Alonso's silence speaks (seriously)
Now we come to the party ... well, personal party.
I spent nearly an hour of my time with Fernandel.
Sometimes the most intriguing and disturbing questions of bloggers are answered between the lines and in the sighs, sometimes they are simply postponed to a later date.
"... I think Kimi has good chances of winning a Grand Prix soon and I consider him a real candidate for this year's WDC. Everyone in this environment knows his value. The Lotus is a competitive car, he is strong, he will fight for the championship. ... "
"... See, in Formula One some have a good car, some have a less good car. I think it's the same thing in MotoGP. I'm thinking of Valentino. What does a driver do? Transmit his feelings and impressions to the engineers, so that they can work on the car ... "
"... I do my best in everything. I'm not the most skilled driver in qualifying. I'm not the best in the rain. I'm not the best overtaker. I'm not the best in wheel-to-wheel battles. I never claimed that! What I try to do is to get 9 in my report card, perhaps 9 1/2 in some of these areas. You judge a driver as a whole, don't you? So when putting everything together ... "
"... Yes, in late 2006 after winning the second title, I said if I won the third I would retire, because three is a number that I like and there are champions that I admire, such as Senna who won three world titles. People come with me not winning in six years. Do I think about it? Sure I think about it. But it's not as if I imagined in 2006 that I would win another title quickly. I always try to be realistic ... "
"... Among other things, apart from 2005 and 2006 I have never had the best car, at least not in the beginning of the season. When I made the comparison with Rocky I didn't mean boxing, I meant that in general, except for those two seasons I mentioned, I have always had to defend myself, struggle to catch up. As now once again ... "
"... I have nothing against Schumacher. There were jokes when we battled for the title but those situations are normal, there was no malice, no. In fact, I happen to think more and more often about him. For Michael it took five years before he won with Ferrari. This is now my third year. He was great, not only on the track, because he always stayed calm and gave an extraordinary contribution to the team ... "
"... In that sense I think about him. When I'm down and when I'm depressed I say to myself; Michael has done it, he was calm, he was a role model ... "
"... I never doubted the quality of his return. Schumacher was back when the Mercedes got a little better. I once said that after winning the third title I would retire, now I'm not sure, I'm changing my mind. I understand Michael. I had a steering wheel in my hand ever since I was three years old. Will I quit? I don't know, my brains keep telling myself not to grow old on the track, but ... "
"... Abu Dhabi in 2010? I never think about it. I swear. I never think that I lost the WDC that Sunday. Abu Dhabi is a nightmare that I really don't ... "
"... What does Ferrari give me? Professionally it has increased my awareness that motor racing is not an individual sport. Everyone can guess what I think, but I think a lot about teamwork. I know that we win or lose together. I always knew it... "
"... And I tell you that on the organizational level Ferrari is the best team of all. Do you know why? Paradoxically because we Don't have the fastest car. What a revelation, huh? We have walked together a hundred feet in the air on a tightrope for nearly two years now. This has fostered tremendous growth of the team. "
"... What am I expecting from Mugello? A step forward. The wrong assumption is that we depend on a miracle, otherwise we are over in Spain. But it's a lie! Ferrari is making steady progress, a continuous evolution. We already have started to enter Q3 without difficulty, so to speak. Let's see how things turn out ... "
"... I never raised my voice to the team. Finding out that the car wasn't as competitive as we hoped disappointed both me and Felipe, but we don't need to beat our fists on the table. The legends of drivers screaming and everything falling into place after that are false. Maybe in the distant past but not today with the aerodynamics as we know perfectly. Then there's also testing limits which hinder development. Ferrari no longer have tests and the development of engines is freezed. I agree with Schumacher when he says certain things about the tyres, but these are the rules and we must adapt to them and we must try to win with these rules ... "
"... By the way, did you notice that the food in Mamma Rossa is better?"
Yes.
