Unfortunately we see similar happenings in horse racing, cycling, touring cars, in fact almost (I'd guess every sport) where a human has control of the outcome. It's part of sport and yes, it can be frustrating - especially when your hero is on the tail end of it. It's important to remember there is no 'spirit of the rules' - there is just rules and how you can best use them to your advantage.Nando wrote:I have accepted Vettel won, that´s ok.Cam wrote:You're flogging a dead horse Nando and it's not a good reflection as most of the time I like what you say. You're singling one driver out when all are guilty. Come to peace with it and lets move on to 2013.
That´s not my focus as you can see. It´s just not Formula One to me, it´s just not racing to me. It´s pure politics.
And thanks i like what you have to say as well,
Alonso in the German GP in 2010 was a great example. There were rules stating no team orders, which Ferrari broke and were subsequently penalised. Now if Massa had just come to that conclusion himself and let Alonso through without any radio, that would have been ok - not in the spirit (there is no spirit), but in the rules. There is the clear distinction and something most posters on this thread are ignoring. And yes, it's been happening in F1 as long as I can recall, it is part of the sport.
...or perhaps..

- Let's discuss something technical, empirical..not a matter of our own opinion?
