Ferrari fans complaining about FIA favoritism - Hypocrites

Post

:lol:
I don't really understand this. For years Ferrari were the FIAs golden team. They always used to get away with everything. Other teams like McLaren and Renault were penalized left and right.

And now they're complaining that FIA is against them?
Am I the only one to find this a bit hypocritical?

Maybe Ferrari regrets overthrowing Max, as he's always been anti-McLaren. Since he's gone, the penalties haven't always gone Ferrari's way and they're whining about it.

It simply is Ferrari and we will have to live with this. Italians are egoistic, have no patience and get mad when they do not get what they want, same happens with soccer, it is just simply in the Italian blood to do so

Snap! Was just going to mention their unsporting behaviour (diving) in order to just obtain a draw with 78th ranked New Zealand in the soccer World Cup. It's fine when they get the result they want but scream blue murder when someone else does ...

I think Ferrari have shot themselves in the foot on this one.

Oh here we go with the bull about FIA favoritism yet again. Lets slam Ferrari but we won't mention McLaren or Williams will we? Under MrM's dictatorship, the FIA jumped into bed with whichever team was winning.

It is interesting to note that when McLaren told Coulthard to pull over to let Hakkinen past nothing was said, but Ferrari do this and it rumbles on for years! Strange that....

When I first visited this forum I thought, wauw some bright people talking sense about Formula 1. Now a couple of weeks later I am disappointed as this is just another F1 forum where brainless fanboys use whatever they can to tell that their team is the best and that the other is cheating.
Take every single comment above mine and you'll understand what Im talking about. Some of you even bring in football to strengthen your point. Now I realize this isn't just another F1 forum, this is probably one of the saddest ones around.

I know there are some clever diamonds between the 14 year old kids on this forum. Some of you guys know a lot on the technical front but I'm afraid it's no use if you see the kind of people who have over a thousand posts on their name. They ruining this forum. A good and firm discussion can be very healthy but with an attitude that some of the people here have, it becomes a huge shame.

o.O

Every single post, huh? My comment was aimed at showing that there is no black and white in the situation; if there is one thing I'm not, that is a fanboy ... Sure, I do hold an anti-ferrari bias, but that is more along the line of a pantomime villain, as things are always more entertaining when there is someone to boo.

Of course there are always some absolute rubbish threads on any forum, but isn't online interaction meant to be fun? If you feel this way, just let the babies have their bottle ... you don't have to read the threads!
