Look! I'd like all this to happen, but being a pragmatist, I know nothing will happen. Nothing will come out of the WMSC hearing, and all the protests and rants in this forum will come to nothing, nada, zero, moh yeh, opsayo!Quote:

The team orders ban is really a feel-good regulation, and the only reason Ferrari were called out was that they ruined Massa's chance for victory a year on from his accident, and there was nothing else happening on track to distract the viewers.
Perhaps team's prediction that Alonso was faster than Massa is right. If not mistaken in lap 16 he can make the gap closer, and traffic in lap 21 was benefiting him again to run in slipstream right behind Massa, we may see that Alonso already took the leads although at the end Massa managed to hold him off.
He might not want to drive overly offensive to the teammate -besides Massa is the one already at the team way longer than him- and decided to back off that gave chance cooling down the engine while Massa keep pushing the car. It was likely Massa's car experiencing power-down and Alonso consistently succeeded to close the gap and took the lead.
We are just not pleased with the move of Massa that looked as if he gave the way for Alonso went through. Imo it was coincidence, no deliberate team order...
This reminds me of Rubens...Quote:

it seems to me that the mofos at Ferrari today forgot who pays their bills.
it is the fan and the viewer. and today they just shi**ed on them all.
this is the sadest thing, this is bleeding greed. I want your money, you pay ridiculous prices at the races or for our stupid fan stuff but shut up and be a good boy with whatever we deliver cause we are so cool.
Yes, they contend for a championship. and as far as I know the art of overtaking is part of the qualification to be called race driver. Has Fernanado lost it?
they made this call like what... 20 laps prior to the end?
Fernando tried only once in the early race but was countered by Massa, then guess what... he starts whining ("mama, he put me to grass..." comes to mind)
and then, he did not even try to get by Massa on his own.
Farrari claims he was faster? well, he did not prove that to me. Massa conserves tieres to be ready for the fight when it comes (whatever, it is not important because race results are not determined by fastest lap lists!)... instead "the call" comes.
To be trading fastest laps is what this is all about, working the opponent and trying for the pass is what this is about.
the journalist who dared to ask Fernando if this win ranks "up there with Malaysia" for him should get a free drink!
Put that wind up there where the sun don't shine for all I care.
"ok... Felipe... listen... Fernando thinks he has a loose spring in the back, we want you to check that please. do you copy?"
"ok... Felipe... listen... we do not trust you to screw it when Fernando will try to banzai by you so please be a nice boy and let him pass"
"ok... Felipe... listen... we have way to many fans and we want to look like complete arses, do you copy?"
"ok... Felipe... listen... code red 007... in the night is is colder than outside, I repeat: in the night it is colder than outside. please break twice to copy!"
and to all that say everbody does it.... no, they do not!
some teams, McLaren for example even give you the complete radio traffic as a read on their homepage. something like this, shuffling positions during the race just to have the no1 in front, nobody else did this year. Not even attempted.
I want my money back.
Actually I hate to break it for you, but it is Santander. And they have not forgotten that.Quote:
