    That's because he's barely matched his finish in the Minardi all those years ago!

    More analysis from Borat

    AMuS have been praising the Ferrari a lot this year. In the past they've taken every possible opportunity to bash Ferrari, so maybe this is Alonso's year. Also they've been quite negative about the Red Bull surprisingly.

    A lot of people saying the Red Bull is not that quick. It just seems mad to me. It seems like they have missed something and not thinking they were sandbagging (which seems pretty obvious to me).

    Or am I wrong?

    The RB9 will require the DRD I reckon for a fully working car, then the form will Skyrocket again and the FIA won't be able to ban it.

    So did Prost, and that didn't do him many favours. Wasn't he sacked for calling the car sh*t?

    At the moment Alonso has Ferrari's future in his hands to a degree, they need him to get them back to the top. Only downside for him though is that the second they becoming the team to beat Massa won't be needed anymore as they will want to sustain that run like RBR have had. In that case then Ferrari can dictate to Alonso and bring in whoever they want as the car will be viewed the best and it will most likely be Seb unless Mercedes are the team to beat 2014 onwards. If Alonso doesn't like it I reckon Ferrari will wave him goodbye as Seb would have enough experience to "run" a team since he will have 8 years of experience at that time.

    A Seb/Bianchi lineup in 2015 wouldn't sound too bad to the Tifosi considering they would in theory be the best team on the grid if Seb is tempted enough to leave RBR, though I'm sure a Seb/Alonso lineup is much more tempting to keep them at the top until Alonso retires.

    <laugh> Actually, I've thought about it: if Doktor Marko is to be believed, this will be Mark's last year in the top car; could be quite an incentive.

    C'mon Miggins, you know you want to! :wink:

    A delusion of Chilton fans? A tragedy of Chilton fans?


    Edit: seriously though, Tomtom - why?

    You're supporting someone because we dislike him?

    <laugh>

    That's brilliant mate, you've outdone yourself this time.

    So Stefano sounds pretty confident, totally at odds with what Alonso was saying. Will Ferrari make up their mind, is the car good or not?
