No Hammer, I'm not an employee of SF - I guess being a Tifosi really is a special thing. We do feel part of the team, and I can tell you its a really great feeling. It's a pity you don't get that feeling (of actually being part of the team) as I wish all fans of whatever team could experience it.

So how much dividends do Tifosis get paid? Is it monthly or yearly? Just want to know how much $$$ I'm missing out by supporting the wrong team.

I'm not sure how you measure the happiness quotient each Tifosi shares from our successes, and I'm equally not sure how the consolation meter accounts for making us feel better when things don't go so well, but one thing is for certain, I wouldn't give up my Tifosiness for a all the money in your bank account

Damn, what a loss for you.

So, as LCdM might put it, you're a richonaire then

Are you seriously trying to justify incorrect grammer?! Unless you are an employee of Ferrari you can't say "we" or "us"! My word, standards are slipping in this modern age.

Seeing as Red Bull won the championship, can I say we won? I'd say I can't. I would have to say they won or the team I support won.

I'm not worried about spelling. Just the "us" and "we" thing.

Is your grammar/word knowledge that bad?

There is nothing wrong with my grammar/word knowledge.

Urgh, is this argument seriously happening? Fans of teams using 'we' when talking about the team they support is (very) common slang employed as a show of support and utterly widely used... so either you've never had a discussion about sports with another person, or are just being downright pedantic. Either way, it's needless.

This season reminded me a lot of Hakkinen vs Schumacher in 1998, where McLaren had the quickest car, but Ferrari were more reliable and Schumacher was driving as well as anyone.

Very similar this season with Vettel vs Alonso - Vettel was quick in a quick car, but it was a lot more unreliable than the Ferrari, which levelled the playing field and gave Alonso a sniff of the championship.

If Ferrari can find a few tenths of a second next season, their almost perfect pitwork and their ultra-reliable car (Alonso has only failed to finish 1/58 races because of a mechanical faliure) will give Alonso a great chance of winning the title unless Red Bull and McLaren improve their reliability.

Sorry brah, but Alonso has stated it is "impossible to repeat" his performance this season....basically telling everyone and Ferrari not to expect anything more 'awesome' than this ever again...since he's trying to make people think that he apparently took a backmarker car to fight for the WDC into the last race.

Fernando Alonso says he would support Felipe Massa F1 title bid

Fernando Alonso says he would have no qualms about playing a supporting role to Ferrari team-mate Felipe Massa if the Brazilian needed it.



The Spanish driver has overshadowed Massa in the three years they have been together at the Italian squad, but the Brazilian had a much stronger second half of the 2012 Formula 1 season, during which he was faster than Alonso in some races.

Massa said on Thursday that his resurgence has left him upbeat about his chances of fighting for wins and the title in 2013.

Alonso insisted people continue to under-rate Massa, who he reckons has proven to be one of the best drivers in the F1 field.

"Sure, it is not the first time I have helped him and surely it will not be the last," Alonso said when asked if he would support Massa's title challenge if required.

"We help each other continuously, for the good of Ferrari.

"Felipe is one of the best drivers in the world. I have been repeating this for three years, and at times people look surprised when I say this during press conferences."

Alonso believes his gap to Massa in the standings in the past three years has been 'strange' and reckons they do not reflect the Brazilian's real speed.



"At the end of the 2012 season people realised he is one of the best in the world," Alonso said.

"These last few seasons there was a gap that I never had [with team-mates] in the past, and points wise it was something strange, because usually we should have been on a more equal level as far as points are concerned."

Massa, who secured a one-year contract thanks to his late resurgence in 2012, is convinced that Ferrari wants him to be as strong as Alonso rather than just playing a supporting role.

"I cannot really imagine or think about a team that does not want one of its drivers to be competitive," he said.

"It would be absurd to have just one good car, and one good driver."

Yeah, Ferrari has a budding politician in Alonso as well as a very strong driver.
