Seems to me Felipe is saying if he had his time again he'd defy the team and keep the win.
I think he should have, too. The team would've been mad, but I think he's found the alternative is worse.
They pay him millions to race the car .Quote:

When he's been in the hunt , at the same team , he's been given the favoured position , but now cries about the shoe being on the other foot .
Felipe baby and his buddy Dyer should feel pretty happy they still are employed .
Not on the other foot! He drives for another team altogether: Mercedes.Quote:

Realizing this , it shows far more obviously , why Ferrari did what they did .
They are now one win away from the lead .

...yes, but they were already 1-2 so this was a decision to help alonso in the WDC and give him a win that he did not deserve. All this talk about team is meaningless since they wee on schedule for maximum points already.Quote:

True, but as everybody keeps saying it's the WDC that matters. Take 2008 for example. Ferrari were gutted despite having won the WCC. McLaren were jubilant despite, in theory, them having won nothing and Hamilton having won the WDC. People kept going on about Ferrari not having won a championship for 21 years despite the fact that they had won 3 WCC in that time.Quote:

I guess that would be why nobody has mentioned it .Quote:

By the way , I think you should call him "Hugo" , instead of "the boss" .
That way it won't seem like one driver is being favoured on that team , too . Hee hee .
