Peace?

FEATURE BY MIKE LAWRENCE

Ferrari will always be welcome, but on the same terms as every other team. It is a scandal that Ferrari gets paid more and has a veto. It is scandalous that Ferrari thinks it may mock aspiring teams such as Lola. which has survived in the world's toughest market, the manufacture of production racing cars, for more than fifty years. More than fifty years, that is something Ferrari never managed to do.

Just as I've had it with the whingeing from the Hamilton camp, so I've had it with Ferrari. Formula One should be about racing, not about threats, cheap jibes, and the behaviour of an opera diva.

It is nonsense to say that Formula One needs Ferrari. We currently have Formula One without Ferrari, unless you count a single podium finish. Some of their antics, however, have been amusing going on comical.

As Bernie himself has said, Ferrari was bought. There are some unpleasant words to describe people who can be bought. There is also the matter that anyone who offers a bribe is likely to accept one otherwise bribery would not enter their head.
