Anyway you say "better drivers do not want to drive for Ferrari because of their current or previous policies"

Let me ask you, why ? why is it that better drivers do not want to drive for Ferrari ? what are those current/previous policies that cause those better drivers not to drive for them ?

Because of the second driver contracts. You know that.

Yes I do but I want to understand from you what terminology/lingo you use for describing the current/previous policies of Ferrari that makes better drivers not wanting to drive for Ferrari.
I called it veto and you didn't like it so I want to understand what do you call it.

Veto: An authoritative prohibition or rejection of a proposed or intended act.

I call it other drivers not wanting to play with them. No direct action on Ferrari's part.

So when a better driver proposes to Ferrari that he is happy to drive for them on the condition that the 2 drivers get equal status and Ferrari authoritativly reject that. Isn't that a veto.

Really I am not trying to be difficult, just that I want to know where we differ on this as I think we actually agree

To tell you the truth, I asumed that team managers were the ones to shop around for drivers, not the other way around. I could be wrong of course.

If the above is the case, then the driver would reject the package being offered to them if they did not agree with it.

Michael will retire,cos he might not finish a single race this season!!

Not b'cos of reliability but with both Sato & Ide are targetting him.

(Ide said he would like to drive like Sato

)

All the best to all the drivers now too
