As the title says, will Flavio come back and lead the Ferrari Team? I think it´s time for Dominicalli to step down and let the experienced take over Ferrari again. Also how is the relationship between Dominicalli and Di Montzi?

No, really, it's a joke, isn't it?

Not so sure, I have heard runours that MS has requested to have Flavio Briatore taking Ross Brawn's position within Mercedes, which might xplain the latter's "medical condition"?

Yeah I think for sure Flavio will be back. There was an OmniCorse interview with him a month or so back where he said he would surely come back. I can't remember the exact role he cited, but it wasn't team principal. But he did say he wouldn't mind coming back.

Edit: Maybe it wasn't in this interview. I think instead it was an interview with RAI. Either way he said he would come back.

Be nice b2k, how would you like Cesare Fiorio or Andrea Sasetti for team principal?

I'd be willing to bet - easy, WB - that a large portion of F1 followers think Ferrari is somehow cheating the very moment their haulers pull up to the circuit. The last thing the team needs is someone who would find a way to turn that fallacy into reality.

First of all, Briatore was innocent, a victim of MrM's vengeance for having the audacity to end MS' WDC winning streak in 2005.

Secondly, one driver sacrificing his race for a teammate is nothing new, perhaps not that spectacular but anyway.

The Piquet's are quite slimy. I liked the story Flavio told about the "male friend" Nelson Sr. insist Flavio keep away from Nelson Jr.

Remember that Nelson Sr once managed to sell MrE a fake Rolex on the horsestory that he was broke, not a bad feat that?
