It is , indeed , Davey .

But , don't forget that the original intention was to have them for free .

Two "rogue" employees took the initiative to make it obvious , and gain sympathy for the "hard done by" driver , causing the team to be fined and reprimanded .

The "free pass" is what you get when you don't make it obvious .
And , "obvious" seems to mean tone of voice , "sorry" , and a crowd of fans yelling about team orders being banned , despite seeing it , in the same words , many times , even this year .

Heikki knew what his team wanted , and didn't complain , and was lauded for his team thinking . And this , being honourable in a secondary role , is what being the devoted number two should be all about .
That's what Dennis was all gushy about .

Gilles did his time as number two , and nobody seems to mind . And some think it was the disturbance of his own number two passing him that lead him to the distraction that contributed to his demise .

When it's my turn to wash the toilet , I wash the toilet , and I don't complain . I just wash the thing the best way I know how , and perform the best job I can .

Smedley and Massa should be on toilet duty for a long time to make up for this .
Then , the pi$$y faces would fit .

The above narrative assumes, of course, that the contract Massa signed obliges him to 'do as asked' by the team. However, to do so in the German GP case would be against the rules, no? So, Massa abiding by the rules, is suddenly the bad guy?

As for the toilet analogy, if you were not the oik that 'sprinkled when you tinkled' or left 'third degree skids' in the bowl, you'd clean it regardless of being your turn or not would you????

His employer told his engineer exactly what to say to him .
The way he delivered the message was what got them in trouble .

To assume that anyone's employer should have the right to ask any employee to do as asked is not really a stretch , is it ?
Sign up , do the job , get a paycheque .
The choice is clear .

And , the choice was clear for Felipe , and for Smedley .
They both did as told , but did not do it subtly enough to escape sanction .

Massa did what he was told , or , more correctly , made the logical decision , when told the situation .
He didn't like it , and needed to be told three times .
When finally he relented , and did as his employer expected , he and his engineer made it obvious .

The toilet to which I referred earlier , I own . I have employees in the restaurant who I could ask to do it always , but I take my turn .
And , there is no complaint .

Recently , I had an employee who wouldn't wash the toilet . Her actions disrupted the whole apple cart , as others had to fill in , and do that part of her job , the most disgusting part .
She doesn't work for me any more .

Perhaps you'll drop in for a couple of skid marks some day , so I can take my turn with a worthy opponent .

I am afraid I cannot do 'number two's' in a public toilet. For some reason, in that predicament, my sphincta and my brain refuse to talk to each other. The fact the general public have access to the same loo renders me wholly unable to relax......

I am sure you understand that at times this can be a right royal pain in the a*se, literally. :D

If I had, I would. As I hadn't, I didn't.

Let me make it clear .

I would have fired Felipe on the spot .
I would have told him to pit and get out of my car .
