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

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
