F1 » Ferrari chief blames 'bad rules', 'presumption' for slump

Ferrari's 2009 F1 title challenge has been thwarted by the 'bad rules' within the sport, blasts Luca di Montezemolo - and, he concedes, by the team's own presumptuousness...

I almost thought he was going to provide a balanced view for a moment. In talking about 'bad rules' he is missing the point that Ferrari aren't just performing worse than the 'Diffuser 3', they are performing worse than everyone except Force India.

It would appear the only guy making money in F1 at the moment is Luigi the Under-Ripe Grape Seller.

50kg sours to Snr Briatori,
100kg to Snr Montezemolo....

“We have seen very bad written rules, what I call grey rules, with different interpretations.” Err, Luca I thought your old "arrogant" employee Ross Brawn advised the TWG about these loopholes/grey areas before the season began. Looks like only Williams and Toyota were awake at that meeting.

In the Autosport article yesterday, LdM put Ferrari's troubles down to 3 points.

1. Badly written rules
2. KERS
3. Complacency with Ferrari

Badly written rules allowed the current debacle of the double diffusers. I agree with this. He said that if he had known KERS was optional, he wouldn't have used it in 2009. But I though everyone knew it was optional in 2009, but complusory in 2010. Misunderstanding somewhere? Complacency is easy to understand in a team that has been successful for so long.

Some would call it Karma Mr Luca....

Other teams got things spot on and you didnt, stop the complaining like a spolit child and get to work on getting yourself up the front of the grid - every other teams are doing it or had to do it...

Also who in the hell are you to say which teams are important or not?

Oh, Oh, Oh, Mr. Ferrari I thought your hirelings the Ferrari International Assistance would at least have confused non Italian teams by having the rules in a little known Italian dialect. What a bunch of winging sour faced bums blaming the rule changes rather than the complacency of an over confident team who believed they have a God given right to succeed and should now eat a little humble pie.

Just do like everyone else that lost the appeal - shut up and try to improve the car instead of complaining and threating to write off the rest of the year.
