The article refers to post Singapore. He wrote that in 5th October referring to any additional second sensor Singapore when the performance then dropped.
Quote:
In the Times on the 7th I read that the new sensors as being fitted back in May when there was no change, or even and improvement in performance relative. No additional sensors since then presumably. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/p...7160557942c937 Quote:

The covering up of the FiA camera saga continued at the Japanese GP.
Other teams are not happy that FiA/FOM have failed to stop Ferrari from covering up their camera, and have resorted to doing the same. So in essence - Ferrari have had access to video of all other teams activities through the onboard FiA camera, but the other teams do not have access to Ferrari. So other teams have also started to block the view of the FiA camera on the grid and in the garages. Images below from the Japanese GP of some of the other teams covering up the camera. I feel a ruling may come to play soon, if not for next year. |

This is a really odd fetish you have.
It can also be found with the more mature model if that’s what floats your boat. |

McLaren are clearly up to something. They're covering the camera and magically the car is getting worse. Must be some sort of sensor issue. Maybe Ron Dennis never left McLaren, secretly planted people inside the FIA, and is allowing McLaren through technical inspections when it shouldn't be. Now he's been found out so the MagicSensorTM has been added that showed it had double the horse power. So now they have to cover the steering wheel. That's the only possible explanation for these extremely suspicious umbrellas.

So... Ferrari have lost another drivers championship this year. And, added to a very good chance of at least a drivers championship last year, Ferrari should be back to back drivers champions. And possibly even back to back constructors champions. But, they are not. Why?
The simple answer is mistakes. Mistakes by the team, but more so, mistakes by their lead driver. Vettel has been Ferrari's weakest link. The car was very capable of winning the championship this year, and last year. But Vettel's mistakes has cost Ferrari two championships. I've posted the question before on here, what would have Alonso been able to achieve in the 2017 Ferrari? And in this years Ferrari? IMO, if Alonso was driving the Ferrari of the last two seasons, Ferrari would be back to back champions. I have no doubt about it. Martin Brundle and David Coulthard are two of many F1 pundits that have said Alonso would've been 2017 drivers champion in the Ferrari. Did Ferrari make a mistake by letting Alonso go? An article on motorsportweek.com tries to answer the above question. https://www.motorsportweek.com/news/id/20537 |

I'll go along with that. Vettel is great and all, but he is no Alonso. Alonso makes very few mistakes and always gives his maximum

Alonso is one of my favourite driver but life goes on. The best Alonso would surely have won two titles with this car. Now Nando it's not unbeateble I think, he has loss something although he showed good things with the uncompetitive McLaren. Vettel is a great driver, very fast but he's not proved to be a champions. That's my opinion. When he won championships the Red Bull was simply unbeateble and with more luck and less strategic mistakes by Ferrari, Alonso could won at least one title. Then when the RB became less competitive, Vettel was beaten by Ricciardo. I think also the best Raikkonen (2006-2007) would have beaten this Vettel. The problem in Ferrari is that they haven't a leader. I'm feeling that Arrivabene has a short life in the team as he is always saying "we will give everything to conquer the manufacturer title now". Ferrari lack of a real leadership from the Schumacher period, when Todt, Brawn and Byrne were all onboard. Since then nothing... |

It’s definitely more Italian these days, just like it always was before the Todt/Byrne/Brawn/Schumi era

as good as Alonso is i feel like he would not have handled himself well during this time of internal drama Ferrari are currently and allegedly embroiled in.
past history, but adding Alonso to the mix could very well have been like adding oil to a fire. the SV/KR pairing probably gave Ferrari the stability to even mount a comeback challenge in the first place. |

Alonso was at Ferrari. They had one real chance at the championship. During Vettel's time there were two chances. Alonso may be the better driver but is he the better teamplayer? That is also to consider when considering who would have produced the better outcome.

When Alonso was in the Ferrari, I had the impression that he was still in his best mood in F1. The problem was that the car did not perform as the Red Bull. He had some chances but they were ruined by poor strategies and also poor luck (the Grosjean crash in SPA). But surely Ferrari could make a better car in that time.
Now I feel the story is different. Ferrari is showing that they can produce a good car, but behind there is not the a leadership that lead to a win! In my opinion to choose Vettel as first leading driver was a good choice, but if really want to win, you had to choose also a second competitive driver. I don't think that now Kimi has the speed to challenge an Hamilton or even a Verstappen or Ricciardo. In doing this (chosing Raikkonen as a stable mate of Vette) you gave total trust to Vettel, a driver that has showed that can't manage pressure well. So for me, Vettel is okay but only with an other competitive driver who can have at least a chance to play for the title and challenging a phenomenal fast driver like Hamilton. Raikkonen has done a good job as a 2° driver but I feel he couldn't give further. In conclusion. In my opinion who made choices in the team has done big mistakes. Ferrari has the potential to win again but it's delayed by a poor managing view... It's harsh I know and probably there are things that I haven't seen. But as far as drivers choosing/managing concerned, it could have been done better |

To me Maurizio Arrivabene is Ferrari's biggest problem, what is the Italian press' take on his leadership? I always felt the Sergio Marchionne kept the whole show balanced, and Ferrari's immediate problems following his loss would seem to add credibility to the theory. |

As for the Italian media, here are some reports about the Italian press reactions this season. In English.
Post French GP https://www.gpfans.com/en/articles/1...nch-gp-errors/ Post German GP https://www.gpfans.com/en/articles/2...ing-german-gp/ Post Italian GP https://www.grandprix247.com/2018/07...aise-hamilton/ Post Japanese GP https://autoweek.com/article/formula...japanese-grand This is not something new. The Italian media has laid on the criticism of Vettel going back to the 2016 season. http://www.gptoday.com/full_story/vi...dia_criticism/ He is not seen in the same light as some of the most recent past Ferrari drivers, like Alonso, and Massa. Even Raikkonen is much more popular than Vettel is. They say... that the Italians are good at spotting a fake. Not sure if that extends to F1 drivers as well though. |

What I read on Arrivabene, but only in some spaces, is that maybe he could leave Ferrari at the end of the year. It seems to me that now he has a lot of pressure as he talks like they have to win the constructors championship necessarily. But I feel also that he has already some plan to do other after F1 |

Ferrari's inability to claim a WDC in the past few seasons seems to have resulted in a need for a scapegoat. Which brings the thought to mind - Why is the Narcissist obsesses with their scapegoat?
In any sporting contest, there has to be those who do not win. It seems extremely difficult for some to accept this at times without need to try and justify a failing.... |

But with the resources that Ferrari uses every season and all the money spent, you have to ask yourselfs what's gone wrong. Ferrari don't win anything since 2007!! And as happen in all the big industries/society, you have to deliver the result otherwise you're out. In my view of Motorsport, I think that the role with high responsability has to be taken by competent person who had experience in Motorsport. Todt for example has been involved actively in Motorsport as rally co-driver, Toto Wolff and Horner were drivers in the past. Arrivabene has always managing marketing and commercial strategies for his employers, and even if he was often inside the world Ferrari F1, he was not involved in first person in Motorsport. He choosed Vettel and confirmed the latter, he choosed Raikkonen and confirmed him in these seasons. He choosed the strategists and he's responsible for wins or fails. If Ferrari is happy with results they can continue keeping the actual team. |
