Well once again Bridgestone have cost Ferrari a podium and decent qualifying. I have tried to defend these people for the last few seasons, but i think its time Ferrari and the other two switch to Michelin as its clear Bridgestone cant produce anything decent.
Nice to see we are back to the normal lack of entertainment, so much for new regulations slowing cars down, schumi with a new lap record. Good work Max, your competance knows no bounds.

yeah, but as the season progresses that'll change. Well for those running michelin at least. The Italian GP could be very fast this year. As will the USGP

that was the point though, they are spending too much on their cars.
what people dont realise, is Ferrari F1 are actually a small team they may have the huge budget, but not the same man power as Williams or Mclaren, this year has been hurt by the fire at their factory last year, and the simple fact they got cocky through the winter by doing nothing. they now have as it has show at imola and for a short time, barcelona, the fastest car out there. Problem is, the one thing they haven't had to deal with before is reliability, its now come back and is biting them on the ass. add that to the crap tyres they are seriously in trouble.

You can complain about the tires all you want. But it is more than the tires. Sure Bridgstone sucks this year, but the Ferrari is not as great as you make it out to be. Time to accept it Craig, Ferrari just don't have it together right now. It is not the best car out there, and if they do not get the best car, their best driver will leave, as he stated last year.

to save time and patience i wont go on a long rant but just keep it short. Ferrari have the car with the most potential, it isn't the best car out there, if they fix the problems it could be the best. The best car right now is the Mclaren too bad they have two average drivers. Ferrari have never had "the best" car not even last year, what they had was a car which was consistant it was reliable and they have two good drivers, and the best tactician in F1 in Ross Brawn. Other teams have faster cars and always will, this year reliability is very good for those teams and its that which is costing the ferraris, a problem they haven't dealt with in years. Schumacher wont retire this year if he looses, his ego wouldn't allow it.

no, he won't retire this year. His contract ends in '06. So Ferrari better get it together. MS said last year that he like racing for the win, and if he wasn't racing for the win, he would leave F-1. If Ferrari has never had the best car, how do you explain their dominance (psst, its not all Michael, sorry to inform you). They have had the best car, and they have been consistantly reliable <-key to winning is to have it all.
Ferrari have had their ups and downs. They will come back, but not as many say they will.
It seems the car is not as stable. Rubens mentioned something about weight distribution. Knowing the sensitivity of these cars, the problem is most likely some extra ego that the drivers are carrying with them in the car that is throwing the balence off.

Not saying its all Michael, however his past speaks for itself, champion in a very average car many years ago, took Ferrari from nothing to where they are now. Mansell did it for williams Senna did it for Mclaren Schumacher Ferrari and now it could be Alonso for Renault. Time will tell.
