    As an engine supplier they can do as they want but their stats as a TEAM stop the moment they walk out.
    Which I believe they will sooner than later.

    That's what I mean, their stats will look better in terms of win percentage vs Ferrari whereas they simply walked away from the sport and became an engine supplier. That's what bothers me about it.
    Rest in Peace Leza, you were a true warrior...

    yeah, but Ferrari is STILL the most successful them in terms of having won the most WCC's and WDC's in the F1's history, 16 and 15 respectively
    So 2023 started off bad, but managed to claw back some lap time come end of the year. Lets hope SF24 will give us tifosi something to smile about.

    Yes, but percentage-wise, not so good. And that's an argument I remember having with McLaren fans back in the day.

    If they talk about wining percentage , we will talk about how many races did they attend and how much heritage their team has compare to our team

    don't forget there's atleast 2 additional constructor titles that Ferrari would have if the constructors title existed since 1950

    Noone cares bout percentages, but the english race teams fans because that makes them feel good inside.
    But the truth of the matter is , if they stuck around the way Ferrari also did, their stats would suck , and that's the bottom line.

    And when they 're reminded of that cold fact, they shut up .
