You know what the majority of you fail to realise is that Michael Schumacher has had significant input into the F60 over winter because Kimi could care less about car development. I guess Michael is not the car development genius everyone thought he was.

So perhaps....just perhaps, a certain Brit was the binder that made the Ferrari sauce sweet to taste.

Silly season has certainly come early for tifosi. Alonso and Vettel on the same team is about as laughable as the current F60. Who is making the car still? What did Nikki Lauda say again? Oh...the 'Pasta Culture.'

Remember it's not the driver...it's the car....ask Hamilton. An allegedly good driver should be good no? But ah....he is nowhere this season. Can't even get to Q2 with his teammate.

But dude, you've gotta realize that Schumi is working only in a consultant capacity and may not have as much stake as the drivers do. So dont go bashing him.

And watch who you are calling a Tifosi. I am an F1 fan that used to root for Honda and now roots for Brawn, but does not bash the other teams.

Ya MS' input was BEFORE the diffuser screw up, now with no in season testing, exactly what testing is MS to do to improve the car???

So now RB is giving feedback on the car too? You really are out of touch with reality!!!

Speaking of drivers for Ferrari, as much as I would like to see this, I doubt it will happen...

Rossi to Ferrari In Third Car ?

Valentino Rossi has indicated he might be willing to switch to formula one in 2011 if Ferrari will run a third car.

At the press conference with Max Mosley and Bernie Ecclestone in Paris last Wednesday, Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo told reporters that part of the peace deal was an indication that the works teams are prepared to field three cars apiece.

Multiple MotoGP champion Rossi, an Italian, has tested Ferraris before and a few years ago openly considered replacing Rubens Barrichello at the Maranello outfit.

The 30-year-old remains under contract to Yamaha for 2010, but amid the FOTA-FIA war, it was rumoured that wherever Ferrari was headed in the near future, Rossi could be part of the plans.

"I am quite happy about it, it could happen in 2011 -- why not?" he is quoted as saying by Italian media.

Rossi indicated that Ferrari running a third car in formula one could be his opportunity to switch to four wheels.

"In 2010 I have a contract with Yamaha so it would be difficult or even impossible. What's more, Ferrari do not have a third car and I have taken no decision about changing sport," he added.

I'm thinking you are missing some of the facts here.
