    A bit unfair to Button, that. He managed to win GP's without the Brawn "rocket ship", Jacques became useless the moment Williams lost its competitiveness

    Fastest car is for sure the winning factor. Shumy after Ferrari was an example.

    Feb.16 (GMM) Insiders are playing down rumours Ferrari's 2017 campaign is already in trouble, long before a single winter testing lap.

    Eyebrows were raised in Turin earlier this week, when representatives of other F1 teams attended a launch event by tyre supplier Pirelli.

    Maurizio Arrivabene was conspicuously absent.

    "I am not far from Maranello, but I could not come because we have a lot to do," Italian media reports quote Arrivabene as explaining by video message.

    It triggered rumours that Ferrari has fundamentally erred with the design of its 2017 car, amid a battle with Mercedes and Red Bull over alleged 'trick' suspension systems.

    What is clear is that Ferrari is having an extremely low-profile winter period, having brashly declared a year ago that it would challenge for wins and the title in 2016.

    "I do not think Ferrari is as bad as it is being painted," an Italian media source told the Spanish daily Marca.

    Also being played down are rumours of aerodynamic problems with the 2017 Ferrari. According to the rumour, the team is already working on a 'B' car for Barcelona.

    "It is not a B chassis," the Marca report insisted, "but rather an important evolution as they discover the possibilities of the new aerodynamics."

    Ferrari spokesman Alberto Antonini said: "It would be inappropriate to talk about expectations. The regulations have changed and the car will be completely different.

    "We know our abilities and what kind of car we have built. In the team the results are in line with expectations, but we need to wait for the tests in Barcelona to compare with the others," he added. (from onestopstraregy)

    So, we have to be patient...

    AFAIK, Allison's departure was by mutual consent between him and Ferrari (he wanted to go back to England, and after what had happened to him who can blame him for that, Ferrari wasn't pleased with his work) and Paddy offered himself and was turned down by Marchionne

    yes, thats always been the problem at both ends.....Italy because its far away from the U.K. and Lowe's reason was he wanted a stake in Ferrari which meant $$$$$$$.....

    and here's the other problem: ""We had a proposal, but that role was covered. We don't need a Ross Brawn-type of hero who solves all problems," Marchionne was quoted as saying by Autosport when asked about Lowe's potential availability." I think we do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Maybe we don't. Let's see how the tests go before jumping into any conclusions, shall we?

    Well....here's what I find interesting. So Mercedes "loses" Lowe to Williams (by the way Susie Wolff was a driver for them) and also has an AMG PU. And Mercedes picks up Allison......a team that is well-manned and has a new driver. Man! this team just does'nt miss a beat!!!!! Lowe will "spice" things up for Williams....IF they get even close to Ferrari at the end of the year in pts, 2018 looks to very interesting year as far as the pecking order. Predictions IMO 1.) MB 2.) RB or Williams 4.) Ferrari

    The truth is neither Allison nor Lowe will have any influence in Mercedes or Williams performances this year. They haven't even began working in their new teams, for God's sake

    My feeling is that,Merc won't be around much longer (2-3 years ) and they are "preparing " Williams to rake there place in the fight of the championship!!!

    +1 Agreed....Full and complete domination then end on a high note. Williams is a possibility. Mercedes could sell off the team to someone else and still supply PU's to other teams as an engine supplier.
