Anyway you say "better drivers do not want to drive for Ferrari because of their current or previous policies"

Let me ask you, why ? why is it that better drivers do not want to drive for Ferrari ? what are those current/previous policies that cause those better drivers not to drive for them ?
Because of the second driver contracts. You know that.
Ok, Lewis may win the WDC in 07, but Sato will beat him in 08.

Yes I do but I want to understand from you what terminology/lingo you use for describing the current/previous policies of Ferrari that makes better drivers not wanting to drive for Ferrari.
I called it veto and you didn't like it so I want to understand what do you call it. 8)

Veto: An authoritative prohibition or rejection of a proposed or intended act.

I call it other drivers not wanting to play with them. No direct action on Ferrari's part.

So when a better driver proposes to Ferrari that he is happy to drive for them on the condition that the 2 drivers get equal status and Ferrari authoritativly reject that. Isn't that a veto. :compute:

Really I am not trying to be difficult, just that I want to know where we differ on this as I think we actually agree 8) .

To tell you the truth, I asumed that team managers were the ones to shop around for drivers, not the other way around. I could be wrong of course.

If the above is the case, then the driver would reject the package being offered to them if they did not agree with it.
