Un articol remarcabil semnat de Joe Saward despre aroganta celor de la Ferrari si incorectitudinea ca ei primesc acele sume enorme. O sa dau paste la partea din articol cea mai relevanta http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2014/07/15/arrogance/ "OK, not great poetry but these are wise words and rather similar in tone to General de Gaulle’s pointed remark about the graveyards of the world being filled with irreplaceable men. Times moves ever onward and empires rise and fall. It was ever thus. If one applies this thinking to Formula 1 it is clear that Ferrari needs Formula 1 rather more than Formula 1 needs Ferrari. The Italian super car manufacturer is a good brand to have in F1. The red cars incite passion, just as once the powder blue Bugattis did, but do no longer. Ferrari does not advertise its products, allowing the sport to do that on its behalf. In addition to providing incalculable free advertising, the sport pays the Italian team for the privilege of having its red cars running around in the midfield. It is wrong and will remain wrong until someone comes along and fixes it. This underlying imbalance in finance is the root cause of many of F1’s stresses and strains. If all the teams were treated in a similar fashion, with their importance based on their results alone and none of them being favoured by a commercial rights holder who cares only about profit margins, then there would be a great deal more opportunity for unity and growth. Injustice is divisive. To hear that Ferrari boss Luca Montezemolo is now going around saying that it is his duty to fix the sport is galling. Yes, he can fix the sport if he gives back the estimated $120 million that Ferrari gets each year BEFORE any prize money is divided between the teams. That would be a good start. Then he could get his team performing on a level that does not make Ferrari fans feel awkward and finally, when he has achieved all of this, then perhaps his voice would carry more weight. All that he is achieving at the moment is annoying people who love the sport. If he does not like what he has now – to which at some point he must have agreed, because Ferrari has also had veto rights to the rules for almost a decade – then he should do the right thing: pack up all the red paraphernalia and post it to Le Mans, where the Automobile Club de l’Ouest would laugh when the Ferrari begging bowl was thrust towards it. Montezemolo has been banging on about the new rules all season and all it has caused so far is a red face. He complains that the drivers are being held back by fuel limits and tyres. Has not racing always been about driving to the limits of the rules and/or the equipment? It has never been about equal equipment. Did Ferrari dominate in the summer of 1961 because it had the best drivers? Why are the Mercedes not being held back by the same things? F1 is still about the best man winning in the best car. Vedeti de ce Ferrari reprezinta raul suprem in F1?

Articol interesant. Este din 2002, dar este vorba despre duelul Mclaren-Ferrari si interferentele FIA la insistentele Ferrari in regulamentul tehnic pentru a favoriza Ferrari nu doar asupra lui Mclaren ci a asupra tuturor echipelor din F1. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/1779986.stm
