Ferrari - Loosing it all ???
Am kinda made to eat my own words.....from the time of my last post and now. There seemed to be no looking back for Schumi and Ferrari in the last season. If Ferrari and Schumi thought they could ride that wave, well its time they come out of the wrong illusion. The competitors reacted late...but there sure were signs of strong competition showing up as the season came to an end last year.
The only thing that remains unchanged from last season to now is the hard work and competitive spirit that every other formula 1 team is put to drive Ferrari out of the pole position. Renault (especially Alonso, who is considered next best driver to Schumi in driving skills) is given a run for Ferrari's money.
Bridgestone tryes don’t seem to be performing....well, Ferrari is still holding on to them, because the better the competition, the better the tyres and better for you (Bridgestones advertisement goes like that)....hmmn, it certainly hasn't gone Ferrari's way in any of the 4 Races so far. They may have to reassess their choice of the tyre vendor, when none of the competitive cars are using them.
Hopefully, the Scarlet Team will find a much reliable car for the European tracks. The desperate move to get the premature 2005 version of the car for the Bahrain Grand Prix did have some bright spots...but lasted much less than the flashes in the fire pan.
Now, I am looking forward to a competitive car and better performances from Ferrari...so that the Tifosi has something to cheer up.
Long live the competition - The road to success is "Always under Construction".

Well, the very fact that Ferrari out performed the competition was what gave Ferrari the advantage in the last 2 seasons.
This season, i am wondering if complacency has set in?
If I remember right, Ferrari launched their new cars much earlier during the racing season. Being a leader and also a team with strong financial strength, the time to new car development should be quick and not be as long as they have taken this year.
There are no words to describe competency of Schumi...but lets also not take away the credit from Alonso...who is proving a very strong case to be the next Schumi.
Kimi and Fisichella are great drivers too...but i think technically Alonso is next best to Schumi.
Yep...and as i mentioned earlier...the race at San Marino this weekend will clear the most important question - "will this be Ferrari's year or not?"
