I just wanted to say that Bernie Ecclestone has very little - if anything - to do with the FIA. He 'manages' (actually owns is a more appropriate term, although I don't think he owns as much as he used to these days) the commercial side of the Formula 1, he merely speaks up about stuff every now and then and applies pressure to Max Mosley (the President of the FIA) to make changes when the sport is sucking arse. I think he is a representative on the board the working group for Formula 1, that means he has a vote on the board, but not much more.
I don't mind Bernie Ecclestone as much as I used to, but I do think Max Mosley (sp?) is a total idiot. Jackie Stewart is also highly to blame for the way the sport is nowadays - but I don't really blame him for everything - making the sport safer *had* to be done, but I think the way it was gone about was a bit screwy.
Firestone is a subsidiary of Bridgestone, which basically means that they can share all the data they like - I don't regard it as cheating now, but it should be addressed in the future when there is a large imbalance between available data at particular tracks for tyre manufacturers.
Everyone saying that it is all Ferrari's fault is way off the mark, and you are probably suffering from tall-poppy syndrome See your local GP.
If you want to blame anyone for the problem, blame Michelin. If you want to blame anyone for not coming up with a solution, blame the FIA. Even though Michelin did not agree to some solutions offered by the FIA - there was reasoning, ideals and some logic behind their refusal to comply - it's the FIA's responsibility to manage and regulate the sport and they failed in their duties to do so, as they have been for a long time now.
