Give me some facts and I'll start listening

[RobH]

Alonso couldnt handle Hamilton nor could he establish himself as number one driver at Mclaren so left.

He's happy at ferrari because he has massa as his bitch similar to pique when he was at renault, unfortunately thats not how it works at mclaren.

Awww poor Alonso, that vid pretty much sums Alonso up. Its also not hamiltons fault he wouldnt deliberately crash so he could hand Alonso a world title (oh sorry i best not mention that)

Two time world champion but a complete cheat or have we all forgotten about the crashgate incident.

Regardless of whether some of you like or detest Ferrari, they are the ones who started Formula One many many decades ago and they have the established pedigree, such that all (99% of) drivers aspire to drive for them. Alonso fits into their family and Italian culture extremely well and I remember hearing him say a while ago that when he leaves Ferrari it will be to retire.

I'm sure that Lewis would love to be successful in a Ferrari but he has grown up (literally) with McLaren and they would have to fail him badly for him to move. Perhaps sometime in the future.

Lewis and Jenson make great team mates - They want to beat each other but they seem to be genuine friends.

Where do you get this "Ferrari started Formula One"? 

I can't find anything that says it was Ferrari's sport but then again that would explain the FIA's attitude towards them.

[vRS Carl]

I thought it came about when the FIA made the rules for a world championship (or something like that from a documentary I watched a while ago) back in the 50's or maybe earlier. But could be wrong.

Edit - Here we are, not sure how accurate it is from wikipedia

Ferrari is the only survivor of the original Italian teams which developed what we now call F1.

Ferrari is the team with the best pedigree and track record. It's the 'Godfather'.

[Hedge]

There you go Robin confusing fantasy and fact. Yes Ferrari were one of the originators of F1 as we now know it but you give the impression that they were the sole inventors of the sport which they clearly weren't.

Facts please not fantasy. 

Who cares if they are the oldest team I for one would bat an eyelid if they left the sport. F1 is more than just 1 team.

[RobH]

Couldnt careless if ferrari developed participated in the sport from the start, i dont like there cheating, spoilt little brat of a driver Alonso

Your right though he does fit into the italian culture of cheating just like italian football teams.

I honestly hope non of the up coming talents in Formular 1 like De resta go to ferrari and be forced to play second fiddle to gonzo and then never be taken seriously and damage their careers like Massa and Barrachelo have!!!

Hamilton would have never been the driver he was if he was forced to move over for gonzo way back in the 2007 season and if he did Alonso would more than likely still be at Mclaren with Hamilton playing second fiddle.

All imo

They need to scrub some of the F1 rules. Mix it up a bit, give the teams more power to use "every trick in the book" to make their cars quicker.

No because the top teams will make there cars so fast the lesser teams will look like there going backwards. If its for overtaking then yes, like the f duct for instance but this season has been very good with the current regulations. How boring was the redbull presession of the last two seasons

[rich83]

Well in that case then... give everyone the same IDENTICAL car....

They need to do something cos its boring. So little to do with racing and more to do with pit stops balls ups and drive through penalties etc etc
