@@ciaronsmith4995 You sound stupid. You're talking from hindsight bias. If YOU had watched F1 during that time, you would know that, when Massa came at Ferrari in 2006 he was seen as Michael's protege. People had high hopes for Massa and Ferrari adored him. There were no team orders with massa and Raikkonen. After the 09 accident massa wasn't the same, and no longer race winning competitive. What's when Alonso came and he became the permanent 2nd driver.

This was a glorious era in F1's history. Renault was the first team in years to provide Ferrari and the imperious Schumacher with real competition, and their engine technology carried all the way through 2012 with the Red Bulls.
