Ferrari Mailing List: SPOILER --- Spa Reflections ---SPOILER

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

What a race and what a track! You can't get any further from Valencia than Spa 
Francorchamps. But from where I sat, Kimi threw away the race at the end when 
Hamilton clearly passed him by going off track and straightening out?a 
chicane?at the end. But, as usual, the undisciplined Kimi lost his head and 
tried a suicide pass, which finally resulted in him doing a big?off into the 
guard rail, resulting in his DNF. 

All he had to do was soldier on for a second, and (IMHO) the stewards would 
have penalized Hamilton, and Kimi would have won. Hey, it's not like it hasn't 
happened before.

I have to wonder the reasoning at Ferrari for the 'forced' retirement of 
Michael to bring Kimi onboard. It seems that even without the Old Man, politics 
plays a huge role in Maranello even to this day.

This race only proved to me that NASCAR is the Roller Derby of auto racing. 
What a shame that the 'great unwashed' has sunk to that level.
