Does anybody know if they broke any Austrian sport law? I mean, can this in any way be treated as 'fixing sport event'?

I think the team will be reprended for its action, and at least Ferrari will be fined or stripping the points the team gained -not the drivers- in the Austrian GP.
I hope they have a more severe punishment for the incident (a ban for one GP, for example) but Ferrari is the primadonna of the F1 (like the other two aethernal top teams, McLaren and Williams), and for many reasons it will not be happen.

Don't be ridiculous

I would nevr have boo-ed or jeered at MSch before Austria, and even the Tifosi were burning a Ferrari flag. While many may not have admired MSch, the intensity and volume of ire is more intense than anything ever shown to any F1 driver before.

The disciples???

My god you guys can be thick at times - I was trying to illustrate how absurd the anti-Schumacher posts are!

Irony. It's not a new concept. Not ebverything has to be punctuated with facile smilie faces to be humour.

The very fact that anyone could take that list of infamous villains as a serious comparisson points to the pathetic depths that the anti-schumi things has sunk to.

Well, that's what I was thinking after the event as, technically, the 'switch' was race fixing, which in most countries is a criminal offence.

The problem is: who would they charge? And who could this relate to the FIA ruling, or would it be an independent investigation?

Also, as most people know, this sort of thing has happened before. The thing is, there has never been this sort of reaction.

i don't think that this really counts as match-fixing as Ferrari would have won either way! although it was still morally wrong.

TGF may be German, but comparing him to Hitler is ridiculous.

He certainly isn't an OBL clone (though he does have a tendency to fly into other machines

)

Al Capone - TGF ain't no gangster, though he does have his 'gang'.

Darth Vader - BINGO!! Come to the dark side

Glen · 17 Jun 2002, 08:30 (Ref:315223)

Freud and Calais you really are the most frustrating pair - the original list WAS humour, and that is my point. My second point was that any confusion that has arisen has done so only because of the ludicrous pre-disposition of certain posters.

Just to spell it out one more time - these names were all used by others in this thread, and then I lumped them together in one list to show how daft it is.

f1manoz · 17 Jun 2002, 08:38 (Ref:315228)

Glen, my response was meant to be nothing more than tongue-in-cheek. I'm not taking any of this THAT seriously. Frankly, I don't care.

Jukebox · 17 Jun 2002, 08:38 (Ref:315229)

freud and calais do have the same level when it comes to the way they perceive matters

no offense mates

Glen...now i'm confuse with whom you support. If i remembered correctly you used to debate with the Doc defending Michael but now you are comparing him with Darth Vader :confused:

Glen · 17 Jun 2002, 08:50 (Ref:315237)

I think I shoud re-read the ten-tenths forum rules - I must have missed the "no irony" regulation.

Jukebox · 17 Jun 2002, 09:04 (Ref:315249)

If it's with regard of calais & freud, i don't think they'll mind me saying those things about them as we are so used at attacking eachother in here without either one of us feeling offended.

That's what make them different, i guess
