An Interesting Theory

But I believe he’s blowing smoke.

Michelin Don’t Stand a Chance

That’s the seemingly awkward claim of French motorsport director Pierre Dupasquier, 67. He said, given that Bibendum supplies more teams than Ferrari’s tyre partner Bridgestone, that Michelin is therefore at a title disadvantage.

”Let’s say two or more of our partners are very competitive,’‘ he explained, ”then they will share points rather than all the points going into one basket, as is the case for our competitor.”

Dupasquier reckons Ferrari’s Michael Schumacher could finish every race fourth or fifth and still be world champion.
