Briatore says Ferrari team no longer excellent

[Parabolica]

One thing to remember is that everything in F1 is legal until we are caught.

Stefano knew this once, in Germany 2010.

Then, he showed leadership and took the right decision for Ferrari.

Unfortunately for the Scuderia, others have pushed the spirit of the regulations further and more often since.

If we had Hockenheim Stefano every week, we would have fewer reasons to look at alternatives.

Montezemolo vows 'no stone unturned' in hunt for F1 success

Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has never shied away from uttering statements suggesting that an axe is about to fall at Maranello, and his latest claim could be seen as signalling the end for current team principal Stefano Domenicali.

With the Scuderia struggling to match the pace of any of the Mercedes-powered cars over the first three races of the 2014 F1 campaign, Montezemolo's frustration appeared to reach new heights during the opening of a new wing of the Ferrari museum in Maranello. Insisting that he would not avoid taking drastic action in order to turn the team's fortunes around, the Italian's comments have been taken as a threat to Domenicali's tenure at the head of operations.

"I already know what you want to ask," Montezemolo was quoted as telling journalists, “I would say to you that I will leave no stone unturned to get to where we need to be. We'll work day and night to improve, and we'll take the decisions that we need to take.”

Heading into next weekend's Chinese Grand Prix, Ferrari trails Mercedes – which has won each of the three races to date – by 78 points, and currently languishes in fifth place in the constructors' championship, sandwiched between Red Bull and Williams. Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen finished only ninth and tenth in last weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix, and the team has not won a race since Alonso's success on home soil in last year's Spanish GP. Its last world title came when it won the constructors' crown in 2008.

It seems some years ago Ferrari's upper management, under Luca, make a deliberate decision to shed their image as "the man behind the curtain" who was calling all the shots in F1, getting all the decisions on rules settled in their favor & being the biggest cheater on pit lane. This is my opinion only, not based on any fact I can point to, but based on the teams reactions to FIA rulings, etc.
When you've decided to take the high road, I think a lot of us fans look at it as Ferrari rolling over or being soft, and in reality it has taken away from the sharpness of the teams competitive edge! I think now may be a turning point for this philosophy by Luca & I think we may start to see more of an edge to the team overall.
Maybe a lot here will think I'm wrong & I very well could be wrong, but I would welcome a more aggressive approach right now.

Makes no sense to me to announce a new team principal so soon, al least Montezemolo should wait to see if the Barca upgrades work. Maybe is not related to Stefano, maybe is new tech people coming?.

the man who is the insider from Ferrari (autoplus) is jean louis moncet ...journalist who has some friend in maranello.He said he believe it will be Brawn, not Briatore.If it is true , this will be the best news in 5 years.Brawn is a master and have some information about the rocketship from mercedes .
