In short, the other night both Dom (Domenicali) and Cola (Colajanni) came to ask what the hell had happened to the Clog (Blog).

Since frankly I do not know and do not understand I explained to both of them that it was a healthy process of detoxification.

After that.

After that Stefano Domenicali sent me a message in the bottle, which I entrust to the raging sea of ​​the Web, along with best wishes.

Here you go.

'Dear Leo, we have perhaps learned the lesson. Thus, the new car should not be in imbalance. We have completely changed our approach to the design phase, philosophically I might say. But the clock looks at the results on tracks. Twelve months ago we thought we were ahead, but you know how things went ... '

'... The criticisms that have been made for 2011 are sacrosanct. We hadn't made the car the way we wanted to. It was great to win at Silverstone, sixty years since Ferrari's first success in F1. And maybe with a bit more luck we could have been able to win a couple more races. But the budget however is negative ... '

'... Unless what? Alonso, surely. And although many do not want to believe, I assure you that we have improved in terms of management, in terms of strategies. We won almost nothing but often we climbed on the podium just because we have gone along with good efforts from Fernando in the pits. It can and must be a point of restart, as football coaches say ... '

'... Kubica? You should be very serious. Today at Christmas not even Robert knows how his recovery evolves. We root for him, but we put his health first, his integrity as a man. That's why we have never suggested putting him to a F1 test. Ever since late spring Kubica has not been certain. Humanly speaking I hope to see him back on the race tracks as leader. He is a friend, he is a champion ...'

'... of course I have spoken with Kimi. I've already told you before that the relationship with Raikkonen was and has remained excellent. What did he say to me? That he is happy and convinced he made the right choice for himself. Will he be competitive? I have no doubt about that he can take the extra out of the car. Schumacher is back and he hasn't forgotten how to drive, he has never been on the podium in two seasons and it's not because of him... '

... The concept of Massa is very well known. We had a disappointing year, in every sense. We have not decided anything in advance, the president said that we are looking around and it's true, I guess Felipe is also doing the same, but if he is committed to drive fast, like when he was the companion of Schumi and Kimi, why should we change it ?...'

'... Finally, I do not feel anxious, I'm not a manager on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I love what I do, but exclude the possibility that my destiny depends upon the car. Once I told you that I'm not going to grow old in the paddock and I say that again. Afraid of being fired? Well, there is no Article 18 in F1... '

'Finally, Merry Christmas to your cloggari (bloggers), even to those not cheering for Ferrari. In fact, why did you stop?...'
