Sorry F1_fanz, I missed that "you were actually there"

I know all too well how the media cannot portray just what the crowd is like. I was at the Indy Debacle, and I watched all the race coverage when I got home on tape, and there is NO WAY Speed's coverage showed how ungly the fan base was. I was honestly worried about my health and safety and that level of ugly was not shown by the media.
I returned home to the US last night. The experience of being at Spa was amazing of course. Some of the folks on the group tour were with me at the Cologne airport and we chatted about the FIA ruling. The subject just seemed to dominate everyone's minds the entire weekend...

And in the wake of all this...

McLaren have dropped their appeal into their Hungarian points-loss in the wake of their exclusion from the Constructors' Championship.

I have some confidential IP about the weight distribution of matrix - the ballast is located mostly in his large tifosi head.

As opposed to the Balzzie one which has a dramatic ballast in his large butt...

I might remind everyone that had the tables been turned and it were determined that Ferrari had obtained and circulated secret and illicit McLaren technical specs, not only would the same penalty be justified, but al the Ferrari bashers out there would demand Ferrari's immediate and permanent exclusion from F1. Funny how the shoes fit...


This has got to be one of the largest truths in this entire thread

Gosh F1_fanz, good on you that you were actually there. I am so impressed. But the rest of us watched an awesome race. Sorry again that your live atmosphere was tainted. Next time stay home and watch TV like us, we had a great time.

And for whatever it's worth, despite all the differing points of view, I sincerely appreciate the ability to debate topics like this with such a diverse and intelligent community of F1 fans.

Above all else, I hope this nonsense teaches some lessons and helps to protect the integrity of the sport. I just want to see good, clean and ethical racing...

Mahalo!
