Fernando Alonso ringing the alarmbells.

Fernando Alonso ringing the alarmbell’s ?

After a season of hard work, Alonso is enjoying a well deserved holiday, before he put's his shoulders under the 2013 project, pictures of exotic places and many thank you's for the tifosi appear on his twitter.
Nando has lost, but kept his head high, driving a fantastic season, with class and consistency, bringing the results.

But after the race in Brazil, and the famous tweet “i make my own miracles from rules”, we saw the cruel reality, a very dissapointed Fernando Alonso, unhappy with his team for the lack of updates.
Off course there where the “thank you so much and Forza Ferrari's”, but the truth is, Alonso expected a very different car from Spa on forwards.
A car that could at least place itself behind the Red Bull's, but as we all know, that's not how it went, the F2012 seemed to get worse, race after race.

That's why a, not so happy Alonso, told Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo :”Who tells me, whe're going to have the same amount of luck next year, as we had this year, we can not fight for the title with a slow car, with a slightly slower car, yes, it can be done, not with a much slower though”.

The message is loud and clear, Alonso is banging his fist on the table, the technical impasse of Ferrari is not going down well, the price to pay was high.
A title lost by only three points against an opponent driving a “spaceship”, it still hurts badly.

Is he getting tired of carrying the whole team, a team that has not been able to put a winning car on the grid since 2008, Ferrari rarely put's a winning car on the grid from day 1, always developing the car throughout the season, through endless hours of testing, but with the testing ban, and Ferrari's simulations not up to date, is he starting to worry?

One of the last textmessages to Fry/Tombazis was a very bitter one:”in 6 months we have not been able to design a rear wing that would allow us to take the tenth victory, since i've been here”
That's a completely different tone than all the friendly messages in New Delhi.
Maybe he's awaiting the arrival of Ross Brawn, a man capable of fixing a few things, starting with Fernando's stomache ache, wich does seem to appear more often.

I think Alonso saying we need a quicker car is just the same as Stefano is saying and Felipe is saying, and pretty much obvious to everyone. Not sure why they try and make out its Alonso.

Because it has more impact when Alonso saying it?

[scuderia_nano]

No one likes losing.

Though I think another year without a title means Ferrari needs to look out for another driver and Alonso for another team

[wisepie]

I can quite understand his frustration and he's no spring chicken now, so maybe he feels his time is running out. Fair enough, to have missed out at the last race again must make him question his decision to sign with Ferrari for a long stint, and he must have been so tired and drained by the end of this season. I think that this is his way of showing that he's running out of patience, giving the team the 'get on with it' message yet again, but also it was possibly said in the heat of the moment and with a sense of despair. Hope the team can deliver what he needs soon, for both his and Felipe's sakes.

Fernando is just pushing the whole team for next year to do everything they can to develop a car which is faster then this year's. I really can understand why Fernando is saying this.

I read it between the lines and it said "Stefano, time to resign".

Maybe because Domenicali has been saying it for six years now, and it sort of never happened?

[Suzie]

How would a newspaper know what texts he sends to Fry and Tombazis?

Also this 'Alonso is carrying the team' thing bores me.

I don't know who invented that text message thing but it has been wandering around in the press ever since. And if that bores you, complain to the media. Or stop reading it, i did that long ago. It will only get you all worked up and thats exactly the intended effect.


Fernando has never said anything that comes remotely close to what Ferrarifans have posted in this forum throughout the year

[fratelliferrari]

There was also some commotion a few weeks ago, where a newspaper said that Fernando was angry of Fry and he would post a negative tweet on his account. Who comes up with all this nonsense?

Source:Antonino Rendina- BlogF1.it, he did, http://www.blogf1.it/2012/11/30/alon...vettura-lenta/

I made this thread just to have a discussion about Ferrari, the team we all love, but if it comes across negative and upsets people, maybe a good idea to delete it, because that was never the intention.

[fratelliferrari]

Hi Massimo it has nothing to do with you. Just with the people of newspapers and internet who come up with these stories. Not blaming you for posting it.

My source told me other thing.

”in 6 months we have not been able to design a pizza that tastes like Spanish paella, I'm hungry.”

The amount of crap the media is trowing to Fernando and Ferrari is disgusting.

I think the point is that its nothing special regardless of who says it and when.

Its just a obvious fact in racing. You need a fast car, its nothing special. Alonso says they need a fast car the same reason Luca said it too, just simply stating a fact. It doesn't mean Alonso is unhappy, or Luca is about to fire someone.

Exactly. They now got to the point of making their own stuff up. Sad state of journalism.

[fratelliferrari]

If you work for Ferrari there is always pressure. That also counts for Stefano, but i don't believe and hope he will be replaced.

[Alonsomaniac]

What Fernando said or did not say, I don't know. But even if he said something like what is written, I can understand that. After all he's just another human being, not a saint.
Besides that, what would be the problem? The team would surely understand his frustration and it would not weaken their relationship.

[Giallo 550]

Just media stirring the pot. Nothing to see here.

[fratelliferrari]

Yes they only want to create a conflict within Ferrari which isn't there in real world!

[brembo man]

Red Bull has the billions to create and improve a spacecraft that wins even with a childlike driver. We need a guy like Flavio to do whatever it takes to let them spend the $$ and just send in a spy or get one of there own to turn over what makes it fly. He for sure can take the heat if needed. High tech guys quiting one team and going to another is the same thing IMO, it just looks more legit. Taking years to catch up even with the having the best driver is a tough pill to swallow. Man o man, losing by 3 is a killer.

[albert]

whatever he days you cant blame him. the team let him down since spa. the championship was in our hands and it slowly slipped away because the car was not even in the same class of redbull and mclaren.

You really think we need a guy like Flavio? I'm rather sure he would have tried talking Felipe in to ramming Vettel in Brazil at the start, he would have likely tried spying RBR and other things like that. IMO, he might have won something out of it, but would have trashed Ferrari's reputation. We're bigger than this. Hope we wont have the likes of him anywhere near our team...

More impact than Stefano? Dai, Massimo...

Like a good told me once at the university: live would be easier with sources. That's why I don't like many of these Blog-Writers as many of them just posting someting without giving a source ....

One of the last textmessages to Fry/Tombazis was

You are so right Senna4ever. These bloggers are just making stories that doesn't exist only in the hope many people will read their articles. I hate that as well.
