The fact that Bernie Ecclestone snap back at the Ferrari boss, di Montezemolo is really shocking. It is true that the Singapore GP was a little humiliating since they know that they were going to hold the race, why couldn't they get the road smoothed out before letting the drivers drive on it.
Asking the Ferrari people to shut up? Now that's rude. Besides, you can't deny the fact that the cause of Kimi Raikkonen's accident was the kerbs at the tight corner, whose great idea was it to make the kerbs so high that it caused both Fisichella and Kimi Raikkonen to run over it and lose control? True that it does make sure that the drivers will follow the S turn but hey, I thought the FIA is ALL about the driver's safety?
I'm not the only 1 that agrees that the race was a exciting and a bore at the same time. The safety car is just so slow in getting to the place where Nelson Piquet crashed. He had already ran across the road to safety and the car wasn't even there yet. And I'm not criticizing Alex Wurz's drving, it is the other car that I'm talking about. You can definitely see the difference of the safety car when Heikki Kovalainen had crashed into the wall of tires and got stuck during the Spanish GP with the crash of Nelson Piquet jr.
If Ecclestone thinks that an unsuccessful race mean that di Montezemolo should shut up because the Ferrari team should feel let down then he is soooo Wrong!! If Ferrari did just shut up and keep their heads down then is that racing? Easily admitting defeat? Is that what Ecclestone consider racing? Well then I know why all the ex-drivers are shouting about when they say that the FIA is "stupid".
