Montezemolo speaks
From January 13th issue of Autoweek, to F1 journo Alan Henry.
At Ferrari, the status of the No. 1 driver is determined by the time sheets. It is not decided by God or what the journalists or what the team might think, but by his sheer speed. And Michael has been consistently the fastest Ferrari driver since 1996. |

It's no suprise that all the anti-schu's have suddenly become quiet.

I think it is about time we laid this chestnut to rest. How many more pro-anti SchM bashes do you want to endure?

Well this is one of the few actual quotes from someone IN THE KNOW. Not wild and mindless press speculation

I think John Toad, SchM, Brawn, also are in the know, and quite honestly I wouldn't believe any of them regarding this contentious subject either. But if you want to provoke another SchM bash, go right ahead.

Yep, we've already seen this before. We don't need to keep on seeing it. Nothing more than flaming...

Im not provoking a bash. The bashes are based on incorrect facts. Im just pointing out one of the few instances where someone lays the situation out as it is.
How is Montezemolo an ass? he seems like one of the better guys in F1 |

He's responsible for the 2002 Austrian GP incident and the wrong person gets the blame

BTW, during the ITV f1 christmas special Max Mosley was talking about tyres and he said about the bridgestones being deisgned for Ferrari then corrected himself and said that they were designed for one man, Michael Schumacher.
However, yes, Michael Schumacher is a brilliant driver, and yes, he is better than Rubens. Last edited by Mr V; 10 Jan 2003 at 09:00. |

Also, since he was 'consistently' faster, it is a logical (as opposed to stupid) managerial decission to give him the new car 'before' his teammate, if two cars are not available. No big mystery here Mr V. |

Re: Re: Montezemolo speaks
It's best not to take a risk by debuting both contenders while reliability is still a concern.

Red, note the little "smilie" it was meant in good humour, did you read my post under it where i said that i thought that Michael is a brilliant driver and better that Rubens? why didn't you reply to that?

Well, Mr V, I did notice the smilie, as well as the second post. (actually I saw it after I hit reply for your first).
The fact that you consider him a brilliant driver is not news to me, but actually that's not the subject of this thread; this one is about the rationale behind team politics at Ferrari. And the other 2 comments fits better in this context. Even though they were made in good humour, I suspect that they are not actually too far from your opinion. (And I do not agree with them)... Cheers, Red |

I personally don't have a problem with it towards the end of the season when the other/second driver has no mathmatical chance left himself. Last edited by Mr V; 10 Jan 2003 at 11:24. |

Yeah, 6th race was not towards the end of the season, I kinda agree. 38 points behind Michael Schumacher was not 'towards'. That was the end for Rubens' season.
