Got a Ferrari? / Not quite good enough at driving? / Are other boys faster than you in the wet?

Then you need:-

Ferrari International Assistance (FIA)


This exclusive Ferrari only membership club has many benefits. Including:-

  • Anti overtaking assurance Been overtaken? Feel a bit silly? Don’t worry, we’ll rule out the other party, even if it’s embarrassingly obvious that they’re faster than you.
  • Exclusive access to a secret ‘second lane’ in the pits Just to make things a little bit easier we’ve arranged a private second lane , just for you.
  • Guaranteed world championship? Had a crash? Need to win the world championship? Don’t worry just limp across the track and take off your nearest championship title contender – we’ll do the rest.
  • A bit strapped? Need extra cash? Simply get one of your team to tell someone else how you make your cars.
  • Bits falling off your car? Looking a bit dangerous? At Ferrari International Assistance we operate a ‘blind eye’ policy just for Ferrari drivers
  • Been a bit silly? Taken off another driver whilst following the safety car? It’s ok, as long as you didn’t hurt yourself. I mean, who is Force India anyway? And how dare they be in from of you.
  • A bit bored? Want some extra action? With FIA-plus you can take part in a number of extracurricular membership err... activities ;-)
Not sure when you might need us next? Relax. Check out our track record. We’re confident that we’ll be able to make something up on the spot that will get you out of any pickle that you might find yourself in!

Ferrari International Assistance Making it up as we go along for over 50 years.

Sadly, despite being a Ferrari fan, I find myself agreeing.

I just wish people would get over their anti-Ferrari bias-

OK, a Ferrari ran up the back of a McLaren early on - no penalty
A Ferrari nerfed a McLaren off at Bus Stop- no penalty
Ferrari given back the lead per the rules
Ferrari loses lead
Ferrari regains lead
Ferrari crashes
Ferrari given race

Come on people- it could have happened like that to any team.

Cheers
Ian

My local Ferrari/Maserati Dealership sent me an invite to watch the Italian GP this coming weekend at a special event they are running. I won't go out of principle. What they are doing in F1 puts me off spending money with them again.

I`m off on a factory tour Monday. I`m intrigued to see if they`ve got the front to display the trophy from Spa. Might even take along some bubble wrap and a postage stamp for when they have to give it back to Ron smile
