...and 'arranging' races amongst "team" members in Formula racing is surprising how, exactly?

Typo - it should read "corruption". I became flustered with the new log-in business.

It didnt just assist his teammate, it re-arranged the whole field and ultimately altered the outcome of the entire championship. And it wasn't a strategy decided during the race, it was all planned out BEFORE the race. They fueled one car specifically to be out front at the moment the teammate purposely crashed, thus forcing all the other cars to line up behind. And they planned the crash in the only place on the track that would knowingly line all the other cars behind because they couldn't clear wreckage off the track at that turn without stopping the race for everybody to line up behind their driver. This was not teammate assisting, this is pure 'race fixing'. F1 is serious business. This guy is not only getting kicked out of F1, hes going to be sued by several entitys with criminal proceedings very likely.
