Best commentator quote of the day when Alonso was behind Williams AGAIN.

"Fernando must know very rivet in the wing of that car".

New logo is so basic. I know a lot of kids at CalArts here in Valencia, CA or those from California College of the Arts in San Fran could have done a better job.

He wants to keep winning and Mercedes has the better car, I don't see why he would want to go to Ferrari.

Ferrari would find its way in getting him. They own F1

Liberty might have something to say about that these days. I don't think they are interested in coddling Ferrari like in the past.

Jar in this world we live in now. Money still speaks a million words.
Not pessimistic but Im more realistic. It will come.

Do you think F1 will survive without Ferrari?
Yes it will... but it would be another race series. I think.

But on the other flip side of a coin...people change, the only constant in this world is CHANGE!

Who would think cars would be running electric and H2O 20 years ago?
Better yet autonomous cars.

I hate living those days. Im happy with NA and manual cars.

JARblue

I don't think F1 needs Ferrari. I think Ferrari brings a lot (of fans) to the equation. But Liberty has figured out that other teams can bring a lot to the table as well. Ferrari is too old school maybe?

Plus he's German. There are several reasons why he'd drive for Mercedes.

Ok so Hamilton deserves to be with McLaren because his British?

Well he did drive for Mclaren....Just as Jenson did...Just as Coulthard did.

There is a fair bit of nationalism that comes along with Formula 1, and in sports in general.

You finding it surprising Schumacher would drive for Mercedes was my reasoning for stating the "obvious". Blissfully undermining the fact he already had a history with Mercedes, the mark being a key proponent behind him even racing in F1.

Ferrari being the most nationalistic of them all. Favoring and supporting Italian drivers whenever they possibly can. Even considering the use of Rossi at some point in time (although just highly speculated rumors) over several veteran and skilled F1 drivers for the sake of having an Italian driver in a Italian car. The majority of their staff and engineers being Italian even in the face of several others countries wanting to be apart of the team. James Allison even hinted at the problems behind Ferrari's nationalistic tyranny.

He also won his first championship in a Benetton....

Yes I Was surprised when he did come back after having 6 titles from Ferrari then drive for Mercedes instead of Ferrari. What Im saying this drivers have a job to do and no brand loyalty nor by it ethnic backgrounds. That is why I said I wont be surprised if Hamilton would drive for Ferrari in the future.

Agreed but why Ferrari did not setforth in giving the seat to an Italian driver? Because they need to have the higher percentage of winning right?

Again the same argument one way or another they will get Hamilton if Sebastian
would not give what the Italians wanted.

The drivers has a job to perform and they will drive with the team with deepest financial chest, aerodynamic technology and the car that will bring them the chance of getting the drivers championship.

Besides Ferrari makes more money than selling cars through their merchandise, sponsorship and TV right exposure. Win or loose they make money with F1. Winning the Championship just makes it more special.

2017 would have Ferrari winning the title if not only the Singaporian incident happend and Ferrari having technical issues at the later part of the season.
