I was discussing this race again with a friend last night and he pointed out another example of a manufacturer asking one team to move over for the benefit of a separate team allowing them to win the championship, this time AMG was the victim.
In 2019 the IGTC championship was decided at Kyalami when Porsche ordered the GPX Porsche to move over and allow the Frikadelli Porsche into the lead, ultimately allowing them to win the championship.
I'm sure there are more examples but its pretty common in sportscar racing. I believe the main reason its been blown out of proportion this time is because Ferrari was the victim here.
