Rule to be scrapped?

Rule to be scrapped?

of the year if you lose the championship for exactly that point you will ask yourself, not only yourself, but all the fans and the journalists and so on, why didn't you do so?"

Whilst team orders are acceptable to Schumacher, he concedes the point Ferrari could have implemented them in a more subtle way.

"If you go back to other years, other teams and other situations, in the last race (of a season) for example, there were clear team orders, and everybody accepts those," added Schumacher.

"But whether it's the last race, second last race or even earlier, what's the point [sic: difference]?

"I can see in the years when we did it, because we were leading so much, people thought it was unnecessary, and I can agree on that in a way, but in principal I cannot.

"I agree with what's going on. But you have to do it in a way that is maybe nice and not too obvious, make it a nice fight, but there is only one target, and that's winning the championship."

F1 is supposedly the pinnacle of motor sport, the best cars, the best drivers. Drivers....whats that word normally before drivers......oh thats it race! Alonso couldnt race Massa, he had to sook and carry on because Massa would let him through. If these guys cant race, and pass another RACE driver on there on merits then piss off! if teams can decide the out come of a so called race, then i suggest all beating on F1 be scrapped! who wants to put money on a race that can be tampered with. what Ferrari did was no different than what Flavio orchestrated. fixed the race to get the outcome the TEAM wanted. oh and Bernie, piss off and retire for all us RACE lovers sake!
