Probably Massa as he was the one doing the illegal stuff. Or possibly both

The financial penalty was a nonsense, and the FIA should have applied a sporting penalty. But what should that be? As the objective of breaking the rules was to improve Alonso's standing in the WDC, any sporting penalty should reverse that situation. BUT:
You can make a case for penalising Ferrari because they told Massa to move over
You can make a case for penalising Massa because he actioned the team orders
It's harder to make a case against Alonso because all he did was overtake a slow-moving car.
Now what's that nickname that everyone uses for Alonso?
