Surely we will never forget TGF pumping his fist as he circled the track celebrating his stolen race, and the fact that he only became flustered and upset when he climbed out of the car and realised everyone had seen what he did. And we will also never forget Jean Todt not only defending his decision to stage that farce, but his declaration that Ferrari firmly intended to do it again whenever they felt like it, thank you very much.

But I agree that watching teammates fight it out is the most exciting racing, as they have equal equipment usually and this is the most even of fights. That was what saved that one season when Prost and Senna won almost all the races -- the fact that there were no team orders and the teammates fought hammer and tongs all season long. Think how much more fun 2002 would have been, had TGF not been afraid to fight his teammate and both had been given equal treatment?
