Ferrari’s Alonso era only beginning – Domenicali

[stefa]

If FA leaves Ferrari that will be such a BIG mistake from Maranello based team, indescribable one for sure!

[Hornet]

at least we will have one more strong competitor again in 2015 - latest (no matter where Alonso will drive for then)

But good for sport ... in general ...

Well I still think it's made up garbage at this point. The Alonso part of course

Though I agree that McLaren could be strong in 2015... they just need a better driver than Button

Why better? He already proved what can be done with the best car in field back in 2009

Alonso's helmet for Indian GP

Well I wasn't quite thinking about Brawn's kind of dominance with extra diffuser. I meant strong as in being able to compete with the top team again, just like last year for example. Lewis was the driver who was fighting for the title.

Nice helmet for Alonso, but this points thing is surely not that important considering the numerous changes to the points system?

[Kiwi Nick]

If the point system was still 10, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1, how many points would he have? This is soft ** that has no purpose other than to make a story.

Frankly, I'd be embarrassed to wear that helmet.

[Aberracus]

Not really, this pointing system is the one in use, and the other one is ancient history.
Probably Somebody will pass Alonso, and they will still be in this system.

Really nice helmet.

This won't answer your question, however here is how it would look like if points were normalized to the current points system:

Schumacher 3,890
Prost 2,483
Alonso 2,414
Barrichello 1,897
Raikkonen 1,882
Senna 1,881

That 1571 number is as arbitrary as drinking coffee....

very nice language mister

I hope Alonso wears it for the remaining races to make you more mad

[Greig]

Well every point he scores now is a new record, so could just update it every race

[FerrariFanBoii]

What If that helmet brings him bad luck? And after the Indian GP, he's still on those points?!? Because he was showing it off haha!

[Hermann]

You would like that huh?

[FerrariFanBoii]

Well clearly not... I was just saying

Careful now, somebody might get a warning for that kind of language.

[Winter]

Personally I dont care at all if Alonso leaves, but next year he just MUST drive Ferrari. After that, Hulkenberg welcome..

[Greig]

Alonso and Hulk sounds good I guess

On no the Kimi fan is trying to derail another thread....when will that get boring.

Ouch.

Anyway, as far as eras and dominating goes it is my humble prediction that the season 2014 will be dominated by the team who has best combination of driver, chassis, aero and power unit. IMHO it will be the combination of all those things and not just a single factor of those.

I hope that the dominating car will be red in colour but we'll see eventually.

Wouldn't go that far, but it IS a bit cringey that he keeps going on about it on Twitter.

@SD

Not bad from Alonso considering all the stats. Actually quite awesome.

The only embarrassing thing is the low life's that now try and belittle his achievement. Considering how little time he has spend in a real title contending race car in his career and still manage to achieve this, puts his class and determination and motivation as unequaled judged by the majority of today's talent in F1 and also puts him as one of the greats driving for Scuderia Ferrari too.

[Lucky Dodo]

Fernando will not resign. Not in this year. He want win with Ferrari. Bild is not reference in motorsport media. Full of garbage!

Agreed

Alonso talking about our lack of development and our actual incompetence to deliver steady progress (or even deliver progress) = BAD
Alonso celebrating the less highlights this second half has due to car performance = BAD

Someone told me: when you have a bad phase hang on every little success you have to build you up again ...
If we would have delivered a car which was close to what he is able to deliver together with his pit crew this record might be a side note ... but so ...

But we as Ferrari Fans can be proud of once again of season of missed opportunity by mystery wind tunnel experience ... maybe celebrating this
or leaving Felipe? Maybe celebrating this

we have such great moments we can be proud of and celebrate in the near past ...

or just doing as it would be 2004 ...

[scuderia_nano]

I found every little celebration done by Lewis Hamilton a bit cringy.

Nowadays Same with Redbull or Sebastian.

Its human nature.
