    Well, Ferrari are looking into it, and they may have found it. Alonso has now changed his tune, saying that he hopes for a podium.
    Well i will not stop believing until they get a bid woman singing in the garage.

    Funny thing how Massa in the sessions is hovering around 5th 6th place while FA is down there..sort of like what Vettel generally
    does, although in 2 Vettel put in some good times...there may be more to come. Judging by last years Q, if Massa is around 6th, FA is generally
    2nd or 3rd..2nd or 3rd in Q would be great, but at this point I dont see us cracking the 1st 2 rows. Of course, I could be wrong.

    I wonder how much this lack of performance is due to the Pirellis. Back in his championship winning days, Alonso and renault were really tuned into to those michelins.

    Its reaction and interpretation..reaction to rules changes, other teams performance or your lack of, in the case
    of different tires, I do find it a bit puzzling that we had not so many issues in Spain, but we do now...then again, why arent
    all of the teams having these so called tire issues, if in fact it is the tires at all??
    Interpretation of the rules and how the different teams react and apply their own ideas to these new rules.
    Thank you professor, now go to lunch.

    Red Bull just never showed their pace in testing, leading us and pundits to believe we were close to them.
    Forza Ferrari

    that was pretty smart from their part i must say...but crappy for us being so gullible....
    So the SF-24 has been a decent car. Lets hope that the totally redesigned from the ground up SF-25 contender will be a beast that will give us tifosi something to smile about.

    OK guys, lets shut down thescuderia.net !

    Reading some (plenty of) opinions here we're more or less at the level of Hispania.
    Is this worth an internet site?
    Addio Signor Enzo. Ciao Gilles.

    It's hard to belive that the F150º is a bad car. Last year it was the best one at the end of the season just behind the Red Bull and our competitors have kept or improved their pace in 2011. We have the same exhaust system as Red Bull and McLaren, haven't we?

    I think our problem was that we did a bad winter thinking we were very close to Red Bull but now that we now it's false we should be able to close the gap.

    Ferrari is def worth an internet site..whether we are good or bad, have this wing or that exhaust, we will still fight.

    Do we have an understeer issue?Yes.
    Do we know why?Not exactly
    Some ideas?In my opinion new tech.regulations says DDD is baned.So we need to find another way right?There is extrem exhaust solitions,floor,sime kind of diffusers...Ferrari seems not to reach balance between front and behind.All videos about our racing program,winter program gives us that they worked a lot behind of car to gain downforce because of baned ddf.We spend so much time on it.Then F150º occur with a understeer problem.Last part of winter test when we upgrade car with a major update we tested a lot of part as i said below.But until season starts there was no downforce loss front.Noone said car is not good,not satisfying,unstable...Even We were the most stable team in long runs.To sum up with why we are in a trouble now?

    Whatever the issues, it is already starting to get all too frustrating. The gaps to the front are consistently huge.

    And we were promised a car which would be ready to win immediately.

    No wonder we tried so hard to get Newey..seems like all our designers are pretty much a waste of time.. haven't come out with a single innovation..cannot adapt to changes...cant think outside of the box..etc.
    we're number one

    Ok, maybe all that is true but they did a good job last season. Can we expect something like that in 2011? I think we can but it has to be much quicker or Red Bull and McLaren would be too far away to be able to put up a fight. It's sad but we have to be patient a few more races before we can say Briatore was right.

    You guys are getting nasty now. A few not so good results n you want them all shot, beheaded, fired, grilled
    n quartered. I think Ferrari has a lot of great people working there. We all want to win,
    but to see wins only and nothing else is a bit farsighted.
    And Briatore..r u kidding? No one wouldve thought of him at all if he didnt go yapping about..What makes anyone think
    that he would be good for Ferrari?
    So if we do win Sunday, everyone will be happy?? Our engineers will be genius? And our drivers the best...

    What happened to ex-Toyota engineer Giuseppe Azzollini, who as I recall designed our blown diffuser?
    Success is simple. Do what's right, the right way, at the right time.

    Don't forget weather for Q and race though...
    It might help us get a good result (even if we are not famous for our pit decisions these days)...

    But even if we get a win, it will only cheer me up for a little, if our real pace is what we in FP and Australia...

    Completely agree. Tomorrow is a different day. Also, who said 'when you win you are a genious, when you lose you're an idiot.'

    Around Korea last year we were hailing the team, which are pretty much the same people now. I'm gonna cut them some slack until the race.

    Heres to 2 Lucky rain fueled wins in China and Malaysia, then the sharp end from Turkey onwards.

    I remain confident, not happy at all but confident. I think they can develop this car as they did with the F10 last year and they should be able to do it much quicker. Once we get to the summer break it'll be time to get nasty if at all necessary. If the car is a fail, Ferrari will focus on next year's car and forget about 2011 and of course I expect a big reshuffle if that happens.

    Well someone once said that to finish second means you still lost..
    Think I read somewhere that Enzo once said you are only as good as your last race...
    dont quote me on that though..

    nowthat I think about it every team has their bad patches through the season even us in 2004.
    (i wouldn't call it a bad patch, but after winning consecutive races we stopped winning a couple races from the end, of course by then the title was over.)

    2007 we had Monaco, Canada and US
    2008 we had Silverstone and Hockenheim
    2009 was bad all year round.
    2010 we had turkey until Hockenheim.

    these were patches of our season where we had been 'doomed' and presumed 'down and outbut we fought back from every single one.
    I guess this year our sticky patch has come earlier than normal (around may,June)

    also I for one think we will never go back to the lean years. no tema including us has a divine right to win, but I think we will always be fighting for the win.

    well this is the message that is in the ferrari site forum:

    "A QUESTO PUNTO DELLA STAGIONE MI VIENE IL DUBBIO CHE IL POVERO DYER SIA QUELLO CHE PAGA I DISASTRI ALTRUI, AGGIUNGO IL SOLO!!!!, NON RIUSCIAMO A VENIRE FUORI DA QUESTA SITUAZIONE, .......VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA VERGONGA"

    and this was the answer of someone inside ferrari:

    "@ Sir Ianez -
    Thank you for the mega font. For once I could take my reading glasses off. It was either that or stand with my back to the wall 4m away.
    However, I did get the sensation that the vertical hold (remember that on old TVs?) had gone on my new notebook.

    It is Friday.
    We haven't had qualifying let alone the race.
    Practice times mean little. Better to spend time getting things right than just go for the fastest times at the expense of the things that may help to win the race.

    Scream after the race if necessary but that's really not the case today, is it?"

    i have to agree with you on this one; no one promised us a winning car. all Luca D. said was that he will accept nothing less then a winning championship.
    maybe we just started on a bad foot, and now Ferrari understands where we have to work really hard and make teh 150 competitive and get back to winning again.

    i have faith in our people, there's a long way still
    So the SF-24 has been a decent car. Lets hope that the totally redesigned from the ground up SF-25 contender will be a beast that will give us tifosi something to smile about.

    Don't get mad, guys. Give it a few races more and see what Ferrari can do to improve the situation.

    We're all very disappointed but this is time to believe they can do it again.
