The Ferrari team orders

[Andreas]

The first question that comes to mind about the German Grand Prix and the Ferrari team order incident is:

Since team orders are illegal (since the "Let Michael pass for the championship") why did Ferrari make this so obvious? Felipe himself of course wanted to let the world know he had to let Alonso pass him, I understand that he was angry. But was Felipe's race engineer pissed off about the decision too?

"Fernando is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?"

and then after the pass thanking Felipe.

Surely Rob Smedley could have handled it a bit more discreetly? A "you need to conserve fuel to make it to the end" would have probably done the job too....

Yeah, i thought that too, was so obvious the team orders like this just like in austria. Massa signed a new contract with ferrari a few months ago, but i dont think he signed there that he would be a new barrichello in ferrari, so thats why rob was so angry too. But who really knows this story is gonna be very long.

This is so bad for the sport i cant even express myself. When i saw that, i turned off the tv for the first time since 2003 i missed a F1 checkered flag. We saw during all this years team orders, like 2008 with Massa passing Raikkonen in China. 2007 Massa coming of the pits behind Kimi, like that i can understand those were situations that the drivers were fighting for the title at the END of the season, we are in the middle of the season for a decision like this. I know that Massa is not going to fight for the title, but if Alonso wants the points fight for them in the track and make the move, like we saw Button and Hamilton on turkey.

I'd like to know whats Schumacher opinion over this.

BBC made a special about senna, and what he said at 8:32 of this video is something that fits this Ferrari situation right now so perfectly that is just disgusting to see drivers Alonso not attempting the move and Massa letting him pass.
I think that what Senna said is what every F1 fan may also think, but too bad that a few drivers dont feel the same anymore.
Too bad that even Senna did that after Ron Dennis saying for him to do it with Berger in Suzuka, and neither him or Berger were happy at the podium with the order and made that kind of clear. The problem is when you start to see this as a normal thing.
