Ferrari Embarrasses Itself in Crazy Japanese Race
Oct 01, 2007
Ferrari embarrassed itself with a mad choice of tyres, failing to recognise that the track was awash, failing to notice what everyone else was doing and, oddly, failing to receive an FIA instruction which mandated the use of Extreme Wet tyres. Still, the high jinks of the red cars kept us amused in the first 19 laps of the race as the field ran behind the Safety Car. Kimi and Felipe were all over the place and while some wondered why they team was not punished for failing to obey the rules, other more practical souls asked the very valid question: who on earth gave the order for the cars to run on such tyres in such conditions?
There was a time when such things would not have happened at Ferrari. There was also a time when McLaren men would have respected their rivals enough not to laugh at them. But after the happenings in recent months, that respect has gone. They laughed at them. At McLaren there is a new F-word these days. Ferrari.
