Webber wins Brazilian

Thank god for that. Kimi is totally half hearted about F1 anyway so he is hardly a worthy replacement.

Good to see that Christian Horner has put the Raikkonen rumour to bed:

“Webber wins Brazillian”…

While they are manscaping him, hopefully they can fix his monbrow!

Gee, couldn’t see that reply coming.

Life sucks sometimes, Renault hired dodgy employees, they have to carry the can. As would any other organisation in any other walk of life faced with similar circumstances.

Anyway, back to Mark Webber’s fantastic result which gives Kimi an opportunity to re-consider a rally career in 2010.

In your face Webber haters!

In other news, Webber has started his own GP3 team to help Aussies make the step up to Formula 1 for next year.

Holden Caulfield said :

Haha, they rigged the Singapore GP, pure and simple. How on earth were Renault unfairly maligned?

See your above quote, eg.

In fact “they” being the Renault car company (Renault SA management & shareholders etc) did not rig it, nor have any prior knowledge.

The ‘Renault Formula 1 Team’ is a company separate and distinct from Renault SA. As I understand it, the former was under the management of a company owned by Flavio Biatore, who is/was also a significant shareholder of The Team.

Knowledge, instigation and participation of the scam was restricted to the three Team participants: Briatore, Symonds and Piquet Jr.

To repeat, Renault SA was a completely unaware and innocent ‘third party’ and gave no direction or even suggestion as to the events that transpired.

Yet since the expose, Renault SA have ‘taken it on the chin’ and acted with maximum propriety, in two clear ways:

By promptly admitting guilt – even though “they” were not guilty.
Through pre-emptively cancelling – almost immediately the allegations were made – their involvement (contractural & otherwise) with the guilty parties.

However, despite the honourable actions of Renault SA it is “they” who carry the can and bear the ongoing public damage to their reputation and business.

As witnessed, and may I say perpetuated, by the inference of your quote.

Haha, they rigged the Singapore GP, pure and simple. How on earth were Renault unfairly maligned?

Yes!

Well done indeed to a terrific ambassador of the sport, and of our region. Its regularly mentioned in International motorsports circles that Mark is genuinely one of the all-around ‘good guys’ of Formula One.

Also good to see Renault back and winning after being so (unfairly imo) maligned over the ‘Crashgate’ debacle.

start way down the grid…… he was on the front row

Oops I misread the article. As I said – haven’t watched the recording yet.

Well done to “Canberra’s” Mark Webber! 🙂
