Ah, come on Climb - if you posted that in a facetious way why take the replies so seriously?

Williams will not give away positions and points if it costs them the constructors title!

And Michael will not just let everyone past as he wants to win the constructors for Ferrari for a record 5th time in a row!

DriverT · 1 Oct 2003, 09:00 (Ref:736357)

Sure, it will be interesting if both those things were true.

Even if TGF crashes out i dont think KIMI has the car to go and win! (ehough MAC surprised us at INDY with a stunning pole)

TGF will dramatically throw it into the Gravel on the last lap in an uncharacteristic driver error, kimmi, who would be in second at this point take over to win.
TGF rejoins to finish 9th, approx 1 second behind 8th, just to rub it in a bit.

DriverT · 2 Oct 2003, 12:55 (Ref:737961)

Hahaha now that would be INTERESTING

I think Williams will be up there, so it's unlikely Kimi will win, but I'd love to see him do it.

Better hope that Rubens isn't 8th then!

I hear the bells tolling the old tune "Team Orders" again...

esorniloc · 2 Oct 2003, 15:01 (Ref:738130)

To be honest if in the last race a team-mate could let someone past to win the title, I really think no-one could have any complaints. I mean how stupid would the team look if they didn't tell driver X to get out the way to win the title?

eclectic · 2 Oct 2003, 16:37 (Ref:738229)

Remember Our Noigeand his tyre bursting, about two laps from the championship, was it in Ozzie? Or is this just a senior moment??

Still, by the FIA rules, "TEAM ORDERS ARE NOT ALLOWED". No exceptions.

esorniloc · 2 Oct 2003, 20:01 (Ref:738433)

Well have the FIA yet said how they are policing team orders?

I mean what is a team order anyway?

ralf fan · 2 Oct 2003, 20:03 (Ref:738434)

Dont you think keeping DC out as atester and compromising his race is a form of team order?? the FIA cant stop it the teams will somehow find loop holes

TomS · 2 Oct 2003, 20:37 (Ref:738461)

Think about it though

Michael would have to crash out or have a mechanical problem.

Kimi would have to then beat 2 Williams' (which will probably be quicker around suzuka, and 1 Ferrari (which will defininately be quicker)!!

In case you hadnt guessed i think that the chance of Michael not winning the title is VERY VERY slim!!

Any clear attempts to manipulate the outcome of the race - i.e. Austria 2002.

Nah, it'd be better if TGF crashed in qualifying and started 20th, it poured on race day, TGF charged through the field, overtook Raikkonen for the lead, and then crashed out a couple of corners later

Chances are the two Renault's may be very quick at Suzuka as well, in fact they may be the car to beat there!!
