been almost two months from that Sunday for all the Ferrari will be remembered as May 5, the Waterloo of the Middle East. Abu Dhabi futuristic loses its charm (on the spectacular route to draw a veil pitiful) and becomes the terminus of a season in some ways unique, for others a failure. Ferrari as (or worse?) of Napoleon, Bramante's victory, he condemns his own hands, throwing a World Cup drivers now in the wind in your pocket, in the worst way possible. Not because of an epic duel with opponents, from which you can always go out defeated with honor, bowing to those who have prevailed. But for a disastrous strategic error "worthy" of a rookie team, for doing the race thinking only a direct competitor (Webber) that were never claimed by his team, Red Bull, far more inclined to support a young "scion" Germany (Vettel), wishing to succeed to the throne of another Prussian Emperor of Ferrari's glorious past and memory, but this sometimes ridiculous and out place (Michael Schumacher).
The strategy that won him many battles throughout history, even in conditions of inferiority, betrays Alonso still exceptional for a first year marked by red wins, great effort and a few evitabilissimo mistake, alas. An early pit stop, traffic, anxiety, and the resounding fall of the last race of the year. He begins the story of world champion Sebastian Vettel, with Ecclestone to smell the Formula One in which, incidentally, always win his beloved. It also begins the earthquake that Ferrari is so much regret the past. Ah, lacking Jean Todt and Ross Brawn. A pragmatic in leading the team and a brilliant strategist of the wall box. Un team in perfetta sinergia, pochi errori e tanti trionfi, quasi a rendere ogni gara quasi scontata.
Di chi è la colpa? Di Domenicali, non in grado di gestire una squadra importante come la Ferrari. Di Chris Dyer, diretto responsabile della "tragica" sosta ai box. Dell'intero team, che sembra aver perso quella forza e quell'unione che spesso ha dato alla rossa quei "cavalli" in più per battere gli avversari. Qui però non siamo in tribunale. Poco conta chi ha sbagliato e chi no. I risultati, quelli sì che contano. E anche nel 2010 si è vista una Ferrari partita a spron battuto, ridimensionata già a partire dalla seconda gara e costretta a inseguire per mesi una Red Bull assolutamente superiore, ostacolata soltanto an internal struggle in which more than one occasion threatened to undermine the season. In 2011 at Maranello will have to change many things, because after three years of bitter defeats, it is no longer acceptable starting late, repeat mistakes and find themselves in a desperate chase, exponentially increasing the risk of derail any project of victory. Dubai as Waterloo, perhaps rightly so: Vettel's victory is well deserved award for the world's most competitive car and a young man who, except for impulsivity, will win again in Formula One. Perhaps even in a Ferrari, who knows ...
