Ahh, but it
wasn't! Team Orders
are legal in F1, but race fixing and/or bringing the sport into disrepute are
NOT, be it in F1's regs or National laws.
And that is what this whole furore is about. An immoral decision. They did
NOT overstep the technical bounds in respect of the order, but they overstepped a fine line morally and that is what needs to be punished.
I
HOPE they take Ferrari's WCC points away from Austria,
AND More actually.
But I think the best we can hope for is the following;
The FIA appear to more upset (wrongly imho) about the Podium antics than the race result. And so I reckon the "slap on the wrist" (because that's what what I'm about to suggest will amount to) for Ferrari will be that seeing as MS saw fit to hand RB position 1 on the Dias AND the trophy, the FIA will say something like; "Fine, then RB gets the win and the points and MS takes second."
That's what I reckon is the best we can hope for. Anything more than that...........
is a Bonus!!
