Sitting on the banks of the River Nore in Kilkenny, I watched Ferrari make a mockery of racing sportsmanship. With less than 300m to run in the incident-filled Austrian Grand Prix, Ferrari bosses directed Rubens Barrichello to slow down and permit Michael Schumacher to win the race. Based on the reactions of those Irish watching the race, Ferrari lost street credibility with their decision. I'm not ever going to be a Ferrari fan, and I won't ever buy a Fiat. My decision is reinforced by these kinds of on-track shenanigans. If you think the same, tell Vodafone you don't like Ferrari abusing the spirit of sport.
