do any of you follow the Grand Prix? its a passion with me, but sometimes I really do dislike the sport! yesterday, the austrian GP was an excellent example of why, all weekend Ruebens Barrichello had been on top form, fastest in qualifying, warm up laps, practice, free sessions etc, was on pole position and led the race to the end, with "schuey" tailing him all the way, it was an eventful race, but became a farce when as Rubens came around the last corner, heading for the chequered flag some 100 yards away, "team orders" were given to Ruebens to slow down and move over for "schuey" to take the race! Teh Team insist that it was in the interest of winning the drivers championship, well "schuey" winning it for the 5 time. the corwd showed their feelings by Booing "schuey", and other drivers looked on in amazement. Despite that fact that we, the supporters, know that Ruebens' contract (newly signed for 2 years and 10 million $) states that he is number 2, and is there to support "schuey", and try to achieve the best position he can at the end of the race to get the most points for the constructors championship, such blatent "team orders" did nothing for the sport, nor winning "fair and square!" Schuey is some 20 odd points clear of his nearest rival, and "aquired" 4 points yesterday that he did not get by his own performance, Schuey said at the press conference later, " you never know what will happen in the next race and we would be kicking ourselves if we lost the championship by those 4 points" Personally, I hope that Schueys's car is totally unreliable for the rest of the season, and that Barichello misses the championship by 4 points, egg on face for Ferrai then! I know that sounds cruel. and I would like ruebens to do well, but I am sure you get the point I am making! Mellie IBSSG How Come My Coat Of Arms Has Buckles At The Back?
