Looking at the timings you will see that both drivers who stayed out on dries lost the same amount of time on the last lap, so no conspiracy, just a gamble that didn't pay off for Trulli and Glock

Actually, it DID pay off for Glock, and nearly paid off for Trulli - Glock was seventh and Trulli was eighth before the rain. Glock still gained a point from not pitting despite his last lap, and Trulli didn't lose out.Quote:

He arranged for the rain to cause a 10 min. delay to the start so his second planned shower would arrive with 5 laps to go and it would alter the race to provide a super exciting fiinish.
Makes as much sense as the other theory. :vader:
Hold on just a second now .Quote:

Could there be something to this ?
Yes he drove a better final sector than Glock ! just get over it
It only came down to the final corner because of the stewards fixing it for Massa to still be involved on the final race anyway.
Had you read the entire thread , you might have noticed that I made fun of it earlier .Quote:

Please pay attention .
I noted that there time difference in the final sector was larger than might be normal , when at the same time , the conditions should have worsened .
Glock should not normally be 2.2 seconds slower in better conditions .
That's in a sector time frame of 22.8 -25 seconds .
I don't believe he was paid by anyone to be so slow , but it does seem a bit stark .
I'm sure Glock lost some time getting passed, but I didn't see the race.Quote:

You are the one posting ridiculous conspiracy theories that cannot be backed up even by the sector times.Quote:
