Team order affects fans worldwide

This writer felt the blow as Michael Schumacher crossed the line, heard the death tolls sounding for what used to be the pinnacle of motorsport. Something died in Austria on the 12th of May 2002, thankfully it wasn't a driver or a spectator or a marshall. Instead it was the death of Formula One, the death of a passion that used to burn so brightly in the heart of many, mine included. It's the driving force behind the fans that come to watch their heroes compete, the motive behind the amounts of cash parted with throughout the years, the ultimate thing that breathes life into the sport week after week, a force that will need a harsh reprisal for this action to make ammends.

To the powers that be, if you're listening and in case you've forgotten, it's the little people who come to watch, buy the merchandise and tune in their televisions sets faithfully every two weeks that keep this sport alive just as much as the sponsors that part with cash to keep the teams running to their enormous budgets. Without them, the sport is dead and you lost millions of them in the blink of an eye at the A1-Ring yesterday. Am I going to far to state F1 died on Sunday? Maybe, maybe not. May you rest in peace Formula One, I for one will miss you immensely.
