You by no means get away from the suspicion that there are staff orders between groups, not simply inside one staff.
“If Sauber would have made the quickest lap, would anyone be frightened about it? No. The issue lies in that it’s owned by the identical house owners.
“I suppose we’ve to respect what Purple Bull did on the time… Minardi was struggling. They’d have gone away and not using a saviour. So F1 has developed lots since them days, and for the longer term, possibly there must be a repair to this one which no person can personal two groups.”
He continued: “However I feel it shouldn’t be as radical as saying, ‘Oh, within the subsequent Concorde Settlement or business settlement, this must be sorted’”
