Forza Ferrari - Messages to the Team

[Schu]

I am proud to support this team. Unbelievable season. Amazing Alonso and Ferrari. I'm completely speechless.

Forza Ferrari.

[scuderiafan]

an idea. you can shoot this down if it isnt good.

Remember how last year, when Felipe was going through a rough patch, we got together and posted messages to him, of encouragement and support, and they got given to Felipe.

Well now that the entire team is going through a rough patch, i wonder if we can do something similar. i look around the internet, about Ferrari, and there is bashing everyone on every website. team members can look through there and see them being criticized for everything.

Even now, from their own fans. yes criticism is needed, but so is support, and i only see some here. imagine the feeling they get, when they look at those things, and see them alonso. and then we have the drinks comapny sticking the knife in.

So anyways, my idea is so maybe we can do this to the whole team showing that we are behind them, and believe in them. show that their loyal fans are 100% behind them.

so i'll start. here is my message.

'I know it has been a rough season so far, but i completely believe that we can do this. i follow you 100%, and i will always support you through the good times and bad. we can get out of this mess, as we have done many times. our team is synonymous with Passion, and support, but maybe these past few weeks there has not been much of that. i hope this helps raise spirits, and get the team to the level they should be. we can still do this, and if we do,, people will hail this to be the greatest comeback of all time. Also, Stefano. dont care what people say. you are the right guy to lead Ferrari. Everyone wanted Sir Alex Ferguson out at Man u before, and now look where they are.'

Thanks. i hope that if these messages do get sent, it can motivate the team and raise spirits that are down at the moment.

again, if it is a bad idea, fair enough. but i just hate to imagine what our team members (which arent machines they are human) will feel when they read people including their own fans constantly putting them down. i want to show not all are like that. we have a great community here, and i think we can spur them on.

one last thing; FORZA FERRARI!!

[Ken]

I've taken the liberty of providing the Italian version:

Lo so che la stagione e' iniziata in difficolta'; pero, crediamo completamente che siamo capace di farcela!! Vi seguo al massimo e vi sopporto sempre, sia nel male che nel bene! Ci la facciamo uscire da questo periodo, come abbiamo fatto tante volte gia; la nostra scuderia e' sinonima con la passione e sopporto. Forse in quest'ultimi settimane non c'e' stato tanto sopporto. Spero che questo messaggio aiutera' ad alzare l'anima di tutti e che potra' d'arvi una spinta a riportare la scuderia al livello sappiamo dovrebbero stare! Ci la facciamo!! E quando ci stiamo, tutti saranno d'accordo che questa e' la piu' bella tornata a forma di tutti tempi!!

Forza Ferrari!!

I am a Renault supporter, and I remember feeling this way during the dark days of Spygate - I fully agree that if a team needs the support of its fans it is when things are going all wrong. So count me in for signing that message - and we could add Sagi's signature to it too!!! :-)

[scuderiafan]

now we wait until they come online. :thumb.

[Greig]

Write them a letter it means more lol

[scuderiafan]

Write them a letter it means more lol

i was actually hoping that one of the mods could send this for all of us. i just thought of the idea.

:oops please Greig

[PURE PASSION]

count me too!!!!!

[Luke]

Great idea, count me in.

[NJB13]

I think in the past we've sent messages of support to the team via contacts, perhaps we could do the same this time? And, if not, does it really matter. When I'm in the grandstand cheering for Ferrari, I know they don't hear my voice, but they hear and "feel" the Tifosi, and cheering for my team makes me part of the Tifosi

Woo Hoo
and
Forza Ferrari!

[FerrariFanBoii]

I'm in! :D
Forza Ferrari!

[de Portago]

I'm in too!

[Mrs.Domenicali]

I will forward your messages if you wish, I will leave this message open until thursday then send it to the team then..... please leave any polite and respectful messages you want to pass on below :-)

Thanks Mrs D. Very much appreciated! :thumb :love

[NJB13]

Thanks Mrs D :-)

[Hornet]

Once again we find ourself in a challenging situation this season, and therefore I wrote this short message of support to assure everyone in Ferrari F1 team that you guys still have the full support of all the tifosi from around the world. Success comes and goes, but our support for the team is something that will never change over time. I know in this hard times, everyone in the team is working as hard as they can to turn things around and the least we the fans could do is to show our appreciation for all the hard work you have put in and will continue to put in.

Forza Ferrari!

ps: Thanks Mrs D for your effort :thumb

[goferrarigo]

"Even in tough times i know that even the greatest of greats have struggled, but with the Tifosi and a bit of team morale and the great Ferrari name nothing can be to difficult until it reaches impossible. I know its been a tough recent few months after all the wind tunnel issues however i would like all of you to know that what ever happens and no matter where you finish I will still be sat at home cheering you on with millions of Tifosi's all around the world for that Ferrari domination to happen again; we all know we have the best 2 drivers and the best team put together so it will only be a matter of time if it is the rest of the year or in a matter of a few years.
I would also like to congratulate all the Ferrari team for the excellent pace of producing the ideas and developments for the coming races and all the improvements, like for example, the improved pit stops in Spain, new innovative ideas (in the rear wing), Fernando's amazing start plus there must have been many more things everyone has been improving.
Finally, i would just like to let you know that NO matter what happens you will still be my favourite team in the world and many millions of other people's favourite team as well.
Forza Ferrari!"
Please send the message above Mrs D, thank you again. :thanks

[raylinds]

The Scuderia Ferrari never gives up, and we want you to know that the tofosi doesn't, either. We are 100% behind you, 100% of the time. Thank you for all the ahrd work and dedication and, especially the passion. We return it in-kind. Forza Ferrari!

Thanks Mrs. D

[Jo-Ann]

The real fans are always behind the team, especially through the difficult times when support is so very important. We appreciate all the hard work. Stefano, do not take notice of the critics, you are a great leader with the right personality and in my opinion you have done wonders for the PR side of things. Try to keep positive. Forza Ferrari, always with you!

[zike]

I am s fan of Scuderia for more than 10 years, but I have never felt more pride than this sunday in Barcelona watching Alonso fight. Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion, and yes give him a faster car......please:-)

[Chris]

Last year you proved that revivals are possible, this year been tough but we know you'll be trying everything to get Ferrari back in front and we'll always be 100% behind you. Forza Ferrari!!!

[PURE PASSION]

You are my passion, my religion!!!!!FERRARI FOR EVER!!!!!

[Greig]

Maybe it's time for Stefano to send us a message of support :-)

[burak karakutuk]

Thanks, Meiga!! I didn't realize I hadn't asked to have my name added!:ouch

If possible, I'd like to add my own message:

Ferrari's history has such strong links with F1 that one doesn't seem to exist without the other.
Ferrari is unique to other teams for a number of reasons; the most important one is heart!
No other team brings out the passion in the heart and soul of F1 fans like Ferrari does. When
Ferrari is successful, we are all proud; when Ferrari doesn't do as well, we are worried, yes
even frustrated! But, no matter what, we are always Ferrari fans and supporters. We may
not always understand the decisions made, we may not always agree with them; but, in the
end, Ferrari is our team! Heart and soul, Ferrari is always our team!



La Ferrari ha un storia talmente collegata con F1 che una non sembra d'esitere senza l'altra!
La Ferrari e' unica all'altre scuderie per tanti motive; il piu' significante e' il cuore!
Nessun'altra scuderia porta la passione nel cuore e nell'anima dei tifosi come la Ferrari!
Quando la Ferrari ha successo, siamo fieri; quando la Ferrari non va bene, siamo preoccupati,
si anche frustrati! Irriguardo, siamo sempre tifosi fedele della Ferrari. Anche se non sempre
capiamo i decisioni che si prendono, anche se non siamo sempre d'accordo con questi decisioni;
alla fine, la Ferrari e la nostra scuderia! Cuore ed anima, la Ferrari e' sempre la nostra!

[Meiga]

Thanks, Meiga!! I didn't realize I hadn't asked to have my name added!:ouch

:lol I didn't realise you hadn't either! But had I, I would have requested you to be included, we could not miss such an important member of this club :-). My comment was referring to the sig you use in this forum: "Without the agony of defeat, how can success be sweet?" Great line for these times.

As for the message, may I please just add my name below all the ones you guys are writing? Cheeky, I know :oops, but I am empty of clever ideas - other than a quote from Napoleon Bonaparte to be added to the line in Sagi's sig: "Victory belongs to the most persevering". So hold on there and keep on fighting!

[Ophidian786]

Come on Ferrari! You can do this!

[sagi58]

...My comment was referring to the sig you use in this forum: "Without the agony of defeat, how can success be sweet?" Great line for these times... Oooops!! I misunderstood your comment!:doh
And, thank you, the phrase was inspired by a friend!!:-D

[exeau]

Ragazzi,

Anche se quest'anno non sta andando tanto bene... ci dobbiamo tenere la testa in alto in ogni momento.
Comunque... ho fiducia in voi meccanici!!

FORZA ALONSO, MASSA E FERRARI!!

Saluti,
Riccardo F (Catanese in Australia)

[stefa]

Brilliant! I am putting my name to it also!

THANK YOU!!!

Forza Ferrari

[Corey]

I'm in, one more name to add to that list! :-)

Is TheScuderia.Net the only "Support Ferrari" forum out there? If there is then it'll be interesting to know if they have an equal amount of criticisms and bashings.

[impactX]

We should put a chin on the frong wing to increase downforce on the F150th. Proven to work on the F2005.

[Stormsearcher]

Ferrari has racing in its genes. Sure, we are going through a bad patch, but i am sure we will pull through. We have the best drivers on the grid and the best team backing them. We can do this!! You have the complete support of us fans!! Go Ferrari!!

[alogoc]

my message to the team

dont upgrade 150 italia

[sav_pap]

Forza Ferrari !!! We are with you...always - Ups & Downs...

[Jo-Ann]

Maybe it's time for Stefano to send us a message of support :-)

:-D He probably would too! :saint

[sagi58]

This is what Ferrari is all about:

Inspiring Passion in Everyone!!

In good times and in bad, everyone has an opinion and nobody sits on the fence!!
It's what makes Ferrari unique!!:clap

[Liscia]

Keep at it guys!!! FORZA FERRARI!!!!

[stefa]

I will be soon 38 years old and I have spent last 25 years supporting Ferrari in Formula 1 racing. There were ups and downs in these 25 years, and I, as all of us stayed by the team, because you are supporting your beloved team no matter what! Since 1979 up to Schumacher era years were dry, and couple of them were even without a single win in season. Still Ferrari was fighting, and trying hard as they can to build champion winning car. Then back in 1996, as we all know Schumacher came to Maranello. First years we very difficult for him and team. In first year 3 wins, but without a real chance to fight for WDC. Comapring to 2010 Alonso first year with scuderia, he was actually holding WDC, with one hand, when everything slipped thru his fingers in last race. In 1997 schumacher was given decent car to fight, and he almost did it, if it wasn't for stupid tires going off for him after second stop. This year Alonso and team are trying best they can, and I am sure they will deliver couple of wins and fight hard as they can to achieve the ultimate prize. It took Schumacher 4 seasons to finally bring back WDC to Maranello in 2000. It takes time to build empire. Remember how strong and dominant we were during 2000 till 2004? Those were the years. But as someone said here it is really ease to support team when it's only winning and enjoying joy, but real supporters are one to stay with team during hard times. And we, a million army of tifosi, must support our team now more than ever! As I once said Ferrari is the only team in F1 field that is actually on every track on home ground! Just look as how many red caps, flags are all over each track!
You have my FULL support no matter what!
Keep up with good work!
Let's beat all of those new ones, and show they what is FERRARI!
Forza Ferrari!!!

[Luke]

It has not been the best start to the season. As always, expectations are extremely high and unfortunately we haven't been able to live up to them yet. But know that no matter how much The Scuderia are struggling, us fans will always keep supporting the team as much as we can. At the end of the day, we all want the same thing: for Ferrari to be successful. It is unfortunate that we now find ourselves in this situation, but I believe in your ability to bounce back. Ferrari has given us so much joy in the past, now it is time for us fans to give something back to Ferrari. Best of luck in the future, you will always have my backing.

[Fariz]

Keep focus and fight until the last corner.

Forza Ferrari

[dfunk257]

When there's a will there's a way.
Ferrari is in our blood, and it will always flow no matter what.

Forza Ferrari per sempre.

[FerrariPassion]

Never give up Ferrari!! I will always support you thru thick and thin! Chins up and keep going forward! And oh yeah, lock Sebastian Vettel in the bathroom on Sunday ;).

Forza Ferrari!!

[Tiz]

Well said, count me in!

Hey Mrs D, about the stalking, you are not the only one! I am embarrassed to admit I've sent one or two letters to him, plus birthday card, christmas card...I even sent him a photo a few weeks ago and asked him if he'd kindly sign it for me, which he did and sent it back so promptly. So see? You are not the only one, LOL ;-)
