And there is this.From Leo Turrini's blog.Whats your opinion??Every now dear friends urge me.
But why do not you say something about the new Ferrari?!?
Ah here.
I know something.
I spoke with someone.
I saw something.
I'm quiet, in silence, because the shock of 2016 has left heavy marks on my Pellacchia.
Then, coming back from a delusional presentation of the book on Drake along the mythical engineer Forghieri, I understand.
Soundtrack for the Red in 2017.
Abba.
Anthem hypotheses, choice of cloggaro player.
Mamma mia (Here I go again ....)
Dancing Queen.
Waterloo (aaarggghhhhhh!)
Sos (aaaarggghhhhhh)
Fernando (no, come on, this no, come on)
Knowing me, knowing you (that is, we know the story, right?)
Forghieri says that the Old Abba liked a lot. Mo goes there.

FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
As wacc said in post #450: "I have set my mindset a long time ago so that I cannot be disappointed anymore." and that is exactly describing myself prior to this new 2017 season...
One thing That I'm secretly deluding myself into believing is that Sergio Macchione has the shrewd business acumen that we keep hearing he's got and, after learning from last years mistakes, is intentionally having engineers leak misleading information to the press so Ferrari can surprise everyone. It's a long shot I know! But he has said that he's learned from last years mistakes of saying we will win from race 1, and hasn't really said anything. We were hearing positive murmurings - so I'm hoping he's met with the engineers and told them to adjust the message until the car hits the track.
It would be win/win! The media would get the story and their sales/clicks - and Ferrari would come out from race one and snatch all the headlines.
To be honest, I don't know why this is not their strategy if it isn't? It just seems like good business. Thoughts??
I'm "forever the optimist" for the most part & after following F1 & rooting for Ferrari all that time, I don't get too down when the Scuderia has down years. Started following in 1969 (by reading the results monthly in "Road & Track" magazine!) so am used to seeing some down times. I don't live & die with the team, it is a sport after all. At least that's how I look at it although I probably have mellowed more & more as the years passed.
I still get excited this time of the year no matter how bleak things appear, just can't help myself! I guess the difference is maybe I don't get too upset if the season starts & we don't look so good. I just look for small positives & still enjoy watching the sport.
I have to confess, here in Buffalo I follow the NHL Sabres who have never won a Stanley Cup & the NFL Buffalo Bills who went to the Super Bowl 4 times in a row & lost all 4 of those games, so maybe I've just become numb to it all... Yikes!!
At least in F1 I have experienced championship winning Ferrari teams, so I'm thankful for those times & will keep the faith until they do so again.
Forza Ferrari !

I am similar to you Abbottcostello - I chose Ferrari as my team to follow when I was around 6 years old, I am now 47. Before MS and his team came along there were many years like the last few we have just had. I always get excited around now, this year is no exception, I always very much hope for the best of course, but I never get too down during the bad years, been there many times. I very much remember the good ones, they will come again
Its Lewis Hamiltons #....and in the F1 anilisa technica message the pic they use....its him driving it...I posted picks of his helmet earlier in this post. I'm surprised the Italian Media sources have yet to pick it up but the artist I believe is IMO using a "hidden message."
Fans throwing in the towel on the basis of one article which is probably not even true? LOL pathetic really.....
Forza Ferrari
And then again...maybe its not the artist per say. Maybe due to the fact that the "art" of this hypothetical rendition of the new 2017 F1 car just looks "cool and sexy" that the media sources decided to use it on their pages. Also, this is also hypothetical, but Vettels contract ends 2017 beginning 2018 as well as Hamiltons with MB......so too Alonso......and Valteri Bottas just got a one year contract with MB after moving from Williams and his ends at the same time as Vettels and Hamilton(Elton for you Brits).....and Alonso...so just throwing that out as to what the artist might be hinting. IMHO, I doubt LH leaves MB....its a pretty "crappy" position for VB....but the other 3 is open for debate...until then it will be interesting.
Look at the helmet in this pic....its got a Scuderia Ferrari logo on the forehead area....just saying

Here is another one without the driver but the #44 remains.

Like so many of us, I've been a tifoso since 1967 so have been through all the highs and lows, you have to be prepared for anything and when you read something in the press or online that is negative, it will obviously be painful. I also think that the Italian press are not known for being kind to Ferrari, and more often than not try to paint a bleak picture, maybe just to get headlines or give the team a kick up the backside! The fact that Ferrari haven't made any official comments is probably just as well, after last year's failures.
Just found this in a Greek Ferrari group on Facebook.
In find it terrible. YOU???

FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
yes....its awful if you want my opinion. Also, the front wing? its too small from an "aero" perspective in that it does not direct air over the tires and chassis; not enough elements/cascade's to direct the air where it needs to go given the design. Nose is too long as well from a wheelbase perspective. Rear wing??? No DRS????....thats my two cents.
100% not real, though maybe explains where the "strange shapes on the 2017 car" rumours came from.
