Who should be the next #2 at Ferrari

[Victor Broccoli]

Well...who?

[Liz]

JPM - when TGF has gone ....

[EERO]

Victor, I vote for Alonso whom you left off the list. Trulli and Fisichella have their champions as well.

[SH0077]

Kimi would learn alot from TGF. Most see Schumacher as a bully and someone who needs 100% attention from his team. Maybe before he was crowned WDC for Ferrari, but with that stigma gone why wouldn't he try to help-out one of the rising stars of F1. We all know that Schumacher loves Ferrari and Ferrari love him! Why wouldn't he want to see the Crown stay at Ferrari after he has retired? Schumacher VS Raikkonen..? We all know how fast Kimi is, imagine him in a Full Works Ferrari!?!? Schumacher would rather be remembered as the Pilot who brought home the Trophy and helped keep it there, rather than the Red Baron who punts people of the road, that so many have labelled him. Go Schumacher - Raikkonen for Ferrari in 2002.

How about 'GFB' (German Fellow's Brother) for Ralph. I know it cant compete with 'TGF', but anyway...

[badoer fan]

I wanna see Luca in the seat, after all he's worked for it, but not as second fiddle to TGW

[Ferrari Girl]

I think Jenson should get the drive!

[steve nielsen]

Jos of course!!

[steve nielsen]

Jos of course!!, he's also a good friend of Michael

[Tristan]

I think the more important issue is who SHOULD be the next #1 at Ferrari. For whatever reaso, I can see there being big changes there in the next 2 years. Next year's lineup looks safe.

That's actually TGWv.2

And he is thankfully fully committed to appearing in a gravel trap near you. So he might as well be in a Ferrari!

Since this thread is tio pick the next #2 driver, I chose Luca, he deserves it, he has done great testing and has proved to anybody he can be as fast as RB. If this post was about the next #1 driver at ferrari, I will pick JPM.

[Minardi fan]

Luca.

He's quick, he's experienced, and he deserves credit for aiding Michael's championship wins.

The day Kimi goes to Ferrari would be a sad one indeed - stick him in a McLaren and I'm less fussed. But four years at Sauber to finish first. Thank goodness.

[KC]

Personally, I'd love to see Michael Schumacher as the No. 2 at Ferrari and see how good he gets on then.

[senna12]

I think Kimi is the most likely candidate, as Sauber can use him for leverage to get a better engine/cooperation deal. Being a youngster, the pressure to match Michael's pace wouldn't be so high. But I bet he'd be right with him virtually right away, as would Alonso. Fernando will be considered, but do Ferrari want to supply motors to a 3rd team, with all that entails?
I can't imagine Frank would let Juan go before his contract is up, is it for 2 years only, 'cause of Bunsen? Ralf would be interesting, for sure. I get this feeling he'd love to beat his brother in front of everybody. I guess we should never rule anything out.
I agree that Luca has earned the drive. Perhaps Michael would prefer a known quantity.
Jarno could do it, but he doesn't want to, he's outperforming HHF at this point in the season.
JV could do it, but he doesn't need the aggravation. Especially if Honda buys control of BAR.
Can't wait to see who it's gonna be. With all the rumours and denials flying around about Rubens, he MUST be toast!

KC, I like your idea best of all!!

[AndyF]

Sorry Minardi Fan - don't think there's much chance of Tarso Marques getting the seat. Although, slow, crashes, Brazilian - just like Rubens.

[Roy2]

I'd like to see Fisichella get the chance. He has the most talent of all the Italians, imo, and in the underperforming Bennetton team has had a way of outperforming his team mates and making them look bad.

I think he has the moxie to be a strong no. 2 at Ferrari and the ability to become the no. 1 if MS hangs on for too long. I doubt if he'll get the chance though. His best opportunity will be staying with Renault, who are bound to field a winning engine, and probably won't tolerate a poor chassis for long.

When I imagine him with Ferrari I see him flying, for what that's worth.

:confused: huh??? I never said anything about Tarso in the Ferrari!!!??? I think Minardi should drop the guy!!!

[bella]

saint fernando the great. in about 3 years time when he's widened his vocab, perfected his grammer, and learnt how to look mean.

[Jeanburrasca81]

Definately I vote for Jean Alesi you left off the list. Would be the right move to honour his great carreer at last.

[pink69]

i think that Tomas Shekter could prove to be a great F1 driver if given a chance. His father Jody drove for the team so he has links and he was impressive in the F3 last year as well as the F3000 races he did and he is a title fav in the telephonica series he is currently competing in. I'd vote Shekter.

Jeanburrasca, I'm with you. I've been saying it for ages, but I understand that Alesi wouldn't go. It makes sense though, adored by the Tifosi, accustomed to Ferrari "politics" and friend to TGF, he would win every race that Schumacher didn't.

[V6+]

No.2 driver at Ferrari.... thats easy..Jaques Villeneuve

Bet he wouldnt be No.2 for very long either

I wonder who the Tifosi would support the most TGF or Jaques, sorry silly question.

[Maxmil]

Ditto on Jacques. Alesi would be a good choice too.

Man the rest of 'em must be useless! Fissi would be just able to spell his own name given an hour and no pressure. He literally couldn't drive outta sight on a pitch black night.

I mean come on, Ralf, umm, sorry, Fissi is disowned by his own dog after each GP!
