The Copy Never Works

THE 2007 Formula1 season has shown that a copied thing cannot be successful. Stripping McLaren off its constructors points and their performance after that should be a good lesson for those who believe 'Copying the best is the best'.

McLaren which had given stiff competition to the Ferraris, not only the competition, but outdrove them with a few 1-2 finshes in the beginning could not drive its drivers to the championship title but lost to a driver(Kimi Raikennen) who was trailing by more than 10 points with just 4 races to go.

This drastic deterioration of the performance immediately after the The Spy Scam surfaced in which McLaren was accused of stealing and using Ferrari's technical information.Now to save their skin they had to change the car in a hurry, which of course could not match the ferraris.

So my mantra of "Be original" has been strengthened
