Ferrari Are At It Again

I refuse to watch the end of the race if team orders are going to dictate a race winner.

I was really looking forward to watching Alonso have a go at Massa, until Ferrari management got involved.

Their first race this year heading towards a 1-2. Massa was doing everything right. Alonso was quicker, and it is Alonso's multi million pound paid job to drive a racing car and overtake, not Massa's team orders to get out of the way.

Shame on them.

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH.!!!!!!
I thought we were done with all this when Shumi first retired and they changed the rules to say "NO TEAM ORDERS"

.................................. obviously not

If Alonso is faster, then let him get past. There are rules against this IIRC.

Lets hope Danny Sullivan just reverses the positions after the race, letting Massa take all the points. That would be lesson enough.

Does Danny Sullivan run Ferrari? Why should he decide how they race. I don't get it.

The only way to truly stop this is by getting rid of the championship. I kind of like this idea - individual Grand Prix should be more important. However we have the championships that is why we have things like Collins and Fangio.

Yep sadly Ferrari is instilled with this depressing culture, and it appears Alonso has taken over from where Schumacher left off. I really don't like the guy. It was like Hungary '07, where he stayed in the pits to stop Hamilton from having a final go at pole ,and then flattly denied he did anything wrong and that the team told him to stay. What crap. The guy is absolutely full of it. He actually sat there and just spilled the biggest pile of #@^% I have heard, we all know he is lying, we know that Massa was told to let him through, clearly in breach of the rules.
I hope Massa bangs it on pole next time out and beats him, and doesn't move over.

Clearly. I don't think there can be any debate. If the FIA don't do anything I'm going to have to change my signature.

Yes, they broke the rules. No, they didn't cheat.

Team orders are a part of F1, they have been since day 1. Live with it.

Remember Monza, 1979? Gilles followed Jody round for lap, after lap. He could have passed, and won the title. He didn't. He was an honourable man, following his team leader, who DID win the title.

Plus ca change, people!

Ya, that was pretty lame. Especially in the way they did it; with obvious radio calls. I especially liked the Alonso radio at the end of the race, "what happened to Massa in the end did he miss a gear or something?" FIA should check the data at the end to see what happened.

There is a cheeky way of doing things and then there are the Italians. Like the world cup with their obvious dives.

At the end of the day, did any of you guys think Ferrari were going to let Massa win and Alonso finish second?

Stop watching. Unless you do that then they will never learn.

They were magnanimous. Smedley will explain that later...

So basically if Massa and Alonso are running together, Massa is not allowed to finish ahead. Massa should **** this team and leave.

In normal conditions, Alonso would have to fight for the position as he tried and couldn't, that makes this even more a farce. I hope Ferrari gets punished and lose all points from this race and 10 positions in the next race for both drivers.
