It's not how start but how you finish.
I see Fred has requested a review into the Sainz penalty. Wonder how that will go?
Forza Jules
Vasseur given the green light by upper management to find professionals abroad(U.K.????) and recruit them.
It's gonna be awhile before this team fights it's way to the front.
Good Luck Vasseur.

Since the days of Todt/Brawn, Ferrari made a very clear goal to be as Italian as possible and it has proved to be an utter failure. What foreigner would want to be the first quality engineer to join a team that had that narrow minded philosophy for the better part of 15 years?
And now rumors of a law that fines people for speaking English. Italy is sounding like a horrific place to live or visit.
Law on language is something I don't support, as I imagine many will not. I agree with DJTaurus in not making this a political conversation. The point is things like this can only help detour foreigners from joining Ferrari. Given the vast majority of Formula 1 experience is from the UK, who's going to want to pack their bags and move to Italy with Ferrari's Italian-only matters culture and the countries potential laws against English?
The vast majority of F1-1 fans and the team most wanted to be with; driver wise; is and always will be FERRARI !
Your wording is incorrect and misleading. Italy 'proposed' the language law. They haven't imposed anything. One far right politician proposed it and the Italian government said they are not pushing for it. It will never become law anyway. There is no way to properly police it and it's all a storm in a tea cup
She who? These days, not being woke is considered far right so I wouldn't take it seriously. The suposed proposed law will never come into effect. Storm in a tea cup. Anyway, Ferrari's problems doesn't stem from some random Italian saying 'enit' at the end of his sentence
Changing the subject somewhat Ferrari have found a successor for Sanchez..........Fabio Montecchi. Apparently he has been with the team since 2004.
Forza Jules

LMAO. Nice deflection dude. There is a huge difference between not being happy with Ferrari's current form and how it's been run versus accusing them of being cheats.
But coming from you, it's hardly surprising. Afterall, you are the guy who was cheering RB's overtake on Ferrari back in 2021.
I guess to you, Ferrari founding a loophole and using it as an advantage is "cheating", but RB overspending by 7 million over the allocated budget cap is cleaver accounting.
It's quite obvious that you love RB. But this is not a place for that. Take your "love" somewhere else.
Hmmm, storm in the tea cup you say, but the reality is quite different. Italy is already one of the toughest places for a foreigner to settle in. So no wonder they can't attract Newey or any of his protégé's.
And Italian politics is absolutely garbage.
The examples are right Infront our eyes. Just look at Ducati and compare their results before and after Audi took over. Ferrari needs exactly something like that. As long as it's under the umbrella of FIAT and as long as people like Elkann and Vigna are allowed to run the show, it will not improve.
So Ducati's success is due to good management and investment and nothing to do with foreign enigeers struggling to settle in Italy? If Ferrari can't employ top foreign engineers then surely Ducati would have had the same issue. Ferrari's top brass might need replacing but that's a different discussion. Ferrari's problems are in no way linked to Italians wanting to speak Italian or the country being difficult to settle in
