remember this: BMW is NOT a factory team here. besides Toyota and honda, there are no major factory teams. Ferrari is a manufacturer, yes. but, it is by no means a volume type of manufacturer. and Renault...are they not partially (at least) by nissan??? point is, if this is going to become a japanese manufacturer rat race, then all of the major players are in place.

as for the race...the stewards did not wave that blue flag. remember, schu was in the lead, not trying to pass. in order to be a world champion, i would say that that one would have to have a type "A" personality. no, they don't have to be an absolute asshat, but...
as for the FIA, people are starting to realize that max mosely seems to make-up rules as he goes along. that just sucks. he seems to be systematically taking-down F1. shit, what is wrong with having a company that will spend unlimited money? money makes the world go round, right? F1 has always been about money and women and fast cars. hell, it's a young boy's/man's wet dream! yes, i agree that it can be seen as just 'buying a win', but in this case, can you imagine the technology that will come from F1 knowing that so much in our daily driven cars comes from technology from racing?
