This is another nail in the coffin of F1. I do have some sympathy for Ron, imagine having both the current world champion and a rookie who is
trouncing all comers in the same team!
In reality there are just too many rules and restrictions in F1 just like happened in big Yacht racing a few years ago when it didn't matter
which boat came first in a race as, by the end, the leading boats had hoisted protest flags and races were settled in the stewards room over fine
interpretation of the rules.
Colin Chapman let the genie of money out of the bottle when he painted the Lotus 49 in Gold Leaf colours while retaining the 5" X 11"
legal advert on his cars. The bottom line is there is just too much money in F1. Less dependence on cash and more on ingenuity of designers, less
tightly defined rules, more driver skill required all would give much better racing, more experimental developments and in the end better TV.

i feel most sorry for Ron, he looked very unhappy in the post race interview.

He really did look broken, didn't he. It seems he's taken the allegations surrounding this spying thing very much as an attack on his
personal integrity and then this weekend he has his cherished protege literally tell him to f--k off after he's supported and nurtured his
career for the last decade. I suspect Ron could do with a hug this evening!

He's the boss and, like industry, he has to take the blame. It's the nature of management.
The team is tarnished.

I also felt sorry for Ron Dennis, and I'm not a fan of his by a long way...
Lewis may be fast, metronomic maybee, but fast all the same, but when you start to mistreat team bosses, you might end up toiling to get a drive in a
Spyker

Isn't that similar to what happened to Damen Hill when he fell out with Frank Williams - this season Williams driver and world champ, next
season TWR and the odd nice day out at the racing!

I can't see why the stewards were involved, it was a team matter and they would still have been in first and second position without the
intervention.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
