The Big Charade
It is easy to understand why many are inclined to blame the FIA for the Indianapolis fiasco: what was so difficult in slapping a few coloured tyres in a row on the banked Turn 13, put the three Bridgestone teams at the front and just run a non-Championship race to please the spectators? Really, anyone could do it! Well, thank heavens the FIA didn't. There's a reason why we follow Formula One, and watching a charade should not be it. Biranit Goren calls for all involved to assume responsibility
"How wonderful to have someone to blame! You may be miserable, but you feel forever in the right. You may be fragmented, but you feel absolved of all the blame for it. Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame." -- Erica Jong
"We sat down and somebody immediately asked: 'So, how many races do we want next year?' So we went on talking about that." This, according to an unnamed source talking to Italian magazine Autosprint, was how the team principals' meeting on Saturday at Indianapolis began.
