Pironi didn't "ignore team orders", the rat stole the win from Gilles, who had no way of knowing his younger teammate intended to pass him, and was proceeding at a leisurely pace!
And were it not for team orders, Gilles could well have taken the championship the year before. '82 was to finally be _his_ year, which is why he was so startled by Pironi's behavior.
