Heck, do we(!) want to see a bunch of bureaucrats with engines strapped to their backs or RACE DRIVERS? Vettel blowing by Webber will be long remembered (certainly by Webber ;-)). Rosberg trailing along behind Hamilton...not so much. Team orders may be legitimate, but screw ‘em anyway. I’m not a team owner, so I couldn’t care less.
Senna and Prost raced each other to ‘the devil may care’ as well. That’s why we remember them and hold them in esteem.
P*ssy drivers don’t win F1 championships, neither do Pit Wall P*ssies.
I think we’re going to have a lot of fun this year. Woohoo!
