Ferrari Mailing List: Re: SPOILER? FA v. KR = sad day at Ferrari

[George P . (ygpz4re]

I do stand corrected on one point - a long-time F-list lurker pointed out to me 
(correctly) that F1 is about *MONEY* first and foremost, and then about 
driving, competing, etc etc etc.......  Integrity and ethics?  Not even in the 
book (these days).  Sad.
