Ricciardo fields questions about joining Ferrari.

[FranksterGM]

He was born in Australia and lived his whole life in Australia what nationality do you want him to be? I have Italian heritage but I wouldn't call myself Italian.

He's the most Italian of any current driver but thats a bit beside the point, Ferrari has never focused on Italian drivers. They get the best drivers.

He has Italian blood, he should drive for italia, you know aussies, they never fully accept anyone unless you have an anglo name.
If Greeks and Croatians can get onto people with their heritage around the world to represent their countries Italians should do it too.

You should call yourself Italian.

Well he is a very proud Australian and so he should be.

No he shouldn't.
He should be proud of his heritage.
Opinions vary.

He had the choice, he didn't take it. may he crash out every race.
All im saying is Italians need to be more pro active with people of Italian blood. like the diaspora of other nations are.

You really need to get out of the stone age.

Soon you lot can vote to go back to it... so good luck.

[stefa]

aside pointless discussion started from frankster, I would like to see DR in Ferrari in near future, and of course I would like to se him and FA in not perfect but at least decent car.

Italy is a country not a race of people. We're not Jewish or something.

I find it quite offensive that you keep implying there is something wrong with being Australian. I will always recognise the blood of my grandparents but I'm not going to associate with any country other than the nation I was born and live. Ricciardo is the same.

Jews are basically arabs who speak to a different sky wizard.. they are Semitic people.
Italians are a race.
well good for you if you feel comfortable that way, others don't and value their heritage more, that's all

Thread closed due to FranksterGM's multiple stupid comments. Well done!
