I can't say I think anyone directly involved in the whole USGP debacle is totally blameless. But I can see one standpoint of Ferrari. They had a lot to gain by running uncontested on an empty track. And even if the Michelin teams gave up all claim to points and started at the back of the grid, A Ferrari could still get tangled up with a Michelin car (that had nothing to loose), and be out the otherwise giftwrapped points that come from a nearly guranteed 1-2 finish. Was is good sportsmanship? No. But was it good tactics? Yeah. But what would have been the result if Ferrari pulled in and left Jordan in the grid. Would we have seen an even worse sham? Jordan, 1-2 in a race of 2... What would have resulted from a race that didn't happen at all?
Pip! Pip! For DC! He said he wanted to race, and he was serious. However, the driver's don't make the decisions in F1. Wasn't it just a few years ago that the drivers called a race at California Speedway because of safety concerns? At least they did it with more advance notice, and no one "crossed". -Josh2 |
