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

We all were flabbergasted and angry when they pulled that move in Austria 2002 and then again later that year in Indianapolis.

They admitted it at the time but back then it was not against the rules.

Any bets that Ferrari have told Felipe what to say?

The worst part is that Felipe keeps saying what Ferrari tell him to say.
What the F man, get yourself some dignity or you will sink in the $h!t with these pigs.

I expect they'll be shown their own radio feeds, and then they'll be flummoxed

They managed to turn their best race of the year into a complete disgrace, I wonder how can they be so stupid?!

A very good point:
If the Ferrari results stand (and yes I think the pass was dubious) it means they put a dent in the team that they were furthest behind. With major upgrades coming for Spa, this result was massive for the wcc.

Back then it wasn't illegal.
Worst part today is that they did this openly with everything in the air so that we could all hear it and they take us for idiots afterward saying it wasn't team orders.

BBC: Alonso leaves the stewards room with a big smile on his face, Felipe leaves alone looking glum

Alonso apparently happy coming out of the stewards' office.
