Dear oh dear. This really is as bad as Austria...

FIA better investigate this.

JUMPURS · 25 Jul 2010 at 14:09

Ferrari will get into trouble with this.

Everything they have done this season hasn't went their way with the FIA. This will be the same. It is a clear team order and i think Charlie will punish them.

that was disgusting, a complete disgrace! :mad:

pingwing · 25 Jul 2010 at 14:09

BOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Thank god massa didnt make that obvious.....

Time to email the FIA again....

matthewhotdude · 25 Jul 2010 at 14:09

Massa should just take the **** now and stop

DBT85 · 25 Jul 2010 at 14:10

I doubt anything will happen sadly.

Will the FIA look into this?

Hope so it's pretty damn obvious what happened, especially after Smedley told him "well done" and "sorry" after conceding the position.

aw :/

massa should have made it more obvious.

He made it perfectly obvious. He would have done it under braking if he wanted to hide it imo.

I hope so! They should both get reprimanded for it!

What a joke...

I thought racing included overtaking cars properly regardless of whether their your team mate.

Disgrace, I hope Massa gets 2nd and shows his anger after the race for the camera

boooo

logix42p · 25 Jul 2010 at 14:10

techincally no team orders where given so nothing FIA can do. They may have been implied but not given etc

Mad old tory · 25 Jul 2010 at 14:11

Utterly pathetic. I can understand why they did it but if Alonso really was much faster then he bloody well should have made a move.

So that would be team orders then?

Yes. Which is illegal in the rule book. So the FIA has no choice but to serve up a punishment

muon · 25 Jul 2010 at 14:11

Vettel closing in on Massa.

edit: there we go, mentioned in commentary now

Over Clocker · 25 Jul 2010 at 14:11

That's utter balls. Ferrari should be penalised for that. Blatant team orders. Disgusting.

This is why people don't like Ferrari.

If the FIA don't do something about this it will suck.

utajoker · 25 Jul 2010 at 14:12

massa shouldnt accept his 2nd place trophy and just leave the spot empty on the podium.

Psch right but we all know they were given whether 'hidden' or not

NathanE · 25 Jul 2010 at 14:13

All we need now is Alonso pushing Massa onto the top step. That would just pretty much cap this race off as a total shambles (both in no overtaking and rule breaking).

Danthus · 25 Jul 2010 at 14:13

Surely the FIA just need to look at a sample of the Massa telemetry for that corner, it will be obvious that way if he lifted or braked differently.

Over Clocker · 25 Jul 2010 at 14:13

I notice the FIA website has become unavailable just as that happened!
