Last week Ferrari’s President Luca di Montezemolo commented and brand the Singapore Grand Prix as a circus. He was quoted as “When we race on tracks which should be used for the circus anything can happen - including the spectacle of the safety car. All this is humiliating for F1 and it is an aspect I want to talk about with the other teams in the next few weeks”

This is coming from a terrible Singapore GP campaign where the Ferrari Team didn’t manage to get a single point after Raikkonen crashed with four laps to go and Massa had a pit-stop comedy error. Sometimes you just have to accept the outcome as it is and the next time round, improve on it, but being sour grapes or maybe trying to play mind games, Luca di Montezemolo sure got Bernie Ecclestone riled up. He replied angrily

“If the Ferrari president is right about the Singapore Grand Prix being a circus, then we have to be grateful to him for providing the clowns. After the weekend Ferrari had, their president should have shut up and kept his head down. If Massa loses the world championship, he will know the team were responsible. Why do you want to have some other piece of technology that can go wrong?”

Ooohh that got to hurt eh Luca, such a clever reply by Bernie! And as for the last part of Ecclestone comments, well he was referring to the electronic sign Ferrari use at the pit-stop when all the other F1 teams uses the lollipop
