Did you hear about the new Italian tank?

It has one forward gear and 9 reverse gears. Why the forward gear? In case it gets attacked from behind.

From ITV

Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has sought to clarify comments attributed to him which called for Max Mosley to resign the FIA presidency despite winning a vote of confidence in Paris this week.

“I think he should realise that sometimes it is necessary to say to yourself, ‘I must leave for reasons of credibility’,” Montezemolo was quoted as saying by Italian news agency ANSA.

Looks pretty clear to me but we seem to have misinterpreted

However, Montezemolo distanced himself from those remarks in a statement published on Ferrari’s website on Thursday.

The statement read: “Following the statements made to Bloomberg TV and picked up by the other media, Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo wishes to make the following comment: ‘I am happy that Max Mosley has been re-elected president of FIA.

Reverse…reverse…!!!

Kimi thinking of quitting? Good

I can’t help but feel that Raikkonen is going to go down in history as one of the greatest wasted talents in Formula 1. He won an uninspiring championship last year which will be remembered for, oh, months afterwards and is refusing to deny reports that he is thinking of quitting. His performances this year have been lackluster at best and he is being trashed currently by Massa for goodness sake.

From F1-live

The speculative reports last week cited a friend who relayed that Raikkonen ‘loves the driving and hates everything else about Formula One.’

I really don’t have sympathy. He is the world champion, there probably isn’t a team who would turn him down no matter what conditions he imposed. Personally I would rather see one of the millions of racers out there who would kill for a Formula 1 seat get that seat, rather than Mr Grumpy carry on when he doesn’t enjoy it.
