Formula One ( F1 )

Are you joking? Ferrari, the company that has been building the world's most intricate twelve-cylinder engines in capacities where everyone else would use six cylinders, for over half a century?
Get a clue, and google 'Ferrari 125S'. Unlike other car companies (ahem, Mercedes), Ferrari don't selectively throw away any of their history. They keep the fucking lot, and as lots go it's about the greatest.

Did you say get a clue? Really?

What makes you think that I'm not an F1 aficionado? Or indeed, a motorcycle aficionado?

Well, my comment regarded Ferrari versus Honda (for example - who will soon be coming back), and other major manufacturers that specialise in small engine design and manufacture. The car engines Ferrari have made for quite some time, would be regarded as large actually. What they did years ago would not be relevant in terms of design now. That has been shown in Ferrari not being able to match the better cars, even with absolutely the best driver. Though I'm a Lewis fan, but Alonso is the best driver, no question.

I've followed F1 since the early 1970s, and motorcycle racing since then also, but to a much lesser extent. I did not think Ferrari had the nous to build a class leading small engine, as that is not their recent background. Let's see if I'm wrong shall we. And then lets see how Honda do when they return.
