    Always thought the conspiracy theories were a little absurd, personally. Then again you had the head of the FIA filmed being spanked by Nazi hookers so I guess anything is possible.

    Personally I think this "theory" about team orders is just another attempt for MS detractors to get their rocks off.

    I think there is too much money in F1 for it to be manipulated like that. Some of the very large businesses with a lot of money involved would not be happy knowing there is race-fixing going on directed from the top. There's just no way I could buy into it.

    I couldn't care less whether MB used team orders or not. That's not the stuff of conspiracy theories anyway.

    But there are very bizarre things happening right in front of our eyes and not questioning them seems naive to me. Particularly with millions if not billions of $$$ at stake.

    Indeed we are. And it is the one and only time I was actually agreeing with Franco (355).

    Hmm, well thank you. Conspiracy theories are a hobby for me. ;)

    Sounds logical.
    The F1 team is just an "employee" of MB corp.
    They "win" each year just by getting funding.

    Michael's behavior is Hamiltonish? Are you sure it isn't the other way around? Who is the master?
    As for Nico's lap times being consistent for the last twelve laps, shouldn't they be going down as fuel is expended? Doesn't that indicate that Nico did slow down relative to the car weight and potential performance?
