Ferrari boss fears a Singapore 'let down'
Monday 22nd September 2008
Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo is concerned that Formula One's two new street races are bad for the sport.
Last month the F1 circus paid its first visit to Valencia, where the drivers raced through the streets of the port city.
However, the race offered very little overtaking, turning into nothing more than a fast-paced procession.
And this weekend's Singapore GP could, according to di Montezemolo, yield much of the same as the drivers take to the streets of the Asian city.
"I have the impression it will be another one of those let downs where you cannot overtake, like Valencia," the Italian told Reuters when asked for his impression of the Singapore race.
He added: "Going forward with these circuits heralds a bad future for Formula One."

"Yeah, I'm with him. Valencia was truly horrid. There must be something wrong somewhere if the ruling body does not insist on tracks that can provide a spectacle."

""Did he say no overtaking? When there's finally someone who got balls to execute fantastic manoeuvre overtaking Ferrari, it was stolen away"
I seem to remember Hamilton not been able to execute a successful overtaking manoeuvre. Any F1 driver can try an overtaking move and go over some nicely tarmac'ed run off area if you get it wrong."

"in other words his cars are not able to beat the others, we didn't hear him complain about valencia,but im sure with the right amount of back handers and a tostosterone injection to the balls of his drivers then victory will be in the bag, stay away if you don't want to race"
