Da, vidio sam taj tekst, i prije toga sam se čuo s autorom, koji je vrlo, vrlo uvaženi novinar, i jedan od rijetkih koji ima stvaran utjecaj na svakog u vrhu Formule 1 (uključujući i Mosleya i Ecclestonea).dkisic6 je napisao/la:Gospodine Jergoviću, molim Vas da prokomentirate ovaj članak. Bojim se da nutra ima puno istine
How to bury a story
The best way to deal with stories that might prove to be embarrassing is to make sure that the fewest possible number of people get to read them. It is called news management. And the best way to do that is to make sure that the news breaks very late on a Friday, when the Saturday editions of the national newspapers are going to press and all but the most dedicated newsmen have gone home. That way by the time the Sunday papers are being prepared there have been other stories, particularly in the sporting world, and thus the impact of the story is lessened and it gets less space in the newspapers.
The outcome of the FIA International Court of Appeal is just such a story. The court has ruled that the appeal was inadmissable - as we suggested would happen a couple of days ago. The decision is not explainedand one has to apply to the FIA for the explanation.
This pretty much guarantees that the story will get very little coverage.
It has become a convenient non-story.
McLaren does not get the explanation about when rules are rules.
Ferrari wins the World Championship.
Bernie Ecclestone is not going to retire.
Sve teze apsolutno stoje. Ja bih bio jako protiv toga da Räikkönen izgubi na ovakav način naslov prvaka, ali pretpostavljam da ona FIA mora treba ukinuti sva ta silna tehnička pravila, ukoliko ih se sama ne želi pridržavati kad to nije zgodno.
Sam način na koji se (nije) odlučivalo o McLarenovom protestu, kao i medijski pritisci prije toga, govore koliko je u pravu Gordon Murray koji veli da je prvenstvena uloga FIA-e danas ne da služi našem sportu nego da nad njim ima punu (premda proizvoljnu) kontrolu. To je, kaže Murray, kao kad bi država željela isključivo kontrolirati narod koji u njoj živi, umjesto da služi tom narodu.
