This doesn't faze me in the slightest as I mentioned I'm pretty sure this sought of thing has been done before I think its because alot of people just don't like Alonso.

Its no where near as big as people are making out to be its not as though Ferrari had specced drawings of Mclarens 2011 car or something but I guess thats a well worn story.

Your first point has nothing to do with it. Yes I think Alonso is a little cry baby that should go do something else.
But if it was McLaren or any of the other teams, I'd still think the same. Team orders are illegal in F1.

Its definetly not as big as the McLaren spygate drama, in that it won't really affect the sport beyond this race, unless of course it isn't dealt with harshly at the WMSC. But it brings the sport into disrepute, I bet those that bet on a Massa win at high odds are fuming, and rightfully deserve to be paid out. We can't have situations where the integrity (what little it has) is broken because a team wants to play 'god' with the race results.

I mean really its pure cheating.

Well then we may aswell call Michael Schumacher a cheat then because he has been in that situation more than a few times.

Back when he was part of it though, there weren't any clear rules on it. Now there is.

Sure, it may have been cheeky back then, but technically not breaking any rules.
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

The interviews after the race were awesome. Best I've ever seen. Personally I see f1 as a team sport and have no problems with what they did. If i owned an f1 team I would always have a number one and number driver and it would be made clear in their contracts. I dislike Alonso but I'm suprised when people don't rate him as a driver, I think he's as quick as any of the drivers.

Where did you see that? Or did you read the interviews? I was looking forward to watching that part after reading it. It wasn't on the bbc coverage.

Was funny after the podium when the Ferrari drivers the Domenicali went back out for a team shot. Awkward smiles and Massa looking pissed. Poor guy.

Looking very like one way traffic this weekend with Alonso looking like the closest to those out of sight RBR cars.A whole second difference between RBR and the next best I don't think I can remember a GP when the gulf in time has been so large.
