I have been using a language that is not my own for the last 8 years (including regular public speaking), and I have to say that I disagree with your statement. One gets to a certain proficiency, but nowhere near the one from a native language.Quote:

well, first in defense of Ferrari, at this very race when Button came out right behind Lewis, Mac said, like they were all in a panic, save your fuel....well then towards the end, they said, okay, no worries about fuel, you can go for it....yep, once again....drain them tanks a little bit so it don't look like team orders......
Now being much smarter appearently than their peers at the big red, no one is fussing at mac....... :D
Poor Smedley, no doubt, Luca has him and Massa both in the cross hairs.... :eek:
and Ferrari has now decided "no appeal"....(much like DonKey Jote's old lady, no appeal there either, but dude, you can not get better prices than hers :dozey: ....)
Anyway sounds like the old mercy mercy please plea to authorities......but guess they will still hear the matter anyway... :vader:
But since the meeting is in Italy, ferrari will be serving the kool aid
I disagree.Quote:

Anyway invoking language barriers is just an excuse when it comes to answering question that one fully understands.
Indeed :)Quote:

Team orders are not allowed and that is.. believe Ferrari that they are an exception?
100 000$ fine is too little (and too late?).. take points away from Alonso.. at least.. and give the win they steal BACK to Felipe..
There were occassions like that and it has been that way in f1 until the FIA let emotion get the better of sense and intefere after Austria 2002.Quote:

Just like freedom of speech pertains to government and does not refer to forcing any private entity - tv or radio station to act against their own interests.
Ferrari was fair today and acted in its own rational interests. The question is when did anybody else suddenly become relevant to that process? Only Scuderia Ferrari management have say over employee actions and if any employee disagrees they can always leave.
You know nothing about fairness.Quote:

Because when Red Bull try to fix races, their drivers run into each other! :)Quote:
