^^ I think thats a fairly competitive line up for Ferrari in the circumstances. Atleast Fisi will out perform Look-a-how-bad-you-are

Very good news for Fisi! When he moved to Force India after Renault, I was thinking he was turning out to be like Michele Alboreto in the last years of his F1 career - just making up the numbers. Last weekend at Spa definitely proved me wrong, and now with the Ferrari drive! I hope he does well.

Might this provide the perfect opportunity for Fisi to call it a day at the end of the season? An Italian in a Ferrari at Monza - the crowd will go wild. But next year, it's either Alonso/Massa/Raikkonen at Ferrari, and Luizi in at Force India. Do it like Mika - go out on a high, not making up the numbers in an uncompetitive car.

^ No Fisi is going to be Ferrari's reserve driver for 2010 (test driver).

Cool, cool...autosport.com is quoting Domenicali stating Fisi for the 2010 test driver role. Good news again for Fisi!

Fisi as a Ferrari test driver would be good for him. i'm sure he'd like to race, but i was thinking the same thing...this is his final curtain call. i can't imagine Ferrari would want to keep LB after his race performance. it's a shame the test drivers don't have more of a chance to drive though.

so he wento from a car that he knows about for the past year and a half, to jump into a car that he's never driven... greeeat.

at least monza is mostly all straights.

I have a feeling that if he would have stayed at force india, he would be more competitive than in the ferrari.
