I was intrigued when our friends at RACER.com sent out an email this morning that the 2x Formula One Champ Fernando Alonso would join Ferrari.  And when I clicked on the article I noticed that is was just Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo's way of attracting attention after the failed return of Michael Schumacher one month ago that blew up in their face… a way to garner attention by saying that Alonso would join the team (hold breath here) one of these days.  Yeah, all that for nothing but speculation.  He will join Ferrari, apparently, one day in the future.

Luca, what in the world are you really after?

So then I kept reading the article and was astonished (sort of) at what else came out of his mouth.  We all know Lewis Hamilton, F1's only black driver, hasn't had the most fair of shakes in the sport politically.  There are many stories to prove it from team protests to comments made by Bernie Ecclestone himself.  Let's add another one today, shall we Luca?  Yep, di Montezemolo said that Ferrari currently has “…two great champions with the 2007 champion and the man who was 2008 champion for 15 seconds when he crossed the line.”  Get over yourself Luca, and NO you do not have anything of the sort of a 2008 champion, 15 seconds or 15 hours or 15 anything.  Damnit people, Lewis Hamilton is your reigning champion so respect him as that please!

And finally, another one of his quotes just made no sense at all.  It was a comment about the late Ayrton Senna.  Apparently Senna, before his life ending crash, approached Luca and mentioned that he would like to end his career at Ferrari (much like all the great drivers have done and continue to do). Just one sentence later, Luca said this, “We look ahead, and life is long for everyone.”

Um, no Luca… it's not long for everyone.  Just a day or two after your 'chat' with Ayrton Senna, he died… again, life is not long for everyone.
