Believe it or not Ioan, I consider myself on the very fringe of being tifosi.

I have always had great respect for Ferrari in both good and bad times, though I admit their dominance in recent years past made the sport boring for a while.

I thought I was going to lose my mind today when they put Kimi on full wets. Even as they were doing it I was thinking better to make him wait and run back for intermediates or dry tires again!

But, they will rise again. Massa on that podium for the final victory last year was the energy they need to bring back.

As I said, unexpected faces around here, but it makes me happy to see this.

IMO the team's management is failing under pressure again. But it's only their own fault that they are in this position again.
They need a better strategists, there is no question about that. Luca Baldisseri is trying to guess the future instead of going with what he sees on track.

Every lap Kimi did on full wets with a dry track lost him enough time for a pit stop. The maths were very simple, even if the rain would have come one lap later it would have been better to keep him on slicks and than pit again for wets.

This was worse than amateurish.
