In this article http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/61454 the following paragraph appeared.

We can win all the remaining races, because we have the capacity to do it," said di Montezemolo after meeting with team boss Jean Todt on Wednesday. "The team has to believe in it. As I for myself and Todt believe in it, together with our lawyers ."


Clearly indicating that Montezemolo believes that he can win all the races by employing good lawyers. This quote was changed shortly afterwards. Obviously someone put this in as a joke. Come on guys, who did it?

It is nice to see someone at autosport has a sense of humour. lol.gif up.gif

That's the translation from Ferrari's media site of their quotes from Italian.

When we checked the Italian version of their site we noticed the quote had not been translated properly by whoever did it and...

"As I for myself and Todt believe in it, together with our lawyers."

... was actually:

"As for everything else, Todt and I will take care if it, together with our lawyers."

So we decided to remove that bit. End of story.

Doh, Eli. There was me thinking that someone at autosport had a wicked sense of humour and it turns out it was a Ferrari translator with the sense of humour.

This is a revelation. Someone employed by Ferrari has a sense of humour??? Next you will be telling me that Jean Todt is a straightforward, honest guy more interested in the sport of F1 than Ferrari politics. eek.gif
