5/3/11,
Scuderia changed the name of the new car again!!
The conflict between Ferrari and Ford about the codename of the car of the Italian team for the 2011 has come to its end. The F150 has caused the reaction of the other party motor vehicle because of the existence of a model called F-150.
What we know is that the ''red'' again changed the code name of the new weapon of Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, and now it will be named not as a F150th Italia but as a Ferrari 150 ° Italia. Indeed, it was announced with a sarcastic way through the column «Horse Hisperer» in the site of Scuderia.
Detail what was written there:
"It looks like a Kafka scenario,but the affair relating to the name of the car with which Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa will tackle this year’s Formula 1 World Championship saw its final and decisive episode played out these past few days with the concomitant withdrawal by Ford of the summons. Therefore common sense has prevailed. Ford withdrew the charges and the common sense was prevailed. In order to avoid any risk to confuse Formula 1car with a Pick-Up, the team of decided that the car would not get the letter F before the 150 that represents the brand name as on numerous occasions in the past. It seems that this would cause too much confusion in the minds of consumers around the world.
“It appears that this could have caused so much confusion in the minds of the consumer across the Pond that, at the same time as losing the F, the name will be completely Italianised, replacing the English “th” with the equivalent Italian symbol. The official name is now Ferrari 150 ° Italia, which even in the most curious minds, it will look clearly that it is a tribute to the anniversary of the unification of our country. Let's hope that this matter can finally end and concentrate on more serious things. "
