I agree completely. 
In further defence of the scuderia. Did anyone note the latent blocking tactics employed by fisi? Then fisi letting nando past oh and then trying the patented schumi chop(tm) on schumi himself after his (fisi's) pitstop forcing schumi to take to the grass. Ah but thats ok it was just good old fashioned racing. 
Maybe the anti Schumacher brigade might like to read Nigel Roebucks 5th column in last weeks autosport shedding some light on the 'after you claude' good old boys.
I had to laugh though just reading a story on planetf1 apparently Jean Todt is to learn from renault's team orders and maybe use them in future races.

He was talking about Farina in the first half of that column, a man who was renowned for being a very dirty driver - and one who's driving standards were entirely at odds with the vast majority of drivers from that period. The particular race Roebuck refers to saw Farina's unpleasant tactics result in the death of another driver.
Perhaps you should go back and re-read the column. Roebuck has, for a number of years, been a staunch critic of some of Michael Schumacher's tactics, while appreciating, as we all do, that he is a very good driver. NR has also been extremely critical of the current Ferrari regime - as he is in the article to which you refer.
As for the Fisichella blocking that you mentioned, well that's fine by me. Renault knows what it's up against so, as far as I'm concerned, there's absolutely nothing wrong with them using the same tactics as Ferrari.

I've always found NR's recent anti-Ferrari bile somewhat inconsistent. His worship of G. Villeneuve doesn't help, but he seems to blindly forget that the Old Man made Bernie look like a Kindergarten Teacher.
