Maybe Williams complained, good for them, I can't see any other team doing it.

AFAIK the stewards can investigate without receiving a protest from a rival team. They rarely do, of course, but that's another matter...

Its like they're thinking "Its ok, we're FERRARI, the darlings of the sport, the fans and the media will believe anything we say"

I hope the stewards do the right thing and DQ Alonso, and IMO NOT Massa-who was only following 'orders' and obeying his employers.

Riiight :dozey:

DQ Alonso who was only following 'orders' and obeying his employers ?

At most penalise Ferrari for being donkeys.

And Ferrari should penalise Smedley for making it blatant :devil:

Wow, five pages already? I guess I am very late to the party.

I'll be short and to the point - it was badly disguised team orders and since they are banned I believe a penalty is in order.

Whether the team order ban should be removed is a very different subject.

Whatever bro :s ailor: :p
The rest of the field should be worried about the fact that Ferraris lapped all the way up to p7, and finished almost 1/2 minute ahead of the McLarens! :arrows:

I'll never support these Italian cheap-shots again.

Do you think, it was better in Schumachers time at Ferrari?

But you are right, it's B*** S***....

Yet still they could not totally shake off Sebastian Vettel

If anything that makes it worse. Ferrari owned this weekend, they were quick from Friday morning onwards and clearly had this win in the bag from the second corner of the first lap. They didn't need to resort to such dirty tactics to net a 1 - 2.
