Zetsche wants F1 title name change - rumour



According to a rumour in the Abu Dhabi paddock, Dieter Zetsche is not happy with the outcome of the 2010 title race.

Zetsche is the chairman of Mercedes' carmaker parent Daimler, and he is apparently uncomfortable with Red Bull becoming this season's constructors' champion, French commentator Jean-Louis Moncet wrote in his Auto Plus column.

The German, uncomfortable that this year's manufacturers' title has been won by the maker of an energy drink, reportedly wants the FIA to change the official title ...

Wow. I really hope that's not true.

 

retarded

 

Wawawa

 

Not okay for a drink company to win the constructor's but it's okay for a cigarette company?

 

Oh boo hoo...

If it was called the "manufacturers title", I could see his argument but it's called the "constructors title".

 

Sounds like his mustache is in a bind because his company just spent a boatload of money on a team that won the WMC and WDC last year and hasn't been any better than mid-pack this year.

FYI - reading that article - BMW didn't pull out of F1 because of the companies that beat them - they pulled out for the F1 costs plus the whole KERS debacle.

 

sounds like a sore-ass loser to me
