Euro GP, dumbshits Options

[J P Stein]

The dumbshit award goes to Mclaren.
Kimi is going full out with a square front tire....the whole car is shaking like like a dog shitting a peach pit.
Kimi prolly feels safe in his carbon fiber capsule......it's damn near indistructable. The inevitable happens....the suspension
falls apart and off he goes. Fortunately, he's *only* going about 150 when it happens and he's in a relativly safe place.
He hops out & walks away....just like he would have had it ended up in the crowd.

Dear Kimi: We already know you have balls the size of coconuts.....to bad you don't have a brain of the same size.
The same goes for your masters in the pits.

Problem is, your not allowed to change a tire simply becuase its flat spotted. It has to be a safety issue and it would be a very fine line between when it stops being an inconvenience and when it becomes a safety issue.

You'll notice that the tire never gave way, it was the suspension broke becuase of the vibration under load.

So it was a choice between stopping, getting a new wheel and quite possibly a penalty for an illegal tire change, versus putting up with a vibration until the end and maybe winning. That was the last real test for the wheel, if he had made it around that corner he probably would have made it to the end.

As Steve Matchett said, I think its a pretty dumb rule myself.
