oh... you meant ferraritommylommykins wrote:goran: Massa has an incentive to keep his own job. So he will say whatever he needs to say, so long as it helps him keep his job.
I think it would not reflect well on the FIA if the matter was not pursued because Massa said he moved over of his own free will, or that he made a mistake...

Did they ask Hamilton in Spa in 2008.
No, they looked at the telemetry and decided that Hamilton had gained an advantage, even if he had let Kimi in front.
Why don't they do it here. The same thing would have happened between the RB pilots or the Macca pilots, CryBaby Alonso would be all over the place with " Talk to Charlie, leave me alone, Life's Unfair "
Whats he to do? Stay behind Massa? This rests squarely with Ferrari hierarchy.
Alonso was on the radio saying the situation was ridiculous - ie. get me past.JohnsonsEvilTwin wrote:Having a pop at Alonso isnt really constructive.

Exactly - there is no rule preventing Massa from choosing to let Alonso past out of his own "free will"...WhiteBlue wrote:Both Smedley and Massa did everything they could to get Ferrari into trouble for this team order advantaging Alonso. Smedley could not have been any more obvious in his radio calls and Massa also made the deliberate slow down obvious.
To me this indicates that they were both royally pissed off and wanted to demonstrate that to the world. Still if Massa eventually gives testimony that he agreed with swapping race positions Ferrari may get away with it. The whole thing is very political and difficult to predict.
