Glad that we've managed to keep Binotto but sorry in a way to see Arrivabene get dropped as I do believe he lived and breathed Ferrari as a true Tifoso. There were occasions in the 2018 season when we all questioned Seb and Maurizio's actions which partly went towards us losing the WDC/WCC, so hopefully this new regime will finally get us a championship. I do worry that Binotto's expertise is on the technological and engine side and I feel there should be someone else brought in to assist with driver and trackside management, otherwise he will surely be distracted from providing Seb and Charles with the best car possible.

As far as 2018 went; Ferrari for the most part would have had to ask Seb not Kimi to move over . Team orders are for the driver with the best chance of wining either the race or the podium spot. Seb was not the #1 driver by his own fault. It's the driver that brings the car home. If your the #1 driver your supposed to be ahead of your team mate.
It's 2019, we have a new team principal, and we're STILL talking about Seb vs Kimi. Good lord; get over it!
Disappointed Since 2010
Word of Stefano Domenicali heading back to Ferrari alongside Binotto are gaining momentum in Italy... Dunno if true or not.
I wouldn't have minded Domenicali returning to the team to assist with track-side and media duties, allowing Binotto to concentrate on the technical side. I always felt Domenicali was made a bit of a scapegoat for our failure to win championships with Fernando or Felipe, and he was very accommodating with the media. Binotto can't do it all on his own IMO.

As you say simple stuff for sure, Austria 2002, move over let Michael win for the team! But Rubens drives for Ferrari too, and is up front? The points all go to the team! The midjet on the radio, we work for Michael first ! But, but I drive a Ferrari too! If it will make you feel better; Ross and the midjet will let Rubens hold the trophy on the podium! To any new Ferrari fans here, that really happened! Oh well, now FF to 2018, imagine telling Max to give up his win for his team mate! Being allowed to drive his own race, Max came in 2nd only to Lewis in points 2nd half. Ok , they both had equal cars but still not a bad season finish for a just turned 21 driver.
Let's hope Leclerc knows exactly what he signed up for! Hopefully not "Rubenization!" He's also going to be alongside a German big time champion driver. Only time will tell. I can only hope Charles likes Max's way of driving to win every race.
Oh so true ! How did he ever come in 2nd ahead of the likes of Seb and everyone else second half? Max should have calmed down to say 5th or 6th place ! Show a little respect for the ailing Seb , let him pass already would have been so much more liked here and , and ?? ! I hope Binotto is paying attention , we need a super aggressive driver to challenge Lewis ASAP!

Altho I am pretty sure you know this, I will never get tired to say this to the likes of you, over and over again...
Team had a clear #1 (Michael) and a clear #2 (Reubens). The TP decided to ask #2 to move over for #1 and #2 complied as he should. The rest is history as you well know.
All have been explained, over and over, and the very fact you're clinging over the past the way that you do, suggests you're in need of help.
Michael, just like Reubens worked (at that time) for the team, from 2 very different roles. Yes, Reubens was indeed a driver, but noone expected him (or paid him for that matter) to get a WDC. He -was- paid for helping as a driver to get the WCC as well as help Michael to get the WDC.
As I did say, everything I just typed are well known, but you are clinging in the past. Get help :)

Ok, let's see how fans will react to Schumy Jr. getting the same deal with Leclerc as Michael had. It's 2019 move over is the word! Leclerc about to cross the line and win a race getting told to let Seb pass and take the win should be ok with every Ferrari fan . Nostalgia at it's best. Michael pushing Rubens into a concrete wall and almost getting it done was actually worse than any team orders. I hope Seb doesn't follow his hero's winning ways all the way, with his new team mate Leclerc . Are they going to be working for the team with two different roles, Leclerc not expected to win a WDC even if he's shows he could? I agree again, it would be utter rubbish to hold back Leclerc for Shumy Jr. That rule should be deleted if tried! It would be like Ferrari clinging to the past!

OK very true. Even Kimi; new to the F-1 sport in a car far inferior to Max's R Bull Jet; beat the hell out of Max in the final standings. Two whole points ahead of the 21yr. old veteran driver. Whoever it is, someone needs to stop "Eighty poles " from doing another WDC, WCC for Merc. Seb or Charles would do just fine!!

This post or statement is better than ur earlier posts. I agree with it.
Your admitting to never getting tired to say this over and over again... seems that you are the one that may need to get help. Your clinging to denying the rough goings on at Ferrari between drivers the way you do suggests either ignorance of the facts or just prejudice. Agreeing not to agree is fine with me, you are one of the good guys here.
