the Formula Race Results db is updated
P3 and p6 in the final race of the season, it provides another cup, but it barely saves the season's impressions that there is something major going wrong with the Scuderia. VET (212 pts.) finishes 4th and RAI (186 pts.) came in as 6th in the table, sums up to 398 pts. for the Scuderia, way behind Mercedes and even demoralized by Red Bull.

The Scuderia will sure have the first glance on the own performance, but, F1 will have to have a very, very close look on their regularities and their behavior with giving penalties. Even being a promising talent should not allow the loss of following rules, even they are not existing in written format or did not before the stewarts had to decide different.

2016 leaves the question how much sense there is for the Scuderia to compete in Formula 1. Is there any street car sold because to team wins a Grand Prix? Is the amount of marketing- and merchandising-revenues still that high enough to legitimate participating in a racing series without tension and tranparicy?

2017 will be different, we know, and it sure will be another year in company with the Scuderia. Plans for the season might be to real to stop, but, before thinking of waiving a Christmas party, the team leaders, meaning Marchionne first, should focus on the company that will become 70 years of age in 2017.
