I thought I had made a mistake but the chassis numbers are the same as now.

Nico Rosberg, car 4, MGP W01 / 04:

Haha, now you come to mention it, it's actually also like when Bill Clinton said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"! :lol:

I wonder whether Domenicali and/or Dyer were the ones who asked Felipe to let Alonso past the first two times, and that was why Smedley was asked to do it the third time despite it not being seen as good practice for the driver's personal engineer to deliver such a message.

Anyway, far too much speculation based on limited information already on this subject. What is surely beyond dispute now is that Alonso is quicker than Massa with the current car/tyre package - again at Hungary he's 3 to 5 tenths faster than Felipe, as he has been pretty much all season.

Lauda compares Ferrari with Red Bull tactics. :lol:
If you approach it politically then you are in the Ferrari mould. Or you try to give both your drivers equal opportunities and the fans an exciting sport, as Red Bull are doing in letting their drivers compete with each other.
Like Ferrari didn't gave their drivers equal chances and opportunities to compete eachother. #-o How can you compare these two teams. Both Red Bull drivers have been equal performing wise and points wise, while Massa hadn't scored in the last 3 races and already was 78 points behind the leader. Ferrari's chances for the constuctor title are nil and if they want to keep the race open for the driver's championship it's obvious which horse to bet on and take every opportunity they can, also gaining an extra 7 points that would've gone to Massa and would not benefit the team.

Massa knows better than anyone else that team result is more important than anything else and agreed with it before signing for Ferrari. If he and his babysitter Smed wouldn't have acted so dramatic and handled it a bit more mature all this fuss wouldn't happened. I also blame Massa for acting like a drama queen by almost parking his car to let Alonso by who turns out to be the whipping boy for the majority of the herd.
