WHY FERRARI CAN BLOW ME

audio: "shut off + curl up." laika.

right, so i'm a little late on this. 'kay, quite a bit late. but i didn't get to watch our tape of the Formula One Austrian GP until last night. so i couldn't properly bitch, although thanks to several people, i'd already been spoiled on several key aspects of the race. and since anyone who cares and reads my blog (which aren't many of you, but hey) has no doubt already seen it, i'm not even going to attempt to hide spoilers. so skip this entry if you're uninterested or just haven't watched it yet. there. XD

i know the people at Ferrari are not idiots, firstly. in terms of strategy, Jean Todt, Ross Braun, ickle Mikey, and the rest are usually on top of their game. no question about that. so what the hell were they thinking by issuing team orders the way that they did?!??! i mean, if those couple of extra points are the deciding factor on who walks away with the driver's championship this year, i can understand where this is good strategy at work in terms of the driver's championship. but as far as PR strategy goes? as far as bringing themselves, their drivers (especially Schuey) and the sport into disrepute?

what the FUCK, dude? >.<;;;;

that was absolutely disgusting. it's not like Michael wasn't already a considerable distance ahead of Montoya. and it's not like no matter which Ferrari driver had won, the team wouldn't get the same number of points towards the constructor's championship. and the fact that Rubens had LED the ENTIRE FUCKING RACE basically, only to have to hand it over to Michael at THE VERY LAST CORNER...man. i feel cheated. i'd feel even more cheated had i actually been there in person. the crowd were fucking right to boo.

it's not as though Rubens could've refused the orders, either...'specially not with having just signed on for another 2 years. he'd never have been allowed to finish a race for the rest of the year, let alone win one.

wonder what's gonna happen now, with official complaints being filed. such a crock of shit. i've never watched a race as depressing as this one. *glares and growls*
