Firestorm in the press about Ferrari team orders

People want to be deceived, they just don't want to know it.
Sad but true.

I think the BBC coverage showed how hypocrite Jordan is. The footage of the Spa race with Hill and Ralf Schumacher was very clear about a team order being given.

Anyway team orders were permitted back then.

It seems that Austria 2002 was a turning point where there have become two lines of thought.

One says team orders should be allowed, the other says let them race, even if it costs them the WDC and/or WCC. All for the show. I think the latter is looking at a race to race basis while the former looks at the bigger picture. In the end it's not about winning races but about winning titles. So banning team orders is against the core of this sport. Why bother participating otherwise?

 

Bingo!

PS: I love your avatar! The blue 308 (Michelotto?) was cool too, but this one is too cute.

 

Team orders are not banned, it is obvious team orders that are banned.

Any questions?

 

Thanks, it reminds me a bit of our old cat. After the blue Michelotto I had ia pic of my own blue 308. That will come back when I have taken some decent pictures of it with my new polarization filters.

 

Sorry if that means you lost your cat recently

 

The only team orders that are banned are the ones you get caught using!.
