it's an absolute shocker,imagine you had a flutter with the bookie on massa winning the race:yikes:
with vetttel only finishing 1sec or so in 3rd then if alonso had to overtake massa somewhere it would have cost the 2 leaders time then it would have made for a really tight finish:ban:

 

[tilestop]

the sound byte of "Alonso is faster than you" was being put to good use this morning by Chris Evans :lol:

F1 will try to get away with anything, it's just the nature. And when they don't get their way, they threaten to make their own F! championship and take all the sponsorship with them, and they get the rules changed in their favour.

It is quite corrupt in that sense but you have to say it's more fun to watch than Footy IMO. !

Totally agree Dan!

While I love the idea of no team orders I know I would be stupid to believe that could ever be the case. I personally can't stand Alonso (yes he is an amazing driver) and I like Massa and so really feel annoyed at what has happened, but at the end of the day we now have 5 drivers in contention for the championship so this last half of the season will be edge of the seats stuff and that has never happened in my 30 years of following F1.

Massa should have slowed down to let the spannish cheat go past him......then have sped up to collide and take both cars out of the race. What gets me is that a lot of Massa's fans would have put bets on him winnig yesterdays race...a year to the day to nearly losing his life. These fans have been duped and should all sue Ferrarri...but whats the point as we know the result!!! CON ARTISTS rrr:

 

[woodie]

That arrogant self righteous fart should have at least a one race ban and the points taken off him, i'm not very keen on Ferrari but Massa was doing a blooming good job and i feel sorry for him, but come on Lewis and Jenson

I was a big F1 fan since I was a kid but now a MotoGP fan. No comparision.

 

[Dan]

I watch a bit of the Moto GP. Much more overtaking.

 

[chrisroe]

Team Orders are already banned, the have been for about 8 years, hence why they said "Alonson is faster than you do you understand", instead of just saying slow down and let alonso go past he has a better chance of winning the championship!! - Which is what they really meant.

Its a joke, absolute rule breaking.

I hate it when teams hold position aswell instead of letting their drivers race to the flag.
