i don't see ferrari as being at fault, but i think as THE premier team (in terms of money and fans) that they would have a vested interest in putting on a good show. By being the only competitive team racing, it shows that the have absolute disregard for the sport.

I think Toyota may have more money than Ferrari. If Ferrari elected to boycot the race with all the other teams then there'd be no race. The 6 car race was stupid, but the choice was that or no race at all. I doubt the FIA would be held to ransom and wouldn't bow down to pressure and let the race be run under the conditions specified by the teams.

now if all the teams were free to choose either michelin OR bridgestone at any particular race.... then there could have been all cars on track (albeit with a setup penalty) and a big win for bridgestone PR...

Tyre sponsorship and stupid rules stop a smart idea like this being adopted.

i personally think indy cars are more exciting to watch.. less technology, but they have different tyres to use during the race (they have to swap compounds), push-to-pass.. and evenly matched cars.. all makes for exciting racing..

American shit. Just can't get into it. Sort of like their Nascars and Dragsters. There's something definably American and fake and ... I dunno exactly what it is.. but it doesn't do it for me. In regards to tyres... I've said it on other F1 threads in these forums... I don't like the rule that says you have to run the one set of tyres for the whole race. Sure, start the race on the tryes you qualified with, but you should be able to change tyres during the race, just like they did last year. And, if it wasn't for that stupid rule change, the cars would of all raced and been able to change tyres as desired. Plus, it makes the pit stops more exciting... certainly better than watching some bozo fill a fuel tank.

F1 is great for car nerds and materials engineers (like me Wink
