The same thing will happen once Toyota gets competitive. Then the rules will be at fault or Toyota has an unfair advantage with the Hybrid technology or whatever... it's always the same with them.

It's more of a recent phenomenon, prior to Peugeot getting involved, Audi were still quite likeable, but the Peugeot run and gun style seemed to rub off on them, and them blaming everyone under the sun for their troubles (it really p*ssed me off at Le Mans with Kauffman getting tossed and Audi essentially calling GT drivers losers).
The Dumas-Montagny incident highlighted it imo, Ullrich's nonense afterwards was beyond unprofessional. Let's be honest, they had it handed to them during the season.
I do expect Audi to start slinging nonsense if Toyota are competitive, like they have some god given right to have everything on their terms...
