Maxmil should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Todt is a Toad

Jean Todt's remarks are truly outrageous, but he really does bring out an important point. The "everybody else - well, almost everybody - does it" excuse is valid to an extent. I feel that Ferrari treated their fans and all F1 fans for that matter very poorly, but the fact is that the practice of team orders has been fairly widespread. On the other hand, they clearly seem to run aloul of the spitit of Section 48 and Section 151, c). I would like to see a good debate among the fans, the teams and the drivers of the pros and cons of team orders. If the pros win, we change the rules and shut up. If the cons win enforce the rules from here on out. I do believe enforcement is possible by monitoring the radio transmissions.
