Thanks guys. Championship Number Six took awhile to achieve. Look for a final post about reward money sometime near the end of the coming week.

Congrats goes to Schmoopy on a good Second Place finish. He game the Champion a real run for his money for most of the year. A shout-out goes to ckhokie who, after coming into this year the defending champion placed a Stout Third Place this year. Damn consistent if you ask me. Great year and hopefully we get a renewal on the sponsorship and we add two more competitors!!

I thought it was a BS call myself, but I honestly dont understand FIA decisions. To me they are to inconsistent & wishy washy.

I do wonder if they are wishy washy depending on who are involved?

Some drivers seem to get favorable decisions while others may not.

al those of you that follow the sport longer than I. Is the FIA as corrupt (or headed that way) as the soccer organization? (forgot their letters LOL)

Shutting up drivers (athletes) is a common thing when they voice their opinions against the rulers of the galaxy!

Not allowed to talk shit to refs in the NFL no matter how incompetent they are, for instance.

They were likely fed up with Red Bull drivers after Max shot his mouth off about Vegas for three days and now you get Perez coming in and flapping his gums too. Perez hit a lot of people this year. Ask Norris.

I could see this happening.
Ferrari was the one that suffered though.
Mercedes is like hell yeah!

I watched the Perez Norris thing several times yesterday. Perez missed the corner, Norris gave him lots of room. Anthony Davidson explained it perfectly.
