Yep, it's about McLaren and not about Ferrari! :rolleyes:

If it was Ferrari being in this situation you would be all saying how right Max is. Impressive at least.

I'm not exactly qualified as a Mclaren fan, so how does the above explanation have anything to do with my dislike of Wokings finest?

I certainly wouldn't. Yet again, your arguments are spoilt by the fact that you don't realise that not everyone is actually partisan. Sorry to trot this out again, but it's true.

We all do things because of reasons, and reasons exist because of reasoning (which can be the right or th wrong one). I don't see anything wrong with it.

Max Mosley has said, "It is the role of the FIA to ensure that the rules of the sport are respected and that fairness is applied consistently for all competitors". Note the words, "ALL competitors" - presumably this should not mean just McLaren. So much then for "fairness" and consistently" eh Max?

I believe that, in complicated situations such as these, it's best to look at them more dispassionately.

Well, team orders are already illegal. That ought to suffice.

Team orders are, but favouratism is not. Subtle difference there...

Who says that the FIA wouldn't do the same with other teams too if drivers would complain about favoritism towards their team mate while fighting for the title?
For now we only have Alonso, so I fail to see what should FIA check in other teams if there is no complaint?!
