Button: "Alonso title win would be tainted"
doubleonothing replied to Sheaf Saint's topic in Motoring Forum
In addition to Jack Frost's point regarding Germany 08 you only have to look at Turkey this year when the McLaren's were told to "save fuel" (something Jenson didn't do and raced Hamilton). However the way Ferrari did it is what has caused the most gripes. Ferrari did it blatently as they always seem to have done so (the most obvious being Austria when Rubens pulled over to hand victory to MSC). However not as shocking as when Ferrari tried to engineer a "dead heat" race result at USA 02 when Rubens ended up winning by mere hundreths of second. Team orders which deprive the fan of a genuine race are wrong. However at this time of the year when a championship is on the line they have to be allowed. The question is how can they be policed? One of the ways I can think of is for each team to have a dedicated number 1 driver who will always be given preferential treatment and no matter where they happen to be running in a race (be it 1-2 or 19-20) if the teams 2 cars are running line astern with the number 2 driver ahead of the number 1 driver, the number 2 driver has to allow the number 1 driver through. At least that way everyone will know it is going to happen! (However the betting fraternaty may have something to say about it) -
I've been there twice. First time I went it started to rain when we arrived in the car park and continued when we went into the village itself. The whole place was silent with people walking round in silence. Even the birds didn't seem to be making any noise. A bit eery but at the same time moving and fascinating. The visitors centre has a very good exhibition which is very informative about what happened.

Would prefer Webber over Vettel if it's not going to be Lewis (which now seems unlikely). Jenson could always make himself useful and take the 2 red bulls and Alonso out at turn 1! With Lewis at 66-1 it could be a nice little earner! -

Not sure why its so relevant that grounds in the 2011 world cup are going to be smaller than SMS? Of more relevance is the fact that there are grounds at the 2015 world cup which will be smaller than SMS.

Can't remember the exact wording but something along the lines of "if you're having problems with the offical saints coverage tune into Solent which can be found on the BBC sport Fa Cup page" and that it wasn#t Solents fault.
