Herrlich - damit wird doch nur offiziell, was längst usus ist.

Was ist denn "usus"?

Und welchen Inhalt hat die Gewohnheit?

[chicks]

Na ich vermute es wird auf die Einflussmöglichkeit die sich Honda verschafft hat angespielt. Doch Honda gehörte schon immer zu den guten Lobbyisten.

Na ich vermute es wird auf die Einflussmöglichkeit die sich Honda verschafft hat angespielt. Doch Honda gehörte schon immer zu den guten Lobbyisten.

Und dieser Quatsch hält sich dermassen hartnäckig, das es kaum zu glauben ist. Es gibt keine einzige Regeländerung, ohne das dieser die anderen Hersteller nicht zugestimmt haben.
Aber was konnte man darüber schon für unsinn lesen, Honda würde die Dorna bestechen und ähnlicher Blödsinn.

[chicks]

Meiner Meinung nach hat das nix mit Bestechung zu tun. Es gibt keinen Bereich in der Wirtschaft der nicht durch Lobbyisten gesteuert wird. Kann man sehen wie man will.

[erpel]

Die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist hoch, das Honda dadurch auf jeden Fall nicht weniger Einfluss ausüben kann.
Unwahrscheinlich ist, das der Draht um Einfluss nehmen zu können dünner geworden ist.
Aber auch ich weiß es nicht genau.

Ein bieschen Satire

Dear George,

The shitweasels are onto us! It might be time to circle the butter wagons and load the hammers, women and children onto the lifeboats.

Matthias won’t return my calls. His secretary pretends she doesn’t know who I am, and keeps saying she’s not interested in buying any butter.

I don’t want you to panic, George. We are days away from Jerez and I need you to shine in Spain. Like a buttered spear in the sun. But I have to admit I am concerned for our immediate future.

The Germans don’t want us anymore. It seems they have a lot of money tied up in paying fines for lying about how much poisonous gas their cars produce, and they are making economic rationalisations.

The last time they did that, Poland became a playground for panzer divisions.

They feel they are paying you too much to race against Karel Abrahams. They thought they were buying someone who could race against Marquez, Vinales and the Yellow Puta who is now leading the championship, but that’s not how it’s turned out.

Matthias keeps looking at the 50 Euros per race he’s paying Petrucci versus the one million-odd he’s paying you, stares at the championship standings, and then has to sit in a dark cupboard for a while.

But it gets worse. And I feel things may soon be out of our control. I got this in my Inbox just yesterday:

“Hello my good friends.

My name is Ranjeet and I represent the Gujarat Best Happiness Pappadam Company.

I understand you are for sale and we have been considering it would be very good for our company if we bought your team.

My friends at Mahindra, who I played cricket with at school, are very developed for the best motorcycle racing technology, and we can use all of the Mahindra research and development to make your red motorcycle the fastest in the last seven slowest motorcycles.

We can even offer the services of Jaideep Krishnamurti who has won the Mumbai Motorcycle Excellence Racing Cup several times if your man George is not happy for racing. Jaideep is happy to race for a bowl of biryani and some chapatis.

Your friend, Ranjeet Agarwal

And then this turns up an hour later:

“Greetings to you, beloved capitalist running dogs.

I am Jing-Sheng Kwok and I am the chairman of Wuhan Steel, where we make steel for the revolution.

My company is considering the purchase of Germany, Italy and your racing team, especially now it is not doing much racing and is cheap to buy. In fact, we will probably buy everything west of Istanbul soon, and I understand that is where you are located.

Rest assured our commitment to Ducati Corse will be total. You will win every race for the glory of the Party, or you will harvest salt from the People’s Salt Farm Collective at Hutan. Your choice is clear.

Best regards, Jing-Sheng Kwok”

I’m not harvesting fucken salt, George. And I do not even know what “pappadams” are.

But I do know we are in a shitblizzard and you’re not helping.

You need to help, George. On Sunday, you better turn up looking and performing like fucking Help Personified and Incarnate.

Always optimistic,

Gigi
