Ferrari - A Look At The Current Situation

Ferrari seem to have built a very poor car this year. It's such a shame that they are not able to battle at the front. They've got the history, they've got a decent team of engineers and drivers. They still can't build a decent car.

If it wasn't for Fernando Alonso, they would be running in the midfield sY best. Alonso drove that car beyond its capabilities in Australia. His fifth place finish has nothing to do with the cat, for once in Formula One, it was all about the driver.

So what can they do about it? They have given Massa a new chassis, however in practice 1 & 2 it didn't seem to make a difference. They need to completely re-think their car and they need to do it fast. If they don't, they could end up loosing Alonso, never mind, this thing about giving Massa a year to prove himself.

Ferrari have such a history in the sport that it is so sad to see, just like Williams in 2011. I tell you now, without Alonso, Ferrari would be in the midfield without a doubt.

You may agree or think I'm totally off the boil here. But I want Ferrari back at the front fighting with McLaren, Mercedes and Red Bull. Who knows they may resolve whatever the issues are. We will just have to wait and see.
