TheDreamTeam

Ferrari

2007 was all change for Ferrari, with the dream team heading on to pastures new it was up to the new guard to show they had the talents to take Ferrari onwards. And it was another close fought battle this time with old time rivals McLaren stepping up to the plate. Ferrari endured a difficult season at times with reliability issues but new driver Kimi Raikkonen kept himself in the title hunt (only just at times). And in a stunning and dramatic final race of the season in Brazil the Finish driver took the title by 1 point from Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.

Ferrari would shuffle their management once again for 2008, with Stefano Domenicali leading the team on yet another title hunt. Ultimately the job was done as Ferrari secured their 16th Constructor's title with relative ease ahead of bitter rivals McLaren. However the season was not filled with perfection, with many mistakes littering the season, the pitstop traffic light system was ditched after it cost Felipe Massa a win in Singapore, split second decisions on the pit wall that always seemed to go right for Ferrari this year turned out to go wrong. However the title for the team was secured but with Felipe Massa missing out on the driver's title by 1 point it is surely with some regret that Ferrari look back on 2008. But the team will be ready to tackle the challenges of 2009.
