The notion of sportsmanship was clearly lost on Ferrari yesterday, gone are the days when it was commonplace for teams and drivers to assist their rivals with spare parts etc who would otherwise have to sit out the race because of mechanical problems.  


Ferrari? Why would anyone blame this farce on Ferrari? If anyone is to blame it is either the teams and/or michelin.
Now it was 3 teams able to race, what do you think would have happened if it was the other way around? If Bridgestone had the problem and Ferrari, Jordan and Minardi asked for the trackchange? You think all 7 teams would have agreed?

Don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of Ferrari (at all), but I do think they did right in racing.

Because a compromise was almost reached on Sunday morning when all the teams (bar one) agreed to have Barcelona spec Michelins flown in.  Ferrari objected and the teams decided not to race - wisely considering the apalling risks of injury to drivers.

I felt Ferrari's decision was hardly sporting under the circumstances, but allowed them a win nonetheless.


I thought the Barcelona spec tyres had the same flaw?!
It just would have been so much better if the ferrari's didn't make it to the finish line, almost happened when schumi nearly bumped rubens off :)

Our dutch driver would have had a podium, something I consider impossible with a minardi...

At least he has a great boss, not afraid to criticize...
