Fantastic, brilliant, great, awesome, sweet, tremendous and indeed splendid. Finally for a Tifosi like my fat self, Ferrari are back on winning form with a commanding win at the French Grand Prix.

F2007
A thing of beauty, that is. Wrong colour though.

A 1-2 no less and a superb drive from both peddlers. Great tactics and the mechanics and engineers did a wonderful job. Kimi overtook Hamilton on the start and by the second corner was well in front of Lewis and away. Massa did a great first stint and was leading the pack by just over 4 seconds. However by the end of the second round of pit-stops Kimi, with some speedy extra laps, traffic for Massa and luck, nosed in front. Still a Ferrari in front and a Ferrari in second.

A result that is perfect for we Tifosi. Ferrari had added some new parts to the car and boy did it improve it. I like the swept back wings on the upper portion of the nose for example.

But something is still bugging the arse of me. Something I was sure was the origin of the woes and slows of the past few races, a curse that started in Monaco.

Forget all the Nigel Stepney maladies. White powders and finger pointing. Police investigations and sabotage. Until today I was convinced that the reason the Scuderia were behind the boys and girls from Woking (McLaren) was colour.

Colour?

Why has the Maranello concern decided to paint the car in a metallic ‘cherry’ red? That’s not right.

PLEASE Mr Montezemolo wield your powers and get Aldo Costa [designer of the car] to paint the gorgeousness that is the F2007 in ‘ROSSO RED’.

You may have improved the car so it can win but it is still the wrong colour.
