Does that imply that you have NEVER done anything on the rolling lap to disadvantage OTHER drivers? Do you SIGNAL to the man on pole2 that you are about to accelerate towards the line or do you put yourfoot down when you feel that you ALONE will get the greatest advantage..... ? I was never that honourable.
I also thought that the start was PART of the race, too! I thought drivers came under 'race control' when they left the pits!
It's this great concept of 'gamesmanship' versus 'racecraft'. Where are we supposed to draw the line? Using kerbs (which NONE of you argue are a LEGAL part of the track..... 'cos they AIN'T.....) certainly IS 'gamesmanship' but you lot choose to call it 'racecraft' simply because it suits you!
I would understand your point better if you could explain how using part of the circuit which is SPECIFICALLY banned is morally ok but breaching NON SPECIFIC rules is NOT 'morally' ok? Either both are morally OK or BOTH are NOT!
Personally, I feel that ALL forms of cheating are morally UNacceptable regardless of whether I used to do them or not! I don't claim my examples of cheating were morally ok JUST because I did them! That technique is called 'post event rationalisation'.
