    Correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to remember he's a double world champion

    As an avid Ferrari fan I am sick at the outcome yesterday. Massa's face at the post race interview said it all. Ferrari management should be ashamed of themselves. Massa should have had the top spot. Clear orders given. Not so sure that Alonso should be punished as it was not really the drivers fault. Management should be kicked in the arse! Fantastic they got a 1, 2 but it was not the happy win I wanted. Feel sorry for Massa.

    Ok take your points on board (another Ferrari fan )

    Lets look at the what if's then. Ferrari decide not to intervene & Alonso snuggles up the @rse of Massa, who by now does not have the pace. Vettel then does like wise behind Alonso. Now what have we got the potentail for here ...................... mistakes, BIG mistakes that could jepordise the 1-2 finish that Ferrari SO badly needed.
    The way I see it is that Ferrari BADLY needed the points & decided (Massa's choice btw ) to let the faster guy take the lead in order to maximise the chances of finishing 1st (as a team) & hope to secure the 2nd as well.

    Job done ................................. next

    (Interesting points from DC yesterday ............... back in the early days, if a driver was struggling he would sometimes take his team mates car to see if he could go faster )

    Mistakes? You mean competitive racing don't you, god forbid that should happen between Ferraris.

    When was the last time two red cars raced each other like Senna and Prost, like Alonso and Hamilton, like Button and Barricello etc.

    Ferrari are wrong for F1 IMO. I want to see racing between drivers, especially when they have equal machinery not gifting someone the lead.

    wey hey great to hear from a like minded ferrarista i think you hit that nail right on the head.as for calling ferrari cheats is beyond me when only a couple of seasons back the silver ferrari got a slap on the wrist for trying to spy on ferrari and never got disqualified from f1 so how on earth you can expect ferrari to be booted out,problem with formula one is that everyone is out to beat ferrari.......not an easy job when your dealing with the best!!....

    Did you hear the radio communications made to Massa when they advised that Alonso was faster ...... the guy making the call ended by saying sorry to Massa kinda sums it all don't you think even Ferrari knew what they were asking was not fair to Massa never mind anything else the point is Massa was in the lead Alonso should have raced and driven to try pass massa I thought that was the whole point to racing.

    Actually, Mclaren were booted out of the constructors championship, they received a massive fine $100m and had to have their car inspected to prove that it had no Ferrari intellectual property on it. I'm very surprised how little you know about F1 for a Ferrari fan.

    Their drivers were only allowed to compete because they were leading the championship, during that season there was a number of debatable rulings that meant that a Ferrari driver ended up winning the drivers championship. I still think Hamilton strange gearbox problem in the final race was very suspect.
