Someone should be sacked!

the strategist at Scuderia Ferrari F1...

In Malaysian GP, they held Massa in the pits during qualifying, thinking there's not enough time for others to beat his time... but they calculated wrongly and Massa did not even qualify for Q2 qualifying session. Then during the race, they put on wet tyres on Kimi's car when the rain was still a good 15 minutes away! No need to ask, he destroyed the tyres, well before the first drop of rain.

Then last night at Spanish GP, they short-fueled Massa, who was running 3rd at the time. But it was too short and he did not have enough fuel to complete the race! He had to yield to conserve fuel and bring the car to the chequered flag. He lost 3rd place to Vettel. They thought they had enough cushion to Alonso with a 16 seconds gap. Massa was doing 4.5 sec/lap slower with a remaining 4 laps. Wouldn't that equal to 18 seconds!?

What were THEY thinking?

This kind of elementary mistakes is really unexpected in the uber high-tech F1 sport. More so form a team who have won the championship umpteen time in recent years. And just let's not recall last year's season, which is just more embarassing to them.
