I've read. Good article. But what happened saturday is, in my opinion, totally different from what happened to MS last year in Monaco. There, MS (in the opinion of the stewards), deliberately prevented FA from taking pole position, moreover on the track. But FA wasn't a MS team mate, and the team didn't told via radio to MS to stop there: there was not link between MS' behaviour and the team. So they punished only MS. This time, in my opinion, the behaviour of the team has been considered, generally, in breach of the article 151/c. I think this has been the reason of the punishment, even if i, personally, don't agree with that decision. Theoretically, since last saturday, the FIA should acquire all the teams' radio recording for every qualifying session in the future, for a reason: McLaren has been punished because the explanation given by the team as to why they kept Alonso stationary for 20 seconds after completion of his tyre change has been considered unacceptable. But this has been discovered only because of the sensational behaviour of FA, RD and for what LH said at the press conference. But also, FIA should investigate on all teams behaviours, on everithng isn't possible to see and to hear directly. I know it's a totally crazy idea, but, as said, Theoretically...
Nice summary:

Every team is free to choose how to work with his drivers. I think Formula 1 is a competition in which the winner wins, but maybe i'm wrong...
