    Surely it goes back to 1969 when Agnelli bought Ferrari, making them part of Turin, part of the same family as Juve, the yellow badge with the horse (il cavallino rampante) being very similar to our charging bull, the link will always be there. All Italians are fans of Ferrari, many Italians are Juve fans, so despite the founder of the scuderia, Juve & Ferrari will continue to be linked, fans loving both.

    Michael Schumacher who drove for Ferrari is a Juve fan, I don't see the connection that goes back to the days where the late Enzo was alive.
    he probably dislike ferrari (and we should do the same) because 'Enzo despised the Agnelli's' and as a juve fan thats a big no no the world revolves around juve, thats what i picked up from his post maybe im wrong

    It's too early to celebrate

    From the formula1.com

    The BMW Sauber and Williams teams are being investigated by Brazilian Grand Prix stewards over possible technical irregularities on their cars at the end of Sunday’s Interlagos race. The enquiries are believed to relate to fuel temperatures.

    Nico Rosberg finished fourth for Williams, with Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld fifth and sixth respectively for BMW Sauber. If they were to be disqualified, it would move McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton up from seventh to fourth, making him world champion, rather than Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen.

    Raikkonen won the race from team mate Felipe Massa, with McLaren’s Fernando Alonso third.

    Alonso has said today that he'd be embarrassed to see an appeal hand the title to Saint Lewis. Be glad when this matter is finished. Did you guys see Patrick Head's comments on Alonso being placed on long term gardening leave by McLaren before next season? :tup:

    Schumacher: I wish I'd been there!
    Monday, 22nd October 2007


    Seven-time champion congratulates Ferrari on title success.

    Multiple Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher has paid tribute to his former Ferrari team after seeing Kimi Raikkonen secure the drivers' title with victory in the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos.

    The Finn, who was charged with replacing Schumacher with the Scuderia after his retirement at the end of 2006, went into the weekend in third place in the standings behind Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso but turned the tables on the
    McLaren pair as he led home team-mate Felipe Massa for a 1-2 finish that secured his first world title.

    "What an incredible finale, what a thrilling finish!" Schumacher, now a technical advisor to Ferrari, said on his personal website. "I was so, so happy to see Kimi and Felipe leading the way across the finish line.

    "I've always believed that you should never, ever give up and you should always keep fighting even when there's only a slightest chance, but that it would turn out to be true was something almost no one dared to believe. Congratulations to Kimi and all our guys - that was a super performance, and from Felipe too."

    Indeed, Schumacher's only regret was that he wasn't present at Interlagos to join in the celebrations – having elected to stay at home and watch the events unfold on television.

    "In retrospect, the only unfortunate part is that I wasn't there myself," he said. "I would loved to have celebrated with them all.

    "But we'll make up for that as soon as possible, and I'm really looking forward to that."

    Fernando Alonso launches fresh attack on McLaren

    Fernando Alonso has launched another critical attack on McLaren after missing out on a third consecutive Formula One world title.

    In a dramatic conclusion to the season, Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen won the championship by a point from Lewis Hamilton and Alonso at Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix.

    In the immediate aftermath the 26-year-old offered a reasonably considered view on his season in which he has often been at war with boss Ron Dennis and Hamilton.

    But speaking on Spanish radio today, Alonso could not hide his true feelings, and rounded on the team again for their failure to support him.
    “McLaren got it wrong. They lost the championship for the mistaken decisions they made in the second part of the season,” he said. “It isn’t a secret that they haven’t helped me much, and it wasn’t a well-organised season from the point of view of the management."

    “There was no sensation of being a team and the result speaks for itself. Each person will have to draw their own lessons from this season, but if we had taken a different approach we would have obtained different results.”

    Alonso is again referring to the fact he should have been made number one driver above Hamilton.

    On the morning of the Hungarian Grand Prix he threatened Dennis with divulging the contents of his email inbox to the FIA in relation to the spy saga unless he was granted number one status.

    It resulted in a furious row between Alonso and Dennis, with the latter conceding at the hearing of the spy case towards the end of last month they were no longer on speaking terms.

    Dennis then stated after the Chinese Grand Prix a fortnight ago in which Hamilton slid into gravel on severely-worn tyres that the team were not competing against Raikkonen, but against Alonso.

    “What the boss said after China about the team racing against me and not Kimi was a clear declaration of intentions,” he said. “In the last few races my hands and feet were tied. I had no power to make decisions. I had to race as they told me.

    “McLaren lost and Ferrari did a better job than anyone else.”

    Dennis has revealed that confirmation of his driver line-up will be confirmed within the next two weeks, and not for the first time Alonso appears to have burned his bridges. His only escape route appears to be a return to Renault, who made him champion in 2005 and 2006.

    However, Alonso added: “The only reality is I’m under contract to McLaren. I know there are a lot of rumours, but I haven’t spoken to another team, and that’s the reality.”

    Surprisingly, asked as to whether Renault would be his number one option should he leave McLaren, he replied: “No. Right now I’d say no.”

    McLaren are likely to appeal the race stewards' decision regarding the fuel temperature fiasco which will most likely mean the title won't be official until at least mid November. I'm not concerned though, and I believe neither is Kimi. He has already won the title in the eyes of too many, and if Hamiltion is the kind of sportsman I think he ought to be he wouldn't want to win the title in that way either. So Forza Kimi and Ferrari, winning both championships this year was a fairytale and both the team and Kimi (not forgetting Massa, who's been a consummate professional) got what they deserved.

    Yeah, he agrees with Alonso for once. It'd be a total embarrassment for the sport if the FIA give the title to Hamilton like this.

    Raikkonen won the world title fair and square. He won six times this year, compared to four each for Alonso and Hamilton. I really don't understand McLaren, it's like they're determined to go to great lengths just so Hamilton can win the drivers' title. If Alonso were in Hamilton's position, would McLaren have appealed on his behalf? Probably not.
