Ne0 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 oh ! in 'headlines today', they said McLarens has been banned ! anyway, i stopped following F1 after schumi's departure, without him, F1 is not the same ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 btw ... they have not been banned ... its just that they have to prove that they have not stolen ferraris intell property ..... which i am sure they didnt ... so dont go celebrating yet .... It has been "proven" by the puke sippers at the FIA that McLaren did know about the Ferrari data in possession of Mike Coughlan and that it had been used to gain an unfair advantage. So they have been stripped of all constructors points for this season and fined US$ 100 million less loss of FOM money. If any McLaren driver wins any subsequent race this season, no McLaren personnel will be allowed on the podium and no constructor's trophy will be awarded. But the drivers have been shielded because they provided evidence in the case. So the drivers championship is still very much on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketTantrik Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 There is a reason why F1 personnel dont stand up and openly question the policies and decisions of the chiefs of the FIA. They get their asses handed to them thru manipulations and bending of moral and ethical codes of conduct. Ron Dennis, the principle of the McLaren team has long been an open opponent to Max Mosley, the president of the FIA. So this is Mosley's way of dealing with him. A similar thing happened with Ken Tyrell and his Tyrell F1 team. Ken was a vociferous critic of the FIA's underhanded dealings and support to certain people and teams. Flavio Briatore (Benetton and Renault) was a past favourite and Jean Todt (Ferrari) is the current mistress. and coincidently, both had Michael Schumacher as their driver during their respective controversies Ken's team was banned from F1 because they were found to have used illegal fuel. But repeated counts of cheating against Benetton and Ferrari have usually resulted in inaction, or at worst, slap-on-the-wrist types of punishment.

MarketTantrik Posted September 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Belgian GP - September 16, 2007 Sigh !! A very boring race ! 1] Kimi 2] Felipe 3] Fernando 4] Lewis 5] Nick 6] Nico Bah ! Who cares about the rest ............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 It wasn't boring, just because Ferrari and Mclarens didn't battle it out. The race down the ranks was terrific, specially the fight between Kubica, Coulthard and Kovalainen. LMAO at Kubica, he was locking his wheel every time he crossed the first chicane. Poor Coulthard, my sympathies with him. But as always, its just fun to watch those cars twist and turn at 200mph. Belgian circuit FTW !!

MarketTantrik Posted September 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 It was boring because the contenders for the title fight did not stir up any excitement. Battles are always on lower down the order. It still didnt make the race any more exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Karnage Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 There's hardly been any on-track overtaking this season among the front runners. What's happening to racing? Everyone keeps waiting for pit stops to see who's overtaken whom. The only racing going on was between Kovalainen and Heidfeld. Ferrari should get rid of Massa and get Sato, then we'd see some on-track excitement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
