[Dj Dirk]

I was never a big fan of Mansell

 

[Tifoso_Boy]

At least he's not bitter about his record being broken. I can still remember the year he won in Brasil in his first outing with Ferrari

 

[Dj Dirk]

If he would have been bitter about his record been broken, can you imagine the way he would have looked in the press then :question: :question:

 

[Tifoso_Boy]

Nigel knew it was going down, so there was no reason to worry about it.

 

[Dj Dirk]

Ofcourse, but you never know with some people.
But i found it pretty nice of him to come down to Spa to congratulate Michael

 

[Tifoso_Boy]

Yeah, it was nice of him. Unlike 'others' who can't stop crying about Ferraris dominance.....Maybe if they did more work and less whinning, then they could 'try' to take the championship from the scuderia...

 

[Dj Dirk]

Oooo well i can remember other times, let's say about 10 years ago
when Mclaren (or was it Williams) was dominating everytin.
Then you didn't hear Ferrari complaining that much like they are doing now

 

[Tifoso_Boy]

IT was in 88 , when Mclaren won 15 out of 16. With the only bright side was a Ferrari victoy at Monza..about a month after Mr Ferrari passed...

 

[Dj Dirk]

ooh yeah that was the worst season, but the following seasosn they where also pretty dominating

 

[Tifoso_Boy]

And then Williams took control, and Ferrari went through a long dry spell

 

[Dj Dirk]

long is an understatement

 

[Tifoso_Boy]

long is an understatement

Those were heartbreaking years..that's for sure.

 

[Dj Dirk]

long is an understatement

Those were heartbreaking years..that's for sure.

I would more say decates (spelling?)

 

[Tifoso_Boy]

Yes, most of that decade was a disaster , but then came the light (Michael) :green: ....Also remember that Prost almost won with Ferrari in the 90's...he came very close.

 

[Dj Dirk]

And we can't forget Alesi's beautifull victory in Canada

 

[Tifoso_Boy]

And we can't forget Alesi's beautifull victory in Canada

Yeah, the day Michaels bennetton failed him.....

 

[Dj Dirk]

ofcourse, he drove a Benetton, not a Ferrari :wink: :green: :lol:
