Sudden, too many changes and variables moving esp in Ferrari as an organization. As a staff, you would really be demotivated. One boss after another leaving, all in a time frame of a few months.
When we announced MM, it shocked the whole world. Don't get me wrong, top executive and a great proven track record but how much of which is related to racing?
Ferrari is being seen as on panic mode, a knee jerk reaction...
To put it into racing context, the harder we are countering the over steer, the wider the car is running out of the racing line.
If SM is to prove that he can indeed fill LdM shoes... He needs to plug this situation quickly esp in F1 and resolve all the issues with the team.
Then the process of re-building can begin.
IMHO, we are still in the 'storm'.....
Felipe Massa gave insight:
-Alonso is set to go to McLaren-Honda
-Vettel is about to go to Ferrari
-Ferrari have been facing big changes
JEV looking really frustrated.
Does SANTANDER will pullout from ferrari as they will go wherever fernando goes??
Hell would have broken loose
So a really good car is a must now......with ALO a good car was enough, with VET we need a supercar
Hamster confirmed the news about Vettel?
And that was the problem with Ferrari under the Alonso / SD era. Alonso was calling the shots. MM had to get things back in control. The Ferrari board were not happy with the leadership and driver control.
Thats why they brought in someone who Alonso could not wrap this fingers around and control. Alonso does not get along with anyone he cannot control. We saw it with Ron we are seeing it with MM.
MM is going to be the Jose Mourinho of F1. 'The special one.' Ferrari needs a strong leader not the weak joke that SD was. MM's decisions wont make sense to many but when Ferrari start reaping the rewards people would be back tracking.
Stefano was a good leader, too much people disliked him as they labelled him soft.... he was doing a great job amidst the pressure.
He had the hottest seat in Maranello but you never see him complain.
True passionate people rarely complain, they just do they job and try and improve.
We have now passed on the baton to MM, and I am not liking what I am hearing and our performance or rather platform for 2015 doesn't sound impressive....

'@alo_oficial “Red Bull was never a priority, so it's not a big worry at the moment. I know what I want to do and I will tell you soon”
Disagree. Alonso is a force in Ferrari but he wasn't the Boss. The Boss paid the salaries... so Alonso does not make the BIG decision.
He can choose which tyre to run but that's about it
And I do not agree with those that labelled SD weak. 99.9% don't even know SD. He is a good man. A man that kept winning as the team priority. Along the lines, yes of course he needed to keep Alonso happy so that Alonso could deliver the points....
Do not one minute second guess SD's abilities..... he has been there and did a lot for Ferrari!
