    Ferrari fan, 'we're loosing so change something':

    Maranello, 14 April – The president of the Italian Olympic Committee, Giovanni Malagò, agrees with the survey run by the Ferrari website on the new Formula 1 format: “I speak on behalf of Italian sports people and fans, I don’t like this Formula 1 and in my opinion it’s delivered a product that has absolutely no sense,” said the top man of Italian sport at the launch of the Italian International Tennis tournament in Rome.“In my opinion, it’s a form of self-harm. I hope the people who run the sport look again at the rules because the way Formula 1 is now, it has much less appeal and that’s a shame as it is an extraordinary world.”At the end of March, Ferrari had organised a survey aimed at the fans, asking if the 2104 version of Formula 1 was a hit or not. The result was unequivocal, with over 80% of voters rejecting the new format, dominated by fuel management and the new power unit which lacked the all-important sound of the top category of motor sport.

    If Ferrari were on top, all would be well with the world, just as it is for Mercedes.

    It too early in to the new rules to really say if the format really is terrible or not. We're really not going to know until there are many more races under our belt. Bahrain probably papered over the cracks significantly, but the current problems aren't really down to the regulations as such, more down to one massively dominant team and others still coming to terms with the new cars.

    Calling for change now isn't going to do any good, every team just has to get on with it. Even if we went back to last years car, Ferrari would still be in a world of hurt.

    Sky Hamilton condemning Vettel for now obeying team orders it seems, 75% say he should of ignored it which is just a bit less than the time they said he shouldn't of disobeyed teams orders at Malaysia last year...

    Seriously? You haters are that bitter of the man?

    Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't with the British, hope he comes back hard and shuts them up sooner than later because the hate for him is becoming pathetic!

    Welcome to the world of the Hamilton fan. Unfortunately coming back and winning does not shut up the haters, it just irritates them more, you will find the same.
