Understandably Fisi was not too jazzed about the most recent comments attributed to Mr. E regarding Ralf and Fisi testing at Force India. While admitting that Mr. E is the father of F1, he also reminds us all that he won first in 2005. ??? Uh, OK. He suggested that team orders prevented him from winning at Renault while Alonso was there and that 2007’s car was a pig. I’m not sure any of that looks too good on a resume, Fisi. May want to keep crafting it for Force India’s brass.
Get your TPF swag here:
Bernie should follow his own advice and retire as he, obviously, is beyond his prime also…..
Fisi gets it wrong too… Bernie isn’t the “father” of F1, he is the “Shiva” of F1….

i just don’t think it’s mr. e’s place to be making comments on drivers. he should stick to the busines of making money and running the show. not that he can’t have opinions, but statements like that generate ill feelings amongst the throngs (is that a legitimate phrase?). but you know, he may be a father, but he didn’t raise these kids. once you take a hit at a driver in a public comment, no matter who he is, the mud will start being thrown. just my 2 rupees.
Well at least Fisi tried to stand up for himself.

Perhaps but I think Mr. E likes to stir things up a bit and says things that seem off-the-cuff when they are really meant to spur some sort of reaction and press the limit’s of his sport. I have found that very little that leaves his mouth is without calculation.
Fisi should have bit the proverbial tongue on that one.
Nah I’m with Lucas. It’s damn good to see some fight out of Fisi for once. If he takes that attitude into the season he might just have something left to offer.
Hey hey hey to be fair it was a good piece of article to read. Some entertainment and good to see Fisico can stand up for himself. But well it was not exactly Mr. E’s place to say that. Just because he’s sitting on 2 billion quids he thinks he can make those comments? Oh wait.
