German GP 2010 - Hockenheimring

[Goran2812]

can't watch this... Alonso doesn't know what to say to justify what they did... Shame on you ferrari...

[MattF1]

oh dear

[gridwalker]

Oh man ... that would have been the first time that I would EVER cheered a ferrari win AND THEY BLEW IT ... 12 months to the day after his accident, they have robbed him of a poetic victory.

[Remote_Access]

c'mon he isn't happy like a man who just won a race should be...

He looked like a jubilant man who realised the crowd was booing him

[Goran2812]

this conference is so sad... ferrari dug them self in a big heap of dung with this... blah...

[komninosm]

Ferrari did the clever thing. Alonso looks depressed on the podium. Massa will support him because Ferari decided it. Without Massa's testimony the stewards cannot throw the book at Ferrari.

I agree too, no way they get a penalty for this. It was just done in a classless way. He simply said "Massa, can you hear me? Alonso is faster than you? Please acknowledge that you heard me". It's pretty vague when you think about it. But the way they said it was "evil" and it seemed that Massa wasn't returning their calls LMAO giving them the silent treatment are we now? All in all this season is full of childish behaviors from a lot of people. [-X

Am I the only one who doesn't really mind team tactics at all? I think the "ban" on team orders is stupid. The teams are investing millions of dollars in their development. They deserve to have a say in the result of their cars.

[komninosm]

Whose fault was that?
Was Kov a lap behind De La Rosa and blue flagged?

Marshal has something blue in the hand but was he waving? I do not know.
In the entry it was like this:

I looked at the lap chart and Kov was indeed a lap behind De La Rosa then.

[myurr]

Ah ha ha ha ha ha haaaaa. Alonso claiming that he didn't know what happened, but Filipe was a little bit slow out of turn 6 so he was able to overtake.

Just like he didn't know about the safety car in Singapore.

Contrary to many peoples opinions, I think that the Ferrari incident was probably the correct decision for the team. Blatant and wrong but still, for the team far better. If not Alonso would have dived up the inside, he was far more aggressive in his style and it would've ended in tears.

It also means the title fight has hotted up, more drivers able to achieve the title now. Gotta be good eh?

However, aside from that. I thought it was a good race, Red Bull hit some bad luck today, got swamped at the start by the two ferrari's.

Sauber has shown some form, lasting much farther into the race than the other teams.
Lotus hit some bad luck too, both drivers getting out of the race.

Reasonably exciting race. The regulations now seem to aiding the chances to get overtaking chances, especially with the different speed profiles of the cars due to the teams going for different ideas to achieve ultimate lap-time.

[Goran2812]

no problem with team tactics with me, it's just the way they do stuff like that... it needs to look more realistic... if those are the right words...

[WhiteBlue]

Massa supported Ferrari in the press conference. So he obeyed and the stewards have no case. As long as the drivers agree with team order it is legal.

[Gonner]

Ferrari should get a ban for that. Something like keeping the drivers point but loosing what they have scored for Constructors Championship, juste like McLaren got in Hungary 2007.

OK, the teams are investing money but the drivers are the ones who take risks to race as fast as their skills and balls allow to. And the drivers should decide if they want to lift a throttle a bit to allow teammate pass to help him with his championship battle.

What results of their cars? What are you talking about? They would have 1-2 even if Massa stayed on p1.

This had nothing to with team's position in WCC. This was fixing of WDC by a team.

Fans are not watching F1 for one team or one driver only, and when one team f*cks everybody else than FIA should react and prevent that traditional Ferrari-invented bullshit.
