Ferrari’s Ross Brawn has urged Renault to play far as the 2006 battle winds down to a two-race duel.
Confessing to the irony of preaching against blocking or team orders, the Maranello based team’s technical director nonetheless said the employment of those tactics would be ‘unfortunate and unacceptable’ this year as Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso go head-to-head for the crown.
Referring to Ferrari’s prior indiscretions, Brawn told reporters at Suzuka: “It was considered normal practice a few years ago. It’s been deemed to be unacceptable now so we understand that. ”
The Briton said team-mates Giancarlo Fisichella and Felipe Massa should stay out of the fight, particularly in terms of blocking and tactically slow driving.
But Brawn’s comments are even more paradoxical in contrast to team boss Jean Todt’s claim after Shanghai that Ferrari now knows ‘what we can do’ following the apparent precision driving by Renault in China.
