Yer Christian Horner saying on BBC it was blatant team orders. He is sending a message that Red Bull could get the win.
Alonso claims in the press conference that he doesn't know what happened to Massa, and Massa is not saying anything to say it was his mistake or anything, just "i don't need to say anything" and "he passed me"

There was not a hint of applause in the FIA Media Centre in Germany when Fernando Alonso crossed the finish line to “win” the German Grand Prix.
When the Ferrari press officer arrived in the Media Centre he went straight on to the defensive, without anyone even suggesting that the whole thing was a farce. That said it all. If Alonso was faster he could have proved it by overtaking Massa. Instead he whined on the radio (as usual) and in the end Massa was “convinced” to let him move ahead.
Gawd bless Massa, he really does know the meaning of "taking one for the team", doesn't he? They should paint "welcome" on his forehead, so that everybody knows he's a doormat.
Same old Ferrari, sad for massa, tipical old school Ferrari enough said IMO
The switch was clearly against the rules. Ferrari undoubtedly deserved a 1-2 today but they managed to spoil what should be a great night of celebration with them ordering Massa to let Alonso passed. Lets see what the FIA make of this.
Smedley clearly didn't agree hece the lack of veil with his message, since then someone has clearly had a quiet word and he's gone all team line. Alonso claiming he didn't know what happened is laughable, even less likely that he didn't know about Singapore!
Massa will not be seen near the front of a race this year, given he will now have zero confidence, something he requires to be at the front
massa's words in the press conference are telling
if the FIA don't investigate this then they loose all credibility.
because I tell you if it was mclaren, they would have already issued an investigation notice and alter on today banned both drivers for the next race and stripped them of points.
This to me is what needs to happen because they clearly broke the rules. It is not even a gray area matter but a straight up breaking of the rules. So we will wait and see if the fIA are going to live by their rules or loose all credibility
Yes I can't wait either since the man who is now the FIA President was involved in the previous controversy which led to the team order ban.Quote:
