Alfredo Octavio: F1 BetsLive Comments and bets about Formula 1 from a Ferrari fan.(Untitled)- June 20, 2005 Honor left among some drivers! "Driver David Coulthard could be heard on the team radio making a keen plea to be allowed to race just before the order for the mass withdrawal was made. "I've not experienced anything like this in my career before. Frankly, I'm embarrassed," said Coulthard."http://alfredo.octavio.net/categories/f1Bets/2005/06/20.html#a3884 (Untitled)- June 19, 2005 Apology not accepted, you chicken-shit! They are lying they had another choice. Run the race slower and with less wing. They could have done it safely, after all what is an engineer job To say how fast the car can safely go!http://alfredo.octavio.net/categories/f1Bets/2005/06/19.html#a3882 (Untitled)- June 19, 2005 Exclusive! Someone send me a tape of the secret meeting of the Michelin Teams where it was decided that they wouldn't run the race at Indy today. A Tyromaniac exclusive. Click here to hear it.http://alfredo.octavio.net/categories/f1Bets/2005/06/19.html#a3881 (Untitled)- June 19, 2005 Ferrari Wins! Because the Michelin Teams are chicken shit. Good going to all the teams that acted professional and did their job in this most difficult circumstance. It is still a victory, even if your rival lacks honor. Good going for Jordan and Minardi. Special congrats to Monteiro for a third place!http://alfredo.octavio.net/categories/f1Bets/2005/06/19.html#a3879 Boycott Michelin!- June 19, 2005 If they can't make a tyre for F1 at Indy, they can't make a tyre for me! Michelin Sucks! Stop the bullies!http://alfredo.octavio.net/categories/f1Bets/2005/06/19.html#a3878 (Untitled)- June 19, 2005 The talk about that this is done "for security reasons" is simply bullshit. They could have discharge the car wings, they would not be competitive, but they can race. That's the reality, Michelin couldn't bring a competitivesafe tyre and then, like little kids, they decided not to race. They are bullies trying to get their way. This has three sides. One is rules, they are absurd, but they are it. Don't try to change it midway. Second, is the competitiveness of the car. And third is guts, racers.http://alfredo.octavio.net/categories/f1Bets/2005/06/19.html#a3877 (Untitled)- June 19, 2005 I will, certainly, never again buy Michelin Tyres or guides. They are thru as a brand for me. They talk about security, but they are playing with fire. I am lucky, I just got tyres last week and decided for a Yokohama set. The competition was a Michelin but it was rated for slower speeds than the Pirelis I was changing and they were more expensive.http://alfredo.octavio.net/categories/f1Bets/2005/06/19.html#a3876 (Untitled)- June 19, 2005 I hope Michelin gets banned from F1!http://alfredo.octavio.net/categories/f1Bets/2005/06/19.html#a3875 (Untitled)- June 19, 2005 Only six cars started! The other stayed in pits. This could be the end of F1! At least in the US... What a dumb thing to do. It is a scandal. I hope they get stripped all the points!http://alfredo.octavio.net/categories/f1Bets/2005/06/19.html#a3874 (Untitled)- June 19, 2005 What will the Michelin drivers do There are a lot of rumors. The latest is that the Michelin team will enter pits after the first lap and change tyres. They will see then if they get penalize (that depends on what tyres they put on and why they made the change), but it is talk about as a rebellion. The change in the first lap has to be illegal. The FIA's official position is that Michelin is guilty of not brining different tyres (you are allowed two sets), instead they brought the same tyres on.http://alfredo.octavio.net/categories/f1Bets/2005/06/19.html#a3873 |
