    Re: Lawyers Sent In !

    Hey guys, i wasted my sunday by driving to indy with my friend to see the worst racing disgrace ever!

    We left after the 5th lap... what bullshit! I cant believe it, i spent $85 on the ticket + gas/food/time/etc

    not to mention some other people have paid for plane tickets, etc... what a joke of a race!

    Horrible! It was a great crowd, of 150,000 just sucks that we all got SCREWED!

    All teams were in the formulation lap, not sure does it count?

    LOL this is true and an unfortunate shadow that hangs over the sport

    Dr Phil,from what I gather you are saying that Ferrari should have pulled out of the race.For the sake of sportsmanship etc etc.

    However,I highly doubt the other teams would pull out of a race,if Ferrari had to due to technical problems.Let us also not forget that Ferrari are the defending champions,what would a victory be without beating the defending champions?

    From what you have posted above and in the past ie Ferrari and Michael bashing,to the extreme,I feel you would be the first one to rip them off,if they had the exact same problem ie "Ferrari is so stupid,they cant even make a tire to go round turn 13 and Michaels so dumb he cant even slow down through the turn etc" So I think the tune you are blowing is a bit out of kilter

    Just my 2 cents

    Re: Send in the lawyers.....

    As I've said before I fully agree with those who say there is nothing wrong with Ferrari's win - from a legal POV.
    And it's certainly NOT Ferrari's problem that Michelin isnt performing.

    If only, say, Red Bull and Mclaren had pulled out for technical reasons that were exclusive to them, I would see no reason why Ferrari shouldn't race.

    However, Ferrari thinks it's ok to run a race with 70 percent (SEVENTY PERCENT! NOT just one team or two) of the teams opting out and the only competition are two teams with used Ferrari engines and absolutely no chance of ever posing threat to anyone but themselves.

    Ferrari are the defending champs as you pointed out. Defending!
    Who are they defending from when none of the other teams are running?
    Correct, "not their fault", but it certainly is their problem if they have any interest in claiming the REAL F1 throne, and not just pile up points for a hollow win.

    It's like a soccer team continuing a game when the other team has opted to leave because their shoes malfunction and the ref wont let them change them.

    You're absolutely right that the Ferrari F1 team is not my cup of tea. Sadly one of the most skilled and sympathetic drivers - Barrichello- is part of that "package".
    They often have their own, special view on things and Schumi simply blows my fuses. The man is a disgrace to F1 IMO.

    By the way:
    I like your own attempt at bashing Schumi at the end of your post. With a little practice you could become really good! Keep it up!
