    Big news for the day:
    So Long Montezemolo
    Shocking, but not surprising, if that makes sense.

    kinda sad news! I like him, always thought he was a character!

    Well don't feel too bad, he isn't hurting for dollars and will head some other Ferrari this or that. Think of the last 7 years and you'll feel better :P

    He WAS a character though.

    I think the Ferrari Brand itself will suffer, this Fiat guy seems like a clown, just profit driven.

    Apparently Luca said (before he exited) "Ferrari is now American

    Doesn't matter, after 7 years of poor/outright terrible performances and this is all inevitable. Give the new guy a chance before writing him off.

    I'd keep Luca in charge of Ferrari road cars. I just believe in his vision for the company.

    I think keeping Ferrari (production) cars limited is a good idea, not increasing production like the fiat guy wants and is set to do.

    The F1 side of things, ya, change perhaps needed to happen.

    Luca helped make Ferrari what it is, even after this slump, I'm still a fan.

    Yep, I agree too, it was fantastic. I saw it in theatres, but the blu ray just arrived in the mail this week ;)

    The Hunt v Lauda Doco is great and I've watching old season reviews from the 70's and from Senna's era whenever I can get my hands on it. Reading up about Hunt and Lauda's relationship. They lived together while they were racing Formula 3.

    Entertaining. Merc's reliability has to be among the worst now?
    Qualifying was a let down come Q3 for us Ferrari fans, looked so hopeful!

    Next up Japan, I don't expect a good showing from the Prancing Horse on that track.

    The SC messed up everything for us.

    Really sounding like Alonso is on his way out of Ferrari. That sucks (for Ferrari and their fans). Looks like money talks, McLaren!

    I'd like to see Alonso at Red Bull, Vettel can go to Ferrari, after the way Alonso left McLaren last time, I'm surprised he would want to return, having said that...as you said, "money talks"
