mark you said
i don't know how many times i have to post this,michael did NOT take rubens car.rubens used the spare car for qualifying,which is set aside for michael,are you with me so farnow where in my post did i say it was rubens car?
if you could read it again please i said
how come he's had to take the car rubens was drivingthe car that rubens was given for the race,was michaels car,the car which claimed pole position on rubens set-upwhy would MS need to borrow the other car then if it was fast enough to clinch pole?
about teams orders at mclaren,it doesn't only happen when one driver is mathematically out of the title,jerez 97 none of them were in the title race,the smae for australia98jerez was quantified by ron dennis saying that he wanted mika to break his F1 duck so to speak, and yes it was'nt in a title race, which makes what ferrari did even worse when you look at gift that was given to mika, which with out that we may never have seen some of the good races that were to follow in 98 & 99.
a similar thing happend when berger was senna's team mate, and senna let berger win a race, same with mansell and patrese at monza, the thing was that it was a nice gesture,
something you could never MS doing,
who could truthfully say that MS would do this out of his own goodwill? he had to at sepang by allowing irvine a shout at the world title
he was'nt so helpful at the final race at suzuka though was he?
the bit about austrailia 98 again is under different circumstances, it was the first race of the year, and would it have really made a difference to the out come of the rest of the season?
and that was'nt to do with team orders it was down to coulthard honouring a agreement with hakkinen, not ron dennis.
