Who do we think Ferrari will fear most and do they have the capability to hold off 3 teams instead of the usual 1 in Mclaren.

Brawn/Mercedes GP will now have Mercedes Millions backing them
Mclaren showed that they had the skill to turn the car around this year
Redbull arguably ended the year with the best car

I just wonder what Monte/Alonso must be thinking and if a phone call to Todt is being made.smile

Can we have an 'all of the above' option?.

As a Ferrari fan just because they started on this years car 6 months ago I don't think they are automatically going to be pacesetters. I imagine 2010 will be a 4 way contest and if I were to put a bet on I would be going for Vetel.

I suspect the team they fear most are their engineering team. Because they stand to do the most damage to Ferraris chances next year. As demonstrated this year when they had to write it off and move on to next years car early.

Just added "all of the above" BUT i remember Martin Whitmarsh saying that what drives them is there rivalry with Ferrari. They also seemed to really want that 3rd place constructors place even though it was practically worthless.

What has change for Ferrari? The biggest change has to be for McLaren, no more Mercedes money, just a 'buyer/supplier' relationship.

There is no change at Mercedes/Mclaren until 2011.

P.S. Brawn done no-too-bad with Mercedes as "just" an engine supplier.

But Brawn did not know any different, and I still fail to see how this affects what Ferrari have been doing behind the closed doors at Maranello for the past 6 months and what they have planned for the future.

This is just another anti-Ferrari thread started by you, all very boring.clap

Its that boring that 44 members have polled. I dont see how its anti-Ferrari anyway? I am using them as the yardstick to what other teams are compared to.

As for what have they been doing for 6 months behind closed doors? Who knows but what we do know is that they have more than Mclaren to worry about which was my point.

WTF? How do i know that Mclaren,RedBull and Mercedes GP will be competitive? Simple,they all now have the funds to compete against Ferrari and the aero changes are not that different to this years car so they will all be up there. Lack of testing also means that Ferrari cant throw even more FIAT money at there problems if there car is not upto scratch.

LOL. Time will tell, just as it did with your 'guarantee' that the Force India's would be quick at ANY given track after their performance in Spa.........

I'm sure the toilets and Maranello are overflowing since this morning news.;)

Maybe - but there was an agenda there. What will it be like next year when there is a factory Merc and a custoimer one? Like MotoGP where the customer always gets the updates second?

Since you state on another current thread that you 'despise' Ferrari, is this just a bit of trolling?
