Notice how Dirk Mueller and Jon Summerton where not around for the interviews? Im going to assume they where the first guys to race control to complain. I did not expect that fron Gimmi Bruni. I did not know he was that kind of guy.

Why do I feel that people are going to start ripping on Ferrari drivers, especially after Le Mans 2011... |

Ferrari has proven that it has the pace to win, and the less fuel consumption, after the fiasco they had at the start with the two best cas droping out, they should have been satisfied by 2nd....

I wanted to see Berretta pull it off nice and clean to be honest, but I was not that invested. I wanted to see good racing, and we mostly got it except for that last lap. |

I can't see how anybody can blame Joey. Even on the TV pictures it was pretty much impossible to see what happened so how was he supposed to know?
He was still rather polite given what just went down..and what he said can be transferred to the #51 anyways.. in fact, it's actually a much dirtier move. If Beretta had done it it would have been out of desperation...what Bruni did was just straight up gamesmanship of the ugliest kind. |

Beretta would not have passed there. We saw the Ferrari absolutely carving time on the brakes in T17. That's where he would have tried to make the move. He would have been unbelievably late on the brakes.
Bruni's move makes Jamie Melo look good.....That was god awful for a 90 lap down car. |

Clearly Bruni still has a bone to pick with Melo after then spat in '09? He wants to outqualify him(succeeded at Petit and Sebring) and he wants to trump him with bodacious moves on the final lap. He wins. Im glad the BMW didnt lose it like that. Boy the blood is flowing now! What a scintillating/messy finish. |

BTW as it can be seen in the video Beretta was noWhere close enough to pass anywhere in the last lap before bruni pulled his stunt

^the 51 was laps down and much faster. Just let it go. But then he may fear that the 51 would would block him to allow the 71 to catch up.
Im just at a loss of an explanation as to why Bruni would do that. I thought he was so much better than that. So I will pretty much buy any story that means he did not make the decision for himself to spin the 56.. I clearly have bad taste in drivers. I enjoyed watching Melo until he cracked. Now this happens with Bruni. |
