The oldest trick in the book of defence

Very true. I hated Mika for his immature, disrespectful behavior at that
memorial, five years ago. We were hurting so much and there he was, laughing
and unable to keep his mouth shut. I enjoyed every single mishap that went
his way the next two terrible seasons. But the finn changed, since them. He
grew up and was graceful in difficult situations. He paid his dues and his
endurance is now paying off. He is a deserving champion.

It's not nit picking. They were there. They could've spoken. They did not
because they had nothing to contribute. If Ferrari says the measurements
were not correct only the FIA could possibly challenge it. McLAren and
Stewart were not in aposition to challenge Ferrari's assertions.

Any-hoo it all turned out for the best.

Hakkinen DWC and Ferrari CWC.. both deserving in my view
