Oh By The Way...Your Coming Second

First blog in a while, and what a way in which to write it, after my abysmal choices in the WSOP i manage to find people worth millions more than me and far smarter than me making equally abysmal choices...Formula one took a strange turn today...it became more open.

The reason for that is simple, its well known that in formula one teams give orders to their drivers, even if the rules ban such a thing from happening its widely understood that it happens anyway.

But the fact stands that their are rules in place that prohibit team orders, so the point is simple, if your going to break this rule, at the very least...dont make it so pathetically obvious, Ferrari today managed to not only do it, not only make it obvious, but also managed to look very foolish in their backtracking after the race

End result? Massa gets completely done over by the very team he's stood by for so many years, Alonso is now Ferrari's golden boy after only half a season, Ferrari takes a $100,000 fine despite the race result still standing, the media are in uproar, the crowd werent exactly happy, and the general concensus is that the viewer feels cheated out of a decent fight. i mean, whats to fight for when the race was decided by the simple words "Alonso is faster. than. you", the most useless attempt at coding the simple words "Get out of the f*cking way!", the appology just made it even more obvious.

Now my personal view matches the sentiments of almost everyone else. I dont have a problem with team orders, as was mentioned when the race was live, team efforts and team choices can trace their routes back to the start of the sport, so to deny it would be to deny a part of the heritage, but if your going to break a rule most teams do anyway (regardless of what they say), at the very least make some codewords up the public cant understand, or say the drivers have a problem! what happened today is not uncommon, its just concealed normally

The Good People Are Just The Bad People Who Don't Get Caught

Now the matter has been forwarded to the world council, who, with infinite power, will provide a suspended three race ban, quickly followed by amended team order rules for 2011, and in the next race alonso will be outqualifyed by massa yet still finish in front

Dont ask me why...i just have a feeling about that one :)
