a team with a budget like Ferrari this should have been US$20,000,000Quote:
Ferrari have been fined US$100,000 by the FIA after race stewards deemed they had breached sporting regulations. The case has also been referred to the World Motor Sport Council (WMSC).
now if alonso can get massa to lie what part did alonso play in crash gate ?Quote:
For his part, Massa suggested he and not the team had made the decision to surrender the lead to Alonso: “In my opinion this was not a case of team orders: my engineer kept me constantly informed on what was going on behind me, especially when I was struggling a bit on the hard tyres: so I decided to do the best thing for the team, and a one-two finish is the best possible result, isn’t it?”
It is fair. Fair to the rational self-interests of Ferrari whose aim it is to leverage their assets rationally in order to attain their stated goal of winning the titles.Quote:

We've seen team orders applied, one way or the other since 2003.
I guess its been a mixture of Ferrari being gullible with their comms now that radios are scrutinised and Massa throwing his toys out by making out how blatant he was asked to move over cf. Kovy pretending to make a mistake and letting Hamilton through in 2008.
I think its tricky for some kind of compromise/halfway house to enforce.
:D Perish the thought! Dennis was a team manager in the mould of Colin Chapman which as we saw did NOT go down too well with Alonso.Quote:

I agree. It's nothing new. Mark today on your calendars as the day that a whole lot of F1 fans realized that teams use team orders!Quote:
