Who judges the judge?
In our series of Best of 2005, this is Mark Hughes' column from Autosport Magazine, which was published on June 30th 2005.
By the time you're reading this, the FIA will have held its disciplinary hearing for the seven Formula 1 teams that withdrew from the American Grand Prix. A bit like being disciplined for being an innocent bystander to a 'crime' committed by the judge.
The root cause was of course Michelin's doing and they can stand accused of technical error. Any more than that is wholly against the very ethic of racing, like disciplining a driver for a failed passing manoeuvre.
