Just as the title says!

What do you make of todays race? Massa was robbed! They've been quick all weekend, no need to team order, at all.

Im not really a fan of formula 1, and have not really followed the incident.

I would relegate Alonso to 11th position (gains no points in the drivers championship) and ban ferrari from competing for 3 races.

I think atleast a 1 race ban! It's in the rules that team ordering is not allowed. Massa's race engineer told him that Alonso is quicker ("Alonso is faster than you, can you confirm that you understood that") If he was quicker, let them race! Look back a few races at Vettel and Webber and in the same race Hamilton and Button!

I'm of the other view that as its their cars and their drivers who are being paid to do a job then the team should be able to tell them to do as they want.

If "taking one for the team" means Alonso lost one place and the team ended up with a driver in better standings for the drivers championship then so be it. Its their money.

The way I see it is that Ferrari...Alonso has a chance to win the championship, which= sponsorship=££££. It's was team ordering, BIG slap in the face!

Formular 1 racing is in danger of losing sponsors if the paying public desert the sport.

Agreed, and it's incidents like this that will bring this about! How do you think Webber felt when they gave Vettle his new front wing! Vettle was quicker that weekend, team ordering? But Webber showed them LOL

Apart from Cameron Diaz, I did like the feature on the upgraded Bugatti Veyron,....I would love it if it towed my old peugeot 309 with a bungee cord showing footage of me over-taking Hammond for a brief few seconds. :)
