Yes Alain you are right! The boss of Ferrari has probably remembered that all the latest Ferrari titles were under the direction of a certain Jean Todt, a Frenchman who speaks perfect Italian :):):) As for Sir Lewis, indeed it is high time to think about putting him in the garage :):):)

A surprise, not really! What do the "shit mills" of the Italian press - the one that knows everything before everyone else - have to say about it, as they were hoping for the appointment of a native of the boot to head Ferrari's Gestione Sportiva?

I didn't think McLaren dominated to the point of scoring 5416 points... A record that exploded and was historic in half a season and will never be beaten despite the increasing number of races and sprints!!! It's definitely impossible to have an article without the slightest error when you just have to reread it.
