Formula One
« on: 22:23:02, 14/09/07 »
McLaren and Ferrari, are they the only teams racing in the Formula One Championship ??
I don't understand which 'teams' raced before or why one of them was fined £50 million
'Bernard Charles "Bernie" Ecclestone' makes me feel quite uneasy, when I see him on TV and I realise he is involved in all sorts of financial operations, well beyond motor racing
Is all sport corrupt and does this affect your appreciation ??  :o

there have been accusations of "spying" and suspicions ever since the nineties, usually between McLaren, Ferrari and Benetton, but never anything like the fine of £50million and confiscation of contructor points, I'm just thankful the drivers Hamilton and Alonso have not had points deducted from their totals as this would have been grossly unfair.

I think Ferrari have behaved rather spitefully in all this anyway, top level sport is notoriously competitive to the edge of using whatever means is available to 'steal a lead'  ???
