Frustrated yes, mainly because of the lack of leadership by thr F1A, who last week decided F1 must be saved, whilst delaying the WRC Promoter decision!!Quote:

Agree about the quality, but I'm sure there are 'quality' drivers out there, but they have no £$£$£$ :(
which part of the " WILSON USED TEAM ORDERS AFFECTING NOT ONLY HIS TEAM BUT AN INDEPENDENT ONE AS WELL" don't you understand ????
the fuss is not about team orders in general !!!!!!!!!
Again and again, again, again and again the same! :dozey:Quote:

A thing used by a lot a lot of Teams a lot of times over the Years.....
And now they are evil because another Team decided to Help them....
It is like it is, and those few People from this Forum can change absolut nothing !!!!
Even not if they evryday wrote the same things 10 or 20 times a Day....
Haven't you just made a perfect case against Ford though? They've 'been up to it' all year.Quote:

At the end of the year, if Mikko does win the championship, will his fans or even Mikko himself believe he really deserved it? Now I'm waiting for the "driver with most points is champion" response, but really....
Calm down MAN!!!Quote:

Any team which is allowed to take points is independent enough not to be puppet to any other one. Otherwise it is no longer sport. If Mikko has some problem in Japan and there is 6 other Focuses infront of him, so what? We'll have realy pretty race with strongly deserved possitions and points in top eight?
The fact something is not forbidden doesn't mean it is good and everyone is obliged to agree and to keep quiet about it. If You want to watch WRC where there is one driver on top and puppet games on another places behind him, watch it. But that's way to hell unfortunately because soon noone have any interest in WRC.
In the years when there were much stronger competition than today it wasn't that critical. But in these days there is practicaly noone else than one king and Malcolm's puppets. And if they play chess instead of rallying, it becomes incredibly boring and uninteresting. Do You realy thing that's what WRC and rallying itself needs to get out of its crisis?
What about the reason for deploying these kind of tactics?
Tyres.
How many times Mikko had flat tyre this season? 4-5?
I can only remember 1 for Seb.
Stupid rules = bye bye Ford :)
Ooooh this discussion is about watching the WRC, in that case I'm out. Haven't watched WRC for ages now :p (it's actually not a joke :( ).Quote:

Solve the above things and the "problem" with teamorders will largely take care of itself.
Ever heard of a VCR?Quote:
