The 'oh no it wasn't', 'oh yes it was' fair/unfair team orders and contract clauses thread

Knock yourselves out......

I say I say I say....

What is the difference between a clause that allows you to win if you are able to be ahead by more than 6 seconds and a clause that does not allow you to win even if your team mate is way way way behind?

Answers on a postcard.......

That is what I object to - a driver being eliminated from title contention by his team, not by his own actions or results.

You are stating as fact something that is your own opinion. By Austria 2002, MS had 44 points to RB's 6, and that had nothing to do with team orders: it was the result of what had happened at the track in the first 5 races. To state that such a difference was the result of Ferrari deliberately blocking RB, is ridiculous. RB could not challenge for the title because of his own limitations (or will you also accuse Brawn GP of hampering him in 2009? ;) ), not because Ferrari didn't let him. In fact, many races that MS won RB could not finish second.

And you really not being logical, because you "save" Williams from the shame of 1981 using the fact that Reutemann was able to challenge for the title. That happened simply because Jones had a crappy season, not because the team was fair to Reutemann.
