Should be against the rules - both the drivers looked gutted, massive confusion on the podium

Unbelievable

 

[Hashmonster]

did u see the look that ralph gave to michael? absolute disgust on his face.

completely ridculous

 

[old.Jas]

I don't think it was Schumacher's call - came from above him. He might be german - but I don't think hes as low as that

 

[Summo]

So, um... what actually happened?

[Summo]

Right. So why might this happen? Somebody high-up wants Schumacher specifically to win over his team-mate, Barrichello. I get that. But why?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Because Schumacher will win the Championship, so Ferrari want him to have the full 10points, to make sure Montoya doesn't have a chance.

However, it is more than disgracefull.

 

[old.Jas]

Dunno really. Prolly sponsorship led - thats all they seem to care about at the end of the day.

Imagine all the photos of sponsors logos in the papers if Schumacher won the most races ever... or if he became the most dominant sportsperson ever (above Stephen Hendry)

[Embattle]

It took the piss.

 

[PR.]

F1 sux

I like Rally driving more involved, more to see

 

[mr.Blacky]

ahh but schumi wasn't happy with it too, he even push Barrichello on the top podium

 

[Hashmonster]

it was a good race for a change tho, just ruined by that crap at the end

its schueys contract tahts the prob thing is if, its believed that its written in his contract that if he’s championship status is "under pressure" Ferrari must ask his team mate to help. So Ferrari are shitting themselves if he some how loses a massive points lead. Scheuy must have big lawyers



Someone wrote an article along these lines in an Italian sports paper when Ferrari sighed him but had its pulled at the last minute I think I read about the Italian article in the guardian or the times during last years season when the Ferrari boss was seen jumping up an down and heard yelling into his mike to Ruben Barrichello “ for the sake of the champion ship let micheal pass”

Woulda been much better entertainment if macleren/Williams drivers were leading as they don’t ask their drivers to left the other pass by.

F1 went down the drain years ago. totally fixed

For someone who write eloquent, clear news articles, Yaka your forum posts are diabolical.

Ferrari should be disqualified from the championship, now lets have some real racing. F1 is seriously worse off with Ferrari, from a viewers perspective. It's no fun to watch and the result is ever predictable, especially with race fixes like this, the bugger can't loose.

 

[(Shovel)]

Bit harsh BB. Ferrarri are a good team. But this tactical bullshit deserves punishment. Money doesn't hurt them so they should lose points.

Bear in mind that a lot of the sport is supported by betting. Now what does somebody do when they see that Ferrarri have fixed the race. Sue them?

 

[Hashmonster]

never thought about it from the gambling point of view, god i'd be pissed off if i'd bet on it

 

[mr.Blacky]

who would be stupid enough to bet against schumi?
but supported by betting? no it aint, its supported by advertisement (used to be tobacco adds) and sponsers.

He already has won the most races ever I think.

Or Rollen Ratzenburger (not sure about the spelling) the unknown newbie driver who died the day before Ayrton.
Always remember the day Senna died, it was the day our house was broken into, and the last time I saw my grandad on my mother's side alive.

Many many moons ago, I was typing up a proposal for a new network at my old place. We used Lotus AmiPro - forerunner of WordPro - a nice easy little wordlyprocessor with a spellcheck. I was proposing that we bit the bullet & go for these new-fangled Pentiums that were all the rage. Unfortunately, AmiPro didn't recognize "Pentium" and suggested I might want to replace it with "Penguin" or "Penis"! Hah! One in the eye for WinTel, eh?
