Interesting (if off topic) statistics here. Ferrari has more retirements than any other team in the history of F1.

Is this because they are stupid, or incompetent? Or is it because of long term participation, and a "nothing ventured, nothing gained" attitude?

Classic content.... Like was said earlier, more miles on more cranks = more breakage. Are there more broken campagnolo cranks than one would like? Obviously yes, but it's not like Campangolo didn't do anything about it. (C-Record) How ironic it must be to many list members, if many of the changes Jan suggests, NR and SR would have been replaced by more modern parts earlier, which is an odd situation for a retro-phile to argue!!
