EXCLUSIVE – Transcript of Ferrari radio broadcast before THAT move..

EXCLUSIVE – Transcript of Ferrari radio broadcast before THAT move..

We have been passed what could possibly be a genuine transcript of the pit to car radio transmission at the German Grand Prix between Ferrari race engineer, Rob Smedley, and their number two driver, Felipe Massa.

We join the action on lap… 47 as Smedley calls on Massa..

 

Rob Smedley: “Aye oop lad, how’s tha doing out there?”

Felipe Massa: “OK, car is good, I’m really motoring here”

RS: “Great lad, cracking, but why not take it easy a bit, you know, chill baby”

FM: “No, I push, Fernando is close”

RS: “Aye, but driving quickly isn’t all it’s cracked up to be is it? Why not ease up a bit and take in the scenery, maybe stop for a sandwich?”

FM: “You crazy? Alonso is all over me, do I need to push more?”

RS: “Look lad, ordinarily yes, but don’t you think it would be a nice idea to look after the car a bit, it’s a dead expensive bit of kit and you really don’t want to thrash it all afternoon do you?”

FM: “What are you saying?”

RS: “Oh fer chrissakes man, will yer just bloody well pull over and let Alonso past, Jeez, have you finally understood the message.”

FM: “Oh *#%+ it!”

The REAL reason Alonso has had his thumbs insured…

The REAL reason Alonso has had his thumbs insured...

According to a report on the Autosport website, Ferrari star Fernando Alonso has had his thumbs insured for 10 million euros each. Personal sponsor, Santander, a port in northern Spain, has arranged third party fire and theft on the digits… because; “Alonso’s thumbs are a big symbol as, apart from being essential when driving a Formula 1 car, they represent a sign of victory and that everything is under control and well protected.”

This is of course as rubbish a reason as it sounds and we can today reveal the real reason Fernando is so worried about his thumbs.

Reports from Spain say that Alonso is already disillusioned with life at Ferrari and is planning a life after F1, in the Spanish Thumb Wrestling Championship.

After football, F1, Moto GP and slaughtering animals, the STWC is one of Spain’s most popular sports and with the news that Fernando is likely to join the championship on a 250 euro a year deal from 2011, it’s popularity can only grow.

Ferrari’s Shanghai Surprise

Ferrari's Shanghai Surprise

A source close to the Ferrari F1 team has today said that the team may take advantage of the fact that teams will not be penalised for missing the first three races of the season by electing to start their… 2010 campaign from the Chinese Grand Prix onwards.

The rule was brought in to allow no-hopers like Campos and US F1 until April to announce their withdrawal from the sport but keen eyed Ferrari management see an advantage for their team.

Said our source; “From testing results it is pretty clear that Ferrari will win the championship very easily anyway, so even if they miss Bahrain, Australia and Malaysia they should still have both titles sewn up by the Japanese Grand Prix in early October so what is the point going to those horrid places and getting the cars all dusty and mucky?”

Rumours that McLaren and Mercedes also can’t be arsed to turn up until Shanghai have yet to be confirmed.

Schumacher causes Alonso’s first Ferrari crash

At Ferrari’s annual love-in at the ski resort of Madonna Ciccone, Fernando Alonso crashed in an explosion of poles and ski’s as a tricky black run caught him out. The name of the piste? ‘Michael Schumacher’. Bet that won’t be… the last time those two names are involved in the same crash report this year.
