[What's Burning?]

It's obvious that the problem is two fold, you have a rule that's difficult to implement because there's not clear way to police it, hence it's a farce. While at the same time that rule is there to give some semblance of *sport* to the sport, otherwise we have fans watching pre-determined results and leading to team orders to create a safety car situation at the expense of one driver to benefit the other driver... sound familiar?

Regardless of which side you're on, the rule IS the problem.

I suspect that the generalized rule of no team orders will not be there next year and it will be replaced by a handful of clear cut rules preventing certain explicit actions that could be given as a team order.

The only gain here would probably be more transparent radio communications next season.

Different thing.

Not to the rule.

Such as?

As of Hungary 2010, no radio communications can be vetoed by teams from being broadcast.

Not all team orders are given via radio... Renault's crash-gate wasn't.
