Ferrari. Bad Losers?
Can't believe the quote I've just read by Montezemolo
FFS It's the same for everyone, except Ferrari who ignore the testing agreement. And they still bloody complain 
Montezemolo was also critical of the 2005 regulations, which he suggested have been designed to handicap Ferrari.
"It was extraordinary to win six world championships in a row.
But now rules have been made which I don't consider suitable for F1 and which have turned out to be efficient in limiting the excessive power of Ferrari."

It's true, all the teams pay Ferrari to stay in the Championship 
Paul Stoddart blew the lid on this one over the winter and upset Max and Burnie - it was meant to be a secret.

it was not revealed how the payment works.. but I suspect it is not a payment from one team to another as such.... just that Ferrari gets a bigger slice of the pie from the TV rights than the other teams.. and this is justified on the basis that the TV money would not be as big if Ferrari was not there.. something to do with their heritage..
old Monte is a bad loser anyway..
I am still a bit sore over the BAR Honda episode.. if anybody has anything to complain about.. they have..

Ferrari used to be an exciting proposition when they were soldiering on with that thirsty but glorious V12 whilst everyone else was on V10s (or V8s in Benettons case 
) With some exciting but flawed drivers at the wheel - Alesi and Berger
