally being rewarded. The other races weren't down to bad performance from Felipe, either, just strategic errors ruining his races after he'd made brilliant starts. Give him a break, and show that we're all behind him and pray that the podium isn't just a dream, especially for Felipe.
Massa will be the name to be discussed after the race!!! Remember this!!!
massa is the same as he has always been....quick....and unlucky, his starts are superior, his speed is up their with the best...his team strategy however is poor, praying that he doesnt get involved in any incident today especially first lap!
Man we should get schumacher back!!
Yeah cause he is doing great right, move on, MS did.
Forza Ferrari
i think today we saw alot of the old felipe back on track, you could see him really pushing and being relentless.
and the whole point where we wanted to get and stay was this way with BOTH drivers being relentless and fighting for it whenever they have the conditions, we saw both of them doing that in canada!! even when we didn't have the best strategies, and the fastest cars, they were so driving on the limit that this car go.
For all the criticism he received during the beginning of the season, it's so rewarding seeing how felipe's side came around, and all that extra working in Maranello with the team to try and get this car to work as well for felipe too. I would love to see them getting credit for it, just as much as i think the team in a general should get the credit for how far we've come with a car that at the beginning had us wondering if it could give us a chance at all.
great job felipe and rob, and the entire scuderia!! this is why we are ferrari fans!
The art isn't in never falling but in always getting up.
Upset for him today. He was looking quick early on. I think he would have passed Webber and been racing with the top 3.
massa looked rough,in his driving.no fight in the guy.
Well Formula 1 drivers (or at least the top drivers anyway) are all about trying to walk that line between staying on track and spinning off track. Mistakes happens but its a risk they have to take.
I'm glad Massa is pushing that far. He have nothing to lose anyway, so why not go all out and get the best result he can
