youre not a representation of all Ferrari followers though are you, i have read posts of these fans and not just here wanting new drivers after some bad races. this is crap if you ask me!

No, as I've said many times I don't see myself as a ferrari fan. But I think it was a reasonable assumption that your comment was directed at me since you quoted what I said. But thanks for the clarification.

In any case I think we see things differently. You are obviously big on loyalty - picking a team or a driver that you like and then sticking with them through good times and bad. Fair enough. That's my approach in football but not F1.

Yea i have read you support drivers over teams from previous posts of yours.
do you follow the AFL by any chance? even most of those supporters bag their players and coaches when times are tough, guess its just human nature

I follow AFL but not very passionately. Am more into the kind of football where you use your feet more than your hands. Am more into international sports generally. I think its a hell of a lot more interesting when the world's watching.

But for AFL, Dockers fan. Certainly been doing a bit of bagging them lately, I have to say. Been to see them three times this year and they let me down each time, including against Melbourne, f gawds sake. Oh well, draft picks and all that. At least we're in front of the Eagles.

Dockers fan in Melbourne? are you originally from Perth?

i am a Crows fan and they have lost 5 in a row and dropped out of the top 8 worse of all they lost to cross town rivals Port Adelaide yesterday

anyways way off topic but you get that

bud is right to say that Ferrari fans are fickle. What's the old saying about them? When its drivers are winning races, it's because of the car, and when the drivers are not winning races, it's all down to the drivers. The tifosi's attitude to Raikkonen and Massa both, as well as some other drivers in the past, like even the great Alain Prost, shows this. Raikkonen is often lazy and inconsistent. First, the tifosi should recognise that all of the time, not just some of it. Second, as inconsistent as Raikkonen and Massa are, there is no crisis at Ferrari and they are not responsible for the team's current form. McLaren have got themselves organised and are doing what a team of their size is capable of.

Id agree with that. Mcalren have steadied the ship remarkably well. They should have been champions last year.
This year, they have a lead driver and now a car which seemingly is overshadowing the Ferrari.
Are Ferrari heading to the mid 1990s ? Raikkonen would rather fight people around the paddock and grid than on the track. Massa is trying, and he has out driven the World Champion, but for me he hasn't got that world championship edge.

I thought last year's WDC chase was exciting yet this year's hunt is even more intense imo. This could be Lewis's year as he has driven like a champion the last two race's and if his current form continue's he may be unstoppable.

Maybe we will see Williams dominate like they did in the 1990s.
