After today the team lost support of many, including me. I just hope for Felipe that he still can make more good results this year.
If the car has made the progress it seems, he has chances to win more races imo.
Btw : Massa makes generally very good starts. Almost every race he made a better start then Alonso. Being on 3th position on the grid, I did expect him to take the lead in the first corner, and so he did.
This was a straight question (from another forum)

Q: (Ian Gordon – News of the World) Fernando, you said after Valencia that the race had been manipulated in favour of Lewis. Those words seem a bit hollow now. Where will this victory rank in your career, is it up there with Singapore 2008?
Ferrari sets the environment for these drivers. FIA leave ambiguity in their rules. Don't blame Alonso. Put the blame where it should be. Why should Alonso risk his position when all he has to do is prove he is faster and then call in and have the team handle it. Now do I agree - hell no!!
The transcript of the press conference is feisty reading, especially the questions from the floor!

They were all over Alonso, and rightly so.Quote:

Pure gold!

If Massa is dissatisfied then the time to argue the point was during recent contract negotiations.
The FIA fines Ferrari and investigates because of the rule - but as can be argued - the actual application is not quite so simple.
Are there teammorders? No.
Could Massa have defended his position? Yes. He did so earlier on in the grand prix from Alonso. Massa made this decision.
The fine Ferrari looks to be paying is really because the "spirit" of the rule is probably considered broken - but then the FIA are capricious as we saw with the double-diffuser issue in 2009.
