end of the day the Fair play Tsar found nothing to suggest either driver was being favoured. Did that shut up the whinging Spaniards? No, unfortunately they are still bitter to this day. Losers.

Up until Alonso signed his severence with the backmailing you are right there was no team orders. Thats why Alonso spat the dummy (he felt he deserved preferential treatment. After that, there still werent team orders and for the last few races there was an FIA in the McLaren garage holding Alosos hand and ensuring fair play.

So McLaren were so bad, they needed an FIA official stationed in their garage to try and keep them honest. Must hurt having to admit the team you support is that bad.

Where was that FIA official when Massa`needed him??????

Massa hasn't complained, it's only the other teams, their fans and the antiFerrarista that are complaining.

Nope didnt hurt at all because they arent bad.

Well, I guess we all have our own standards, being caught cheating and listening to private communications that don't involve you, in my book is bad.

So rules are only to be upheld if a person involved complains? Thats strange rules. So a driver still in contract who is afraid to complain and upset his team receives no protection, but a driver getting sacked who can rant and rave because he's history anyway, he does get protection. Stanger and stranger.

It's obviously hard for you to accept that Felipe said he wasn't hard done by in any way. It was his decision and that's that. I've already posted the proof (and this is "real" proof - not some blog of someone saying they overheard Felipe). If you want the video of Felipe's interview, I'll happily post it again for you.

Spanky also mutes the television everytime the "team radio" graphic comes onscreen.

Felipe wants a drive next year.

[vaptin]

Felipe had his chance, he'll just have to work harder in the factory and try harder next year.

Felipe had his chance?? His teammate was whinging on the radio in...what race 1 or race2. Ive never heard Felipe whinge in the radio. Thats not how you should get your chance.

And Ferrari stood firm, interestingly Brundel thought it was a given that Alonso should be let through there as he was fast enough to overtake people in front of Massa as well, although I don't think Massa would've kept Hamilton behind him.

[scotty]

By the same token, Smedley had to tell Massa the best way to take a corner in Australia. Undeniably laughable. Is that how you get full support and conviction from the team as a driver who would seriously have a chance at the title in what isn't the best car? Vap is right, Felipe had his chance but blew it by not being up to the job, unlike the drivers in the other WCC-contending teams (and perhaps this caused all the following actions - Ferrari were effectively out of the WCC race so what are they supposed to do? Answer - what's best for the team as a whole and try and get in the WDC picture!).

[Hammer278]

Ferrari are still in the WCC picture...another 1-2 and poor results from McLaren/Redbull in just 1 race will put them right back in the frame.

But will it make Alonso and Massa bestest teammates?

[Robert12010]

i dont think that alonso and massa are the best team mates on the grid, far from it, that has to go to Jenson and Lewis!

I think you're right....so long as Lewis always gets his way!

They both get their way. Neither want to win by walkin g all over their team mate-they'd rather not bother.

Oh sure, the whole McLaren team sit around singing kumbaya and discussing mutual love....you have to be kidding!
