This got me thinking, is Ferrari bigger than drivers in Italy?
What would happen if Vet was Italian and winning multiple WDC in the RBR like he does. Would they still support Ferrari, Italian fans seem far more loyal than us lot.

That's very true I guess. Can't argue with that. The question is would they boo as much if it wasn't Seb on top.

Pretty much.

Seb is just an added bonus.

As a teenager I watched through the Schumacher domination era...

Might have complained like the Vettel domination but I still watch.

Sky hasn't impressed me but that;s another thread.

YAY! Alesi!!!!!!!

Its the casual fans that stop watching. A spike of British success between Schumacher and Vettel also skews the figures.

I think the correct order in Italy is...

1) Ferrari
2) God
3) Pope
4) Drivers

Anyway, back to McLaren.

As they haven't got a 4th place yet, this IS their worst season since their first F1 season in 1966.

Still... looking on the bright side... we're over half way through the season so not much more humiliation to go.

Yeah it must be really getting to him, judging by how his performances have dropped...

You're a strange poster

Perhaps offer the teddy bear to Hamilton.

AshD93 · 8 Sep 2013 at 14:46

Oh god. Doesn't Hamilton think how much he also demotivates the team by speaking like this?

So the car drives itself?

Quick. Best call the FIA.

Even if they did, the levels of consistency in the FIA mean they'd probably only ban it on the basis of a coin flip

Small wonder RBR seems to rub some people up the wrong way

After all the stick over the years he's had, it's no surprise.

I hope massa doesn't keep that seat it's time for him to find a retirement drive helping a small team or change career. Unfortunaly I think he will keep it.
