Whiting. Lukekaapa tuo. Eihän kisaa olisi ajettu samalla tavoin, jos Ferrari olisi olisi ollut Michelin-leirissä, ja vaikkapa Sauber-talli olisi ollut kisassa mukana.
"Race Director Charlie Whiting
Ross Brawn’s drinking buddy released a letter that he got from Michelin with some smart answers as to why they couldn’t use different tyres on Sunday.
But he’s changed the rules for Bridgestone prior to a race so we’ve been here before. It's surprising nobody’s questioned why Whiting changed the tyre rules at the beginning of the 2003 Brazilian GP.
Back in 2003 you were only allowed to take one wet tyre to races, so you had to make your mind up before the event. Bridgestone arrived at Interlagos with their legendary intermediate tyre that was quite good in wet and mixed conditions. Michelin had a full wet that could run in more rain.
When the heavens opened before the race, Whiting delayed the start because the Bridgestone runners wouldn’t have been able to make it round safely. It was clearly Bridgestone’s fault for not bringing a full wet tyre, but as the argument has gone this weekend – they knew the situation…
After delaying the start the field was then sent round Interlagos behind the Safety Car until enough water was taken off the circuit. Had they released the field when it was suitable for the Michelins on full wets, then Fisichella would never have won the race in his Jordan and Kimi Raikkonen may well have got the win.
Nobody complained because it was a safety issue. Fast forward two years and Whiting is not prepared to compromise in another safety situation. This interpretation of the rules when it suits them makes F1 fans deeply suspicius - it's like there was an agenda here from the FIA."

tästäkin asiasta on käyty monta keskustelua, syy tuohon yksinkertaisesti se että sitä vettä tuli niin rankasti että kisa oli vaarallinen KAIKILLE talleille ajoivat ne milla renkailla tahansa
Ei unohdeta tallaista pikkuseikkaa
No. Ilmeisesti siis uskot, että kisa olisi käyty samalla tavoin, jos Ferrari olisi ollut Michelin-leirissä ja esim. Sauber olisi ollut Bridgestoneilla liikkeellä.
Minä ainakin luulen, että silloin olisi annettu kompromisseille sijaa.
Aivan niin, kyllä ois asiat menny ihan toisin jos ois ollu vaara että ferrari joutuu jäämään pois kisasta.
