The legends of Formula One entered the sport safe in the knowledge that it would be fair and the would be no favouritism. Now you enter thinking that you may drive your bollocks off, only to have the result changed hours after the race.
Legends that raced before Formula One like Tazio Nuvolari made racing what it is today, with heroic performances and true bravery. They were racing in fair times, we are not.
Legends like Niki Lauda raced in Formula One when it was a gentleman’s sport, you would turn up, hope to win, and accept it gracefully if you didn’t. He was racing in fair times, we are not.
Legends like Ayrton Senna raced in Formula One with pure aggression and determination, with little care for the opposition. He was racing in fair times, we are not.
Legends like Michael Schumacher, albeit unintentionally, began the change in the sport when he was racing for Ferrari, with the FIA quickly becoming honorary employees of Ferrari with the biased decision. He was not racing in fair times, and it is even worse now.
At the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, the FIA changed the result of a race to benefit their favourite team, Ferrari. Ferrari did not appeal the Hamilton/Raikkonen incident, but the FIA went ahead anyway.
We are not racing in fair times, and until something is done about the FIA, we never will be. Until then, the FIA spit in the face of every single person in the history of Formula One and Grand Prix racing itself.
