I think Ferrari have got complacent!
To think your old car will whip other teams new expensively developed cars is a huge assumption - which they have got very wrong.
That's the fault of Todt and Brawn, not MS.
It's also interesting on the Bridgestone issue. There were complaints last year about the dedicated Ferrari support and program. But now with Michelin getting far more miles in testing - they have lost out too.
Pierre Desperate-squirt-ier may not be so desperate after all and must be similing.
What would be disaster for Ferrari would be a 2005 car that takes a few races to bed-in. By then the championship could be gone.
It's potentially quite a major issue.
Would MS bother to keep going if he wasn't guaranteed the best kit and have to scrap in the pack, which he is proven not to be be very tolerant or competent (?) in doing. I think that could be a key reason (having achieved the lot) to finally quit.
That in turn could wallop Ferrari even more.
What a fascinating year ahead!
