I thought the press conference was very revealing between Ralf and JPM.
[Q: You said you conserved the engine at Hockenheim but actually Patrick Head didn't agree with that.
RS: I think Hockenheim's over isn't it? I made the finish at least, I think that's the important thing. But I think what the English newspapers said was wrong, I think they misquoted me a bit - I've never said that he (Montoya) is responsible that the engine failed. At the end of the day the engine doesn't survive when something's wrong with it.]
Ralf sounds like he is backpedaling. He doesnt want to talk about Hockenheim. Then he defends his credibility by pointing out that finishing is the "important thing". A small jab at Montoya's finishing record this year.
Then Montoya takes a little stab and says: "Sure, if the order is given by the team to let him by, I would." This comment makes Ralf look bad, like he's not a team player.
Very interesting relationship between these two. They sound like school children.
