Schumacher returned to the cockpit in Malaysia after recovering from his
Silverstone injury, took pole position, led the race, let his teammate Eddie
Irvine through for the win he needed, and then drove just slowly enough to
hold up the chasing Mika Hakkinen, to ensure that the Finn would be no
threat to Irvine.
Tactical driving at its best, perhaps; legal then, but outlawed now.
Going into the Japanese Grand Prix, McLaren's main hope of seeing Mika
Hakkinen retain his world title was to somehow get David Coulthard ahead of
Schumacher, and then have him control his pace, just as Schumacher had done
so expertly the previous year in Malaysia.
Planning it is of course one thing, getting it done was quite another.
Then, at the drivers' briefing on the Friday before the race, came the news
of the FIA's new edict: the drivers faced a three-race ban should they drive
in a way that was judged to be 'unsporting'. When queried, race director
Charlie Whiting reconfirmed that driving of the type that Michael Schumacher
had indulged in at Malaysia last year, did indeed come under the
'unsporting' category, and should David Coulthard emulate him, then he would
become liable to a penalty.
Understandably, perhaps, McLaren team boss Ron Dennis reacted angrily to the
introduction of a new rule at such a critical time in the championship.
"What we've been told is that, effectively, the race director will decide if
a driver is driving in a manner that is not sporting. And if - at his sole
discretion - he believes that to be the case, he will pull out a flag which
must be obeyed and in the event that it is not obeyed, there will be a
penalty. That is clearly in contradiction to the interpretations that have
been put on racing teams's functioning as teams."
"Most of the problems we have now in F1 are ambiguity problems," Dennis
added. "I don't think anybody wants this. The question is, what speed
differential and what level of protecting one's position is going to deemed
to be acceptable?"

 to be acceptable?"
evvaiii.... un'altra regola del CA**O !!!
ma alla FIA sono imbecilli o cosa ???

Proprio una bella idea, già.
Si sentiva la mancanza di una regola affidata al libero arbitrio .....
Adesso sono proprio curioso di vedere chi/quando si prenderà la briga di
giudicare tale tipo di comportamento (mi riferisco ovviamente ai top team; a
sparare sulla croce rossa sono buoni tutti).
In più un bel modo per cercare di ridurre le polemiche .......

Ci scommettiamo che si inventano qualcosa per far fuori una Fer e quindi far
vincere il costruttori alla McLaren???
E meno male che e' proprio Dennis a chiarire che in questo modo si manda a
facili donnine il concetto di "squadra", ovvero il piu' danneggiato dal
comportamento di MS l'anno scorso...

 vincere il costruttori alla McLaren???
Beh, dovrebbero inventarsi qualcosa per farle fuori tutte e due. Che so,
un' invasione aliena a Maranello, per esempio. Con gli extraterrestri che
rapiscono Montezemolo e in cambio chiedono un autografo firmato davanti a
loro dai due piloti ferraristi. Tutto questo, ovviamente, domenica mattina
dalle 9 in poi :)
