1. Which ideas of James Allison are you talking about?
The whole car. Obviously you're not familiar with internal Ferrari politics, so this is the general MO:
- Take ideas from another team or from an individual within the team.
- Politically destroy individual, apportion blame and pass off their ideas as their own.
- Ride on the wave of those ideas until one or both of the following happens:
- Ideas run out of development mileage within the current regulations. That happened this year.
- There is a change in the regulations and it's back to square one.
- Go to 1.
2. Seems like you've already realized even before seeing Leclerc's first performances in the Ferrari. Respect!
How Ferrari handle the obvious new guy coming in and Vettel's obvious attempts to politically outflank him will be interesting. Ferrari simply cannot manage drivers.
3. This approach doesn't make any sense - not even a bit.
When was Ferrari's last championship again? I forget. They've supposedly had two good seasons.......and haven't won anything.
It remains to be seen how much longer Fiat will fund this political circus now that they have the name they really want in the sport, Alfa, and they can run that team much cheaper, with better facilities and less political and media nonsense.
