[PURE PASSION]

I will be happy to do so, when that stupid covid subsides a bit. I suffer from Diabetes so as you can imagine I can't be too careful.

Whenever you're ready !!!

Leclerc himself said he had issue :
"....And it was always also very tricky because I was struggling quite a lot with my energy and had to manage that too. But then after the third lap (after pitstop), I think I was in a better window with it and could push again and manage to have a bit of margin to manage my race"

Thank you .I havent read that.

Completely agree with you! Who ever can, and is into Formula 1, have to go to a race. As I am from Belgrade, Serbia, closest track to me is Hungaroring in Budapest. I've been going there almost every year since 1995. Beside that I've been once in Barcelona - 2001, and Abu Dhabi 2014 and 2016.

By the way, when you guys started the talk about attending GPs... I think it's going to be a wonderful season to be at Monza this year. Anyone going? I am planning to do so and it would be awesome to make a little scuderia.net event :)

Some of us old farts are heading for our 20th anniversary. I believe Greig is going to arrange a big party to celebrate..

Well I can beat that, not on TSN, but been a tifoso since 1967 and through all the highs and lows, TSN just helps this old f**t to let off steam with fellow tifosi, so thanks for that!

Not too bothered by the little new talkative members?

I fell in love with Ferrari when I moved to Italy as a 10 yr old watching Prost and Mansell in 1990, nothing has changed, I am still in love.

Forza Ferrari Sempre

For myself it was the F1-86 with M. Alboreto, i was eleven
The car was a truck..., so it learnt me patience

Even in tough years we had some beautiful cars.F60 was a beautiful car...even F14T was beautiful to me ...but this years car is in another league.
To me F300 also will always be an iconic car..that was the car which started the golden Schumacher area.It was not the fastest...but it was beautiful and the base for F399 and F1 2000.
Imagine after years to talk about Sf75 as a car which started another golden age.

With Italy crashing out of the world cup,it will have to be up to ferrari to deliver some sunshine,to a nation who are wounded by there nation failing once again for world cup qualification.

Monza with competitive Ferrari that would be dream!!! For years I am planning to go there, as it is always at the begging of September when is also my birthday.
That would be great!

As a 49 this September, I started around that time 85, 86 with Alborete, Johanson...

[Brembo]

Ferrari was and is my favorite team. I made it through this forum as the only Rubens fan ! It was actually funny how the team was second to whatever took place with the trio in charge, Todt, Ross, their boy.

[paolo lalli]

I go way back to when f1 was in Adelaide south Australia we used to drive there from Sydney talk about a rd trip alright with mates,worth every moment and klms,just to see the red cars.

Wow!

My first GP was Brands 1972 - age 13 - decided to follow Jackie Stewart. Stuck with Tyrrell. When Jody left to go to Wolf in '77(?), I 'went with him' and then to Ferrari in '79(?). Haven't looked back!

Joined TSN in 2003 I guess..

I feel the same - speaking as a supporter of Norwich City FC..

[Gilles]

We'll all scare the young on this forum, don't you think?

[Rosso Corsa]

I started following Ferrari in the mid 80s. My first memory of F1 was sat between my dads knees, and he was turning my head like a steering wheel when the cars on TV would turn. It was brilliant. I remember asking him which car was the fastest, and he replied "the red ones". And that confused me, because there were cars ahead of the red ones. But my dad was always right, and so from that moment, I've supported the red ones. And for sporadic periods of my time following them, they have indeed been the fastest. Maybe he was on to something.

I feel your pain. When you include mediocre players in your side , what else do you expect ? but thats for another debate ( i'm livered beyond words really )

All fingers crossed for at least a very competitive car and that we can challenge for the top spot. At least i'll get joy out of watching our team

Tech upgrades for Saudi-Arabia - mainly for better cooling & less downforce:

Mercedes: Rear wing (flaps), Front wing (flaps), bigger rear cooling louvre

Red Bull: Brake cooling (front), Rear wing (profile & endplate), Beam wing

Ferrai: Rear wing (profile)

I was born into this team, used to go watch F1 races in Italian bars with my Dad on Sunday mornings before Church lol! Back then, the only way to watch the races here was in Italian bars as they had satellite dishes (unless you could afford your own satellite dish, which cost a fortune in the early 80's). Alboreto was my favorite driver growing up, may he rest in peace!
