Ferrari have reportedly made another key appointment this year as the team managed to sign Dirk De Beer, Lotus' current head of aerodynamics. He is expected to begin work at the end of the year.
I just don't see that happening. Massa has been a loyal servant to the Ferrari cause.WhiteBlue wrote:If Flipe disobeys team order this year Ferrari will have ways to punish him. They have a strong influence in the sport via their relatoopnship with Bernie and their customers. It would not be good for Massa to disregard what Montezemolo is telling him via the media.
Massa will not be bound by any obligations of silence next year. Anything they do now to discredit him now can be thrown back in their faces the minute his contract expires. True, the damage will be done then to Massa's chances of driving around, but ferrari might not be willing to take the risk. Especially because rumors are Massa will go to Lotus, which doesn't have any ties with Ferrari.WhiteBlue wrote:If Flipe disobeys team order this year Ferrari will have ways to punish him.

But if he does it would show some balls. I would love to see Monte's face if Smedley comes on the radio and tells Massa. "Felipe baby you are faster than Fernando."
Where can I read this interviews ?Gerhard Berger wrote:Yes, Rory Byrne's interviews to South African media outlets have indicated that he is only helping Fry organise the various sub teams of the technical department at Maranello. Only works 100 days a year.Kiril Varbanov wrote:Jose cites both Spanish and Italian media, but Ferrari have already officially denied this, as well as RB himself. His role will be more of a remote consultant that fully involved engineer.f1316 wrote: In other 'news' Joseluisf1 was tweeting about James Allison working with Rory Byrne for 2014. Duly take with pinch of salt, but it certainly sounds nice
instead mclaren in these last 4 years has kept all its promises!! I bet that if in 2010 they (ferrari) hadnt the wrong strategy in the last race , or if in the last year alonso hadnt had the 2 involuntary accidents, your opinion would be very different today! I want to tnk Ferrari for not having chosen the path of the irregularity to win.max_speed wrote:http://www.gptoday.com/details/view/464 ... jwXrz934qM
i dnt think ferrari will be happy about this and looking at the situation as of now , it will make sense for alonso to move on to mclaren . Last four years no titles , only false promises and ongoing restructuring. stefano has screwed up completely. even if its a bluff , its an interesting one because fernando is good for development and he will carry detailed info about ferrari engine to Honda.
In the past four years, Mclaren have not been in a position to win the title come the end of the year, this in despite the fact the 2012 car was best car and it was only poor reliability and operational errors that stopped Hamilton from winning the title.max_speed wrote:http://www.gptoday.com/details/view/464 ... jwXrz934qM

Wasn't Hamilton mathematically in the running for the title in 2010 but needed the other 3 guys to all fail to score while he won the race or something??Cold Fussion wrote:In the past four years, Mclaren have not been in a position to win the title come the end of the year, this in despite the fact the 2012 car was best car and it was only poor reliability and operational errors that stopped Hamilton from winning the title.max_speed wrote:http://www.gptoday.com/details/view/464 ... jwXrz934qM

Watch it - http://f1tv.fx1.nl/?year=2013&play=1379943532 Around 02:13 after the start.CBeck113 wrote:I didn't watch the race, so I guess this is the best place for this question: how did Alonso and Kimi act together after the race and on the podium? Were they talking alot (basically putting on a show), or their normal few words and "let's get this over with", which would be more honest and true to their characters?
I see this as a first indication of their relationship next year.
"Long run on the primes, huh?"It would be much easier logistically and hopefully turnaround time for updates will improve.diffuser wrote:I can't see that the new tunnel will be that much better than Toyota's. They have a new aerodynamicist as well.
Do you have a link or any factual information to support your belief? Would appreciate knowing why you believe this.diffuser wrote:I can't see that the new tunnel will be that much better than Toyota's. They have a new aerodynamicist as well.
