Do you believe the last half of the season was scripted?

When spygate broke out it seemed that the FIA just wanted to sweep it under the carpet. But Ferrari and a huge outcry from the Tifosi forced another meeting of the WMSC. The meeting was scheduled but before it took place some new evidence appeared that shook the F1 world and Mclaren Mercedes. We all know the story but the FIA knew what they had and knew that they could not exclude Mclaren in both the WCC and WDC. So to make it look good they granted the "snitch drivers" immunity. I believe that the FIA did this so as to not loose monies by declaring Ferrari winners of both championships. Interest in the remaining races would have been lost. It’s not just the tickets that may not have been sold at the remaining venues but the advertisement revenue that would have to have been sold at a much cheaper rate as the viewership would have dropped dramatically. There were millions of dollars involved maybe hundreds of millions. So the script for the remaining races was written and the 2 top teams mainly Mclaren would have no choice but to follow it or pay the price of next season when they would find Ferrari designed parts on the Mclaren cars. It was obvious to me that something was amiss when Hamilton no longer looked and talked as excited as he was in the first half of the season. To me it was also obvious that he parked it in the gravel trap. Leading up to the final race all he had to do was finish top 5 and this should have been very easy but wait an electronic failure set him back to 18th place only to mysteriously disappear for the rest of the race. Alonso's car also seemed to lack power to forge up and attempt to steal the championship. We all knew that it was next to impossible for Kimi to win the WDC but as the race unfolded right from the first lap it became clearer and clearer what was happening. I believe that the end result was just, as Mclaren should have been stripped of both championships back in Sept. but as I said $$$$ came into play and the script was written for everyone to follow. Yes Mclaren was allowed to adlib but in the end Ferrari had to win. I’m glad that Ferrari won but the way it was done was wrong and the FIA have taken us all for fools. A good friend of mine who has been a Ferrari fan almost since the day he was born in 1954 not far from the Ferrari factory called me before the race ended yesterday and laughed and said to me that this is just like Hollywood and I’m afraid that he is right. And no, now they will not find Ferrari parts on the Mclaren next season.

 

It did seem very scripted, a little too coincidental. Kimi is down by 17 with 2 to go, and magically Hamilton "crashes" and his car stops shifting and then magically starts again. I really don't care though, just as long as Kimi and Ferrari both win.

 

I doubt it, not even Hollywood could come with what we just witnessed!

 

Not a chance. If they had tried to script it, they would have all screwed it up so bad that Takuma Sato would have won the WDC. Those idiots collectively could screw up a free lunch.

 

No, not at all.

 

What kind of TV or movies are you guys watching?

No writer could have come up with that kind of plot.

Besides: If a write had scripted this, he couldn't have resisted his inner nature of bringing a love interest into the equation. Or at least an ER doctor, an LA lawyer and a CSI investigator. At the very least.

 

Maybe you're right about the love interest thing. Now this picture makes sense.

No, but I would've bet everything I own that Hamiliton would scored more than 2 points in the final 2 races -- minor miracle!

 

well, not everything. But if I could have been in Reno to place a sports bet: it would have been on LH. what a melt down. Almost too bad for words....

and btw, when I posted this......I would have placed some more bets on Kimi as a hedge.

Bernie's production had to many people doing ad lib

 

well i guess you're on to me. i have to admit it was i who planned the whole season out. if you liked this years results just wait 'till next year. could ms make a comeback???? or maybe jpm??? only i know for sure. ;-)

 

My personal belief is that Hamilton had exactly what it took to win the Championship: tremendous skill and racecraft, team support, one of the two best cars, physical capability, ability to deal with stress, ability to do astoundingly well on tracks he had never seen, etc., etc.

His "failures" at the last two races were just TOO suspicious. He didn't crash out of the race in China, in difficult conditions, he went off at minimum speed and didn't even touch the wall. No one else had any trouble getting into the pits. And in Brazil, he lost exactly enough time to put him into a losing position: not too much, not too little. And who has ever heard of a temporary failure like that, it's ridiculous!

And in Japan, he made it look very much like he was trying to get knocked out of the race while behind the safety car.

Nah, I don't believe it all happened that way without some outside influence. He should have walked away with the title after building up that points lead.

You can't "script" things like a race in a downpour, but you can script how to gain and lose enough points to get a desired result.

 

I have long thought since Schumachers last world Championship .... F-1 has been scripted. I know all the theorys etc ... but I think the FIA has a real hand in how the "show" is put on... just like the WWF.... they dont even refer to is as a sport any more its all about the show... so why not script it... its always popular if Ferrari wins, or Alonso previous WC... and the rookie coming from nowhere...
its a good story.

I hope I'm wrong, but with the tight world of F-1 I woudl not put it past them.

 

No hamilton made mistakes through out the season, and heck so did everyone else, but he made them at the worst possible time. Rather then scripting i would say that maybe fernando paid someone off in Brazil. Haha just kidding.......maybe.....

 

Agree with you completely. Actually, everything that has happened has made the sport look really stupid to non-fans.

 

If the season was scripted, then Elvis still lives, and we never landed on the moon IMHO.

In other words: No

 

no script just F1...ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT.......NICE OUTCOME THOUGH

 

That's just it. Too perfect to be scripted. Too complex to be scripted.
When you're dealing with so many variables the only way to comprehensively
influence the result is to set up the conditions in which the variables
will interact, but that's not scripting.

If the Brazil gp was scripted the intelligent design amalgam would take note.


>And who has ever heard of a temporary failure like that, it's ridiculous!

LH apparently indicated he accidentally re-inited/booted the car hence the temp prblms.

 

+1

And I don't believe Schumi's 7 WDCs were scripted either.

 

who cares? the title is in Maranello now

 

Hard to tell. I doubt it was "scripted" per se without someone talking about it. (There was only Bill and Monica in the room, and they couldn't keep that story out of the press. )

No question that there was a lot of microfiddling from the FIA to try to make the season "exciting" (in a WWF1 kind of way).

And I'd think that China DNF for Hamilton did look very scripted. (Ineffectual prodding at the tires by the track workers, Ron not going ballistic, etc) .... except that I've seen Senna stuff his car into the Armco at the tunnel entrance when leading Monaco by over half a minute.

It's called "brain fade".

I think the "script" was written by the PR people who had Hamilton thinking about his schedule after having won the championship instead of concentrating on winning the championship.

Remember Wirdheim waving to his pit crew at the finish of the '03 F3000 Monaco race .... and being passed by Kiesa in the last few car lengths?

The rookie made rookie mistakes.

That's why rookies don't win the championship.

 

"Don't argue with me, Ron! Tell the kid if he pushes the button for 30 seconds, Kimi's engine will blow up!"

Aha! That's the problem. McLunk is already using Windoze for Wacecars. Hit the "start" button and it stops. To start, hit the "kill" switch.

 

Absolutely not. No driver will sacrifice a chance at the WDC for any amount of money or favoritism. It would be like a QB losing Superbowl on purpose- it doesn't happen because it is a once in lifetime opportunity that is worth more than money.

 

damn...is that really him? hahaha
