Letter to the Editor: Zanarini responds to Dodgins
Autosport.com's Tony Dodgins thought that Giancarlo Fisichella showed weakness when he lost the lead of the Japanese Grand Prix to Kimi Raikkonen. Fisichella's manager Enrico Zanarini has asked to respond. We gladly oblige...
Dear Tony,
Having read your autosport.com article The defining move (issue 44, November 2nd 2005), I feel it is only fair that I respond. Fair to Giancarlo Fisichella and fair to autosport.com's subscribers.
You write about the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka, an amazing race for sure, but you focus to a certain degree on Kimi Raikkonen's move on Giancarlo during the last lap; a great move for Kimi but unfortunate for Giancarlo. It was well reported, especially within the F1 paddock, that Giancarlo had problems with his rear tyres and the telemetry showed a 13km/h speed difference on the main straight in Kimi's favour.
