I don't know if firing someone is appropriate, but MM knows what to do:
“After Canada it was important to get together and talk and to clear the air and to let them understand there is a clear direction that we want to take,” he explained. “And we have an understanding about which are our weaknesses, and there is a leadership that is working to fill up those weaknesses. In terms of the master plan or the strategic plan, I think the key points I would like to keep for ourselves. I would not give further advantage to our competitors.”
I can already hear you saying: "We've heard all that before".

Sounds like Ferrari fans grasping at straws and trying to blame the only supplier they know of, in this case Honeywell has been the only confirmed 2014 Turbo manufacturer.

Some others might say "a good tradesman doesn't blame his tools".

Coming up through the ranks, young drivers are lauded for their ability to put their bum in anything and go fast. Yet, apparently, once you get to F1 that rule goes out the window?

I can certainly disagree with that, simply because it's impossible to measure in a precise, realistic, non-biased way. For the rest - Crappy article. Of course the car is tailored and more suited to Alonso, no one has expected anything else. And at the same time no one worries about Kimi, either, except for his fans. He said it on the Austria GP team radio: Give me more power! There's no clearer message than that.

It reads like a forum rant. Full of handwaving, unsubstantiated claims and opinions stated as fact. Overall, pretty uninformative. Using the autosport forums and planet F1 as sources is also streching the credibility. I stopped reading after this gem:
...Immediately Kimi looked like a different driver. But was he? Had he “woken up”? Of course not, you mongrels! He finally had a car under him that he could trust and a frontend that behaved to his liking. The car was still crap and seriously lacked downforce but it got him podiums...

Is a great piece if you are a Kimi fan with the need to find excuses (some are valid) and the need to give Alonso no credit. I prefer Allison's words, both drivers have problems with the car, both drivers give the same feedback, one is driving better than the other.

P.d: I'm not denying that Kimi has less "luck" and a little more technical problems, but he is not performing well at all.

What drivel. The article says that on level terms that Alonso has nowhere near the speed of Kimi. Yet, you claim we all need to read it. Funny.
