Real racing thread

[rong]

In fact, what would it say about a racing driver who would just accept 2nd place. That's not the kind of driver I'd be willing to pay millions for.

Hopefully management won't make such decisions in future

meh. don't hold ur breath, really.

don't get me wrong, rong (see wot i did there?) - i want to see full-on racing as much as you do, but that's the delicious dichotomy of F1: it's a team sport where your bitterest rival is the guy across the garage from you.

The drivers are focussed on the WDC and the glory. However, the important contest is for the constructors' title, as this is the one that decides how big a slice of the pie each team gets for next season.

And it's that pie that pays everyones' wages, not just the drivers'.

There will always be team orders (legal or otherwise) in F1 as long as there are teams. End of.
