Formel Eins!

I'm more of a Button fan than a Brawn fan. I still haven't forgiven Ross Brawn for the many years of cheating and deviousness spent with Ferrari. Anyone remember the race where Schumacher won a race by crossing the finish line - in the pit lane, which he had to go into to take a 10 second penalty? How can you win a race in the pit lane taking a penalty ffs???

Mind you - thats just clever interpretation fo the rules I suppose. Shoot the race marshalls, stewards and Eccleston!

Yeh I remember that. The one I really didn't like was when Baricello led an entire race brilliantly, completely deserved the win but had to let Schumacher past on the finish line. I think that was the US grand prix.

You had to hand it to Ferrari though, they knew exactly how to exploit all the rules and their defficiencies. And when I say I'm a Brawn fan, I refer to the team not neccesarily the man.

it was austria 2002. They ended up getting a bigass fine, not for the team orders, but for the shennanigans on the podium. They were booed, rightfully IMO even tho they werent breaking any rules. They changed the rules afterwards.

Winning in the pitlane, it was valid. A fuckin masterstroke, tbh. They changed the rules afterwards.

I think I know the US race you mean tho, that was the other way round, shumi slowed up for a 'formation finish' but barichello passed him on the line, won by .001 seconds or somesuch?

as for brawn the team, (honda/bar) Dirty cheats! Given a multiple-race ban for having a dodgy fueltank/underweight car in 2005!!

and brawn the man - dodgy fuel refillers on the bennetons back in the schumi days?
multiple penalties handed out when the fia were doing everything they could to stop them winning?

that's a tainted team you are following there!

bitter, me? naaw.
