Teammates not getting on is a good thing! Makes for strong competition, remember the battles of Prost and Senna or Mansel and Piquet?

Well, look at what happened in '99. Michael broke his leg and Mikka won the flukiest championship ever. Had Mike not had the accident im confident he would have won that championship. So, in 2000, with the Ferrari package strong, the team maximises its chances because, as we saw in '99, you never know whats gonna happen... when you put so much time, effort and money into something you want to maximise everything, so yes, ferrari did the right thing. Hindsight (such a wonderful thing) tells us Ferrari would have probably won that championship no matter what. But there and then, they werent in a position to know that so they didnt take any chances. Makes sense to me.
About the teammates thing, Prost and Senna almost killed eachother, took eachother out, basically not a very good idea for a team to have drivers do that. If the championship looks like its going to Schumi Jr or JPM you can bet your ass one of them would take the other one out. And thats not what racing is, according to you, so

Exacty $$$$$$$ is all that matters for a team like Ferrari. I prefer the racing spirit and love of competing at Minardi or of the late Ken Tyrrell thank you very much.

Minardi are "about racing" cos thats all they can ever be, they want to be everyone's second team if you know what i mean... they'd swap it for a pile of cash though, no doubt about it. Anyway, there's only one team in F1 that actually races, and thats Ferrari. The others seem to be amateurs
