Team orders at Ferrari

BBC now saying that the FIA could end up being forced to take Ferrari's word on the events and leave the result to stand.

Cue a furious backlash from all quarters and it would pretty much render Article 39.1 pointless.

If this pass is deemed legal, then that has implications for the battles between Webber & Vettel, and Button & Hamilton. The gloves wil be off. The FIA simply have to act to nip this in the bud.

Alonso is talking a load of balls on TV now.

well, if they simply take what will now be probably Massa's words trying to save his job (along with Smedley's job), that it was solely his decsision

or even some language, of , "oh, english not my first langage, and I mis-understood, they were really just warning me that FA was faster, and dumb me, I just thought by mistake, they meant move over.....and besides those gear shifts are tricky things, yaydayaydada...." :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

All concerned deserve Oscars for today's performances :dozey:

Whatever else happens Smedley will be gone from Ferarri at the end of the year if not before.
If Massa goes I do not think Alonso will want (allow) Webber as a teamate or Kubica either. He will want (demand) someone who will obey orders and stay slower than him.

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

As a big Michael "Master of Team Orders" Schumacher fan, You don't sound convincing. ;p

This is, for much of the Schumacher era team orders weren't outlawed. Sure they were unpleasant, but until the aftermath of Austria 2002 they were permitted. Alonso whines about "munipulated races" but is quite happy to benefit from Ferrari's munipulation of this one - and that makes him a hypocrite.
