ferrari question.....

**gomick** · 26 Mar 2001, 01:46 (Ref:74478)

if ferrari are running 1-2 towards the end of the brazilian gp with schumi leading rubens - would schumi pull aside and let rubens win his home gp.......

Jeanburrasca81 · 26 Mar 2001, 01:49 (Ref:74479)

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..........

JeremySmith · 26 Mar 2001, 02:45 (Ref:74489)

No.....Should he move over,I don't think so

Wrex · 26 Mar 2001, 02:53 (Ref:74490)

Can anyone hear Hell freezing over, or see pigs flying backwards.

Airhead · 26 Mar 2001, 03:31 (Ref:74491)

I think that with the new found love and respect that is palpable within the Ferrari Team that Michael would view pulling over to let Rubens win his home GP as an act that would be good for Rubens, good for Michael (PR wise), good for the team, good for the sport and mostly good for mankind (or womankind depending on your gender)as we know it.

The great humanitarian, Michael Schumacher, the man who is most like Mother Theresa, the man sure to be Cannonised for the multitude of selfless acts he has demonstrated over the years. The man whose peers never utter a bad word about.

Of such a man, acts of pure alturism are accepted as par for the course.

If TGF received a message over his radio that Brazilian terrorists had a battery of shoulder-fired stinger missiles targeted on his car and would blow him to Hades if he didn't move over and let Rubens win, would TGF move over and let Rubens win?

NO.

Not only that, but after TGF and his Ferrari became a smoking pile of shrapnel (G-d forbid this should happen), and Rubens won ... in a last act of "respect" for TGF:

Rubens would be disqualified, and TGF would break yet another record by becoming the second pilot to receive the WDC postumously, three races into the season.

Formula One would then be disbanded.

**gomick** · 26 Mar 2001, 04:37 (Ref:74501)

well said amoffat......do you people remember when the great ayrton senna moved over and let gerhard berger win the japanese gp, sure the championship was over.....personally, i hope rubens grows some balls and takes schumi out, ferrari need some tension like the old piquet/mansell days at williams or senna/prost days at mclaren.....

BD · 26 Mar 2001, 07:16 (Ref:74515)

I dont think Rubens would want to win that way.
But, there is no chance that Schumacher would do that this early in the season.

aadpack · 26 Mar 2001, 11:01 (Ref:74531)

Schumacher ?

Never, never, never.

And in the end of the season Schumacher needs two points to get the championtitle.

Thats a risk he will never take.

kuchi · 26 Mar 2001, 14:03 (Ref:74554)

hahahaha. Well I think TGF will not even consider looking in his mirrors for rubens. I also think that if rubens wants to win he will have to take Shumi off the track and make it a perfect 3 for 3.

Maximum F1 · 26 Mar 2001, 17:20 (Ref:74583)

Not a chance...
1) Too Early
2) It wouldn't be a true victory
3) Rubens has expressed his wishes to race Schumacher this season quite openly so I can't see Schumacher letting Barrichello get too close to him in the points standings
4) Like I said in my Predictions for Brazil...he is going to crash out after he tries to nerf someone else off!!!

Speed · 26 Mar 2001, 18:10 (Ref:74590)

Ok, he says that he doesn't care about GP winning record, but I think it's pure B.S., so I don't think he gives the Victory to RB if this situation comes to reality.

Jordan · 26 Mar 2001, 18:17 (Ref:74593)

I didn't see him letting his brother through in Spain last year so WHY would he let through Rubens???

Speed · 26 Mar 2001, 18:30 (Ref:74597)

RB is brazilian...
RS isn't spanish.
That's why this Post came to gomick's mind, I guess.

EERO · 26 Mar 2001, 18:37 (Ref:74598)

Moffat, you are my hero.

Oh, how I love 10 Tenths. You guys crack me up sometimes...

Raoul Duke · 26 Mar 2001, 22:45 (Ref:74636)

Well I like Rubens, but I think that driving for Ferrari has maybe gotten to his head just a little. All this "I am the equal to Schumi" and "I am a champioship contender" stuff is just a bit silly. He should let his driving do the talking instead of his mouth.

As for TGF letting Rubens win. Well he did help Rubens to to finish on the podium in Spain(holding up his brother in the process) but that was only because he had an ailing car. If he was leading the race with a healthy car then I think there is no way he would even think about mouving over to let Rubens win. Besides, it's too early in the season anyway.

Jeanburrasca81 · 26 Mar 2001, 23:50 (Ref:74646)

Another time...Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....

Diabando · 27 Mar 2001, 06:15 (Ref:74682)

Muffy - you are a legend

My first reaction? Not a chance in burning hell - the word ruthless comes to mind.

To take a different tac from the posts above, I would think that the major reason this would never happen is not due to driver heart or friendship, nor team orders. It would not happen because the FIA will never let a repeat performance of the Australian GP some years back happen again (Coulthard V Mika). It sent the bookies and betting fraternity into a complete nightmare. Betting is big business, and unless things like this are done in a VERY subtle way, there is no chance it is going to happen again. (My point being - Ferrari/TGF dont know the word subtle)

Airhead · 27 Mar 2001, 12:32 (Ref:74719)

There could be a valid practicle reason for Michael to pull over and let Rubens "the contented" win the Brazilian GP. As told in F1 News, last year the leading cars had to contend with stray dogs on the track (I will not editorialise on this, having seen the glory of Brazilian womanhood in Bononi's thread in the gravel trap) and banners falling onto the track (I can think of nothing that could be construed as being remotely funny about this - so what else is new right?).

Anyway, the point is being second on the track could mean you miss the obstacles and end up winning. Latin pride is maintained, because Rubens would have won, right? The WDC stays with Michael the Magnaminous. Bernie's happy, the punters are spewing and the song remains the same.

Liz · 28 Mar 2001, 12:19 (Ref:74932)

After all the evil things TGF said about Frenzy when he spilled the beans that Ferrari is in fact using traction control, he ought to let Frenzy win.

However, Ralf is going to win this race. It is written.

Jeanburrasca81 · 28 Mar 2001, 13:38 (Ref:74953)

You seem very sure Ralf will win this race. I think Michelin is the factor to decide this. In that case i really hopw Ralf will win, because then I would have no doubt to see Alesi score some points.
Don't you think so too, Liz?...Or hope so...lol.

Liz · 29 Mar 2001, 02:25 (Ref:75164)

If we can only wait til Spain when TC is legal, Jean Alesi will shine like the best of them.

Or if it rains in Brazil, perhaps. Ralf will win either Brazil or Imola. But I think Brazil, myself.

Raoul Duke · 29 Mar 2001, 03:57 (Ref:75177)

A win from Ralfie is long overdue indeed. I sure hope your right Liz, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

True traits of a Legend.
