1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

This is where we see how big Domenicali's "testicoli" are.
He's a Jean Todt proitege, but installed in the job as a yes man to Montezemelo. If he's a real team leader and learned from Todt we'll see Massa, Schumacher or Vettel in the seat. However if he's not learned and really is there as Luca's puppet then yup Alonso might be there.
Just about everyone at ferrari does not want Fred driving for them. He's said some unflattering things about the team in the past and they dont like his general attitude. If you thought his "me and my friends are all I need" attitude went the way of the titanic at Mclaren, how do you think it would go down at a team where Michael Schumacher instilled a sense of family amoungst everyone involved. Even Kimi makes the effort at race weekends and several times in the offseason.

Also bare in mind there may be two seats open. Kimi is only contracted to the end of this year with options on both sides for 09. If Ferrari had two seats I could see a serious run at both Vettel and Rosberg for a pricely sum.

Alonso to Ferrari in 2009 was bandied about no less than 5 races into his McLAREN drive last year..
The only thing at the time that poo-pooed the speculation was that Jean Todt's son is his manager.
Now JT has left Ferrari......

Surprisingly the biggest reason Massa has the job, is not because of Nicholas Todt, but because of Marboro's association with the team.

I hope this dosn't happen, Ferrari is my favourite team and Alonso is my least favourite driver.

No. If you're any good at predictions, you should be able to predict that. ;) ;D
