Shamed Scarlet Ferrari

As u all may not know, I am an avid F1 fan... But yesterday's race is the most fraud grand prix that I will ever see...

FYI, For those who don't watch F1, there are 2 main tyre manufacturers providing racing tyres: Michellin & Bridgestone... Michellin supply tyres for 7 of the 10 teams, namely Toyota, Mercedes & Renault; while Bridgestone provides for Ferrari & 2 other back marker team....

In this US Grand Prix, it's discovered that the Michellin tyre may not withstand the immense pace throughout the entire race.... To minimise accident chances cuz they will be running at top speed of 340kph, Michellin suggested 2 solutions:

1. To abandon the race......

2. To introduce a temp, precautionary slow speed corner to curb the progressive build up speed peaking at 300+ kph...

9 out of the 10 teams agreed on imposing slow speed corner... 1 idiot disagrees... That's F Ferrari....

So... left with no choice, all the 7 Michellin running team retire from the race without even racing...

In the end, the race starts and end with 6 cars.... No prize for guessing who's the winner... All I can say is that Ferrari's diplomacy will be at all time low...

I don't normally despise Ferrari, though I support Renault... But it's after this drama that I condemn Ferrari...

Totally incensed by the fact that I woke up at 2am to watch a ridiculous race with juz 6 out of the 20 cars running.... Felt sorry for those people who paid US$150 for entrance...

I am not aferrari fan, but then i think ferrari did nothing wrong here!!! They manage to work hard for 1 whole week after the Canadian Grand Prix and brought the best set of bridgestone tyres to Indianapolis. Since they did veerything right, why should they change the rule to allow other teams to compete with them?
