    Nonetheless they are "Anti-Ferrari." (You can put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig")

    Would you like me to go to the last 3 race threads for you and pick some more "Anti-Ferrari" posts?

    I would say that the posts you highlight are from fans who are concerned about the team. There is nothing anti ferrari in any of them. LDM has been giving his opinion and the above are nearly all comments about what he said.
    Anti-Ferrari NEVER.

    Agreed....as am I "concerned" for the team for the past 15+ years and going forward.

    If you notice, I put the "Anti-Ferrari" in quotes because this is the narrative of someone whom used "Anti-Ferrari."

    Or are some fans not concerned enough? Critical thinking as a fan is not forbidden.

    Unsurprising. Current Italian government is imposing a low that will hand anyone speaking english a hefty fine. So why would anyone move there?

    Would only apply to public officials and government documents.

    Would not affect anyone living or working in Italy.

    I see Fred has requested a review into the Sainz penalty. Wonder how that will go?

    1) Not holding my breath.

    2) He's also had a pop at the feeble penalty handed to Red Bull for their previous cheating...

    Vasseur given the green light by upper management to find professionals abroad(U.K.????) and recruit them.

    It's gonna be awhile before this team fights it's way to the front.

    Good Luck Vasseur.

    Sounds like Italy is not a comfortable place to live if you don't speak the language.

    Since the days of Todt/Brawn, Ferrari made a very clear goal to be as Italian as possible and it has proved to be an utter failure. What foreigner would want to be the first quality engineer to join a team that had that narrow minded philosophy for the better part of 15 years?

    And now rumors of a law that fines people for speaking English. Italy is sounding like a horrific place to live or visit.

    I looked this up and found that a fine is imposed on Italians who use English or non Italian words in official communications.......no mention about expats using English in their day to day life.

    Guys relax. Where are you reading news ? CNN and BBC ? English WRITTEN ONLY language is ONLY excluded from official documents. Meloni is making Italy great again. Let’s leave politics out of our beloved forum.

    Law on language is something I don't support, as I imagine many will not. I agree with DJTaurus in not making this a political conversation. The point is things like this can only help detour foreigners from joining Ferrari. Given the vast majority of Formula 1 experience is from the UK, who's going to want to pack their bags and move to Italy with Ferrari's Italian-only matters culture and the countries potential laws against English?

    Your wording is incorrect and misleading. Italy 'proposed' the language law. They haven't imposed anything. One far right politician proposed it and the Italian government said they are not pushing for it. It will never become law anyway. There is no way to properly police it and it's all a storm in a tea cup

    Changing the subject somewhat Ferrari have found a successor for Sanchez..........Fabio Montecchi. Apparently he has been with the team since 2004.

    Are you aware how many "anti-Ferrari"(again, this is your narrative) posts, other than mine, are on this forum?
    Actually yes of course you are.
    You have zero evidences but you CHOOSE to believe what people against Ferrari choose to believe.
    Your right, however we also choose to believe you're Anti Ferrari.

    No, anti ferrari is when you choose to spew poison in a Ferrari forum saying that Ferrari cheats.

    Why you're not banned is beyond me.

    LMAO. Nice deflection dude. There is a huge difference between not being happy with Ferrari's current form and how it's been run versus accusing them of being cheats.
    But coming from you, it's hardly surprising. Afterall, you are the guy who was cheering RB's overtake on Ferrari back in 2021.
    I guess to you, Ferrari founding a loophole and using it as an advantage is "cheating", but RB overspending by 7 million over the allocated budget cap is cleaver accounting.

    It's quite obvious that you love RB. But this is not a place for that. Take your "love" somewhere else.

    Hmmm, storm in the tea cup you say, but the reality is quite different. Italy is already one of the toughest places for a foreigner to settle in. So no wonder they can't attract Newey or any of his protégé's.
    And Italian politics is absolutely garbage.

    The examples are right Infront our eyes. Just look at Ducati and compare their results before and after Audi took over. Ferrari needs exactly something like that. As long as it's under the umbrella of FIAT and as long as people like Elkann and Vigna are allowed to run the show, it will not improve.

    So Ducati's success is due to good management and investment and nothing to do with foreign enigeers struggling to settle in Italy? If Ferrari can't employ top foreign engineers then surely Ducati would have had the same issue. Ferrari's top brass might need replacing but that's a different discussion. Ferrari's problems are in no way linked to Italians wanting to speak Italian or the country being difficult to settle in
