Well, its good he's at least got access to a few supercars after his hi-jinx over Ferrari's Press requirements. Really, his rant will fall on deaf ears; and will be a huge mistake on his part for years to come. I want to like the new McLaren... the problem is I don't like McLaren

Still, Ferrari could learn a thing or two from them.

I hope that his Ferrari rank will wake up other journalists and stop thess cheats by Ferrari. Of course they are not the only ones to tune their press cars but the rest of the stuff is quite too much IMO ...

Chris Harris isn't likely to be driving any press Ferrari's anytime soon. He isn't wrong, but he isn't right either. Almost every manufacturer does this to an extent. The lesser publications get harped on, abused, and downtrodden vehicles...

Yes, Ferrari have been a little 'un-Ferrari' of late. What happened to the chaos?

It's almost like they tring to be Porsche of the future; now that VW controls their fate

.

Blame Montezemolo if you like. Once he took over, they started down this path. To be honest, I think that they are the better for it (in general). Now the cars finally have the performance to back up the mystique...
