    Disgusting move by Ferrari, but Alonso has shown in the past that he does not mind cheating or being helped to win. Alonso cant win on his own merits. If he is faster then he should show some skill by passing Massa, not have the boss telling Massa to roll over like a good little dog.
    This was looking like a good come back for Massa since his accident last year.
    Ferrari wonder why fans hate them.

    Id like to see Massa move to Red Bull and replace Webber ormove to Mclaren.

    I'd love to see Ferrari get investigated after the race and have a penalty applied for blatant race result fixing.

    Renault race fixing went without punishmet, I see Ferrari International Assistance looking the other way on this too.

    Im glad im not a gambler, bet those at the bookies who bet on Massa winning are angry.

    Disappointed for Massa - he's the real winner from this situation in my eyes.

    Alonso has done nothing for himself these past few races than dig a hole for himself, and the Ferrari management have done nothing to help him out of it this weekend either. They had the opportunity to prove that they fight fair, and lost it.

    Having said that you could understand their decision if it weren't for the regulations. Then again 5 points or whatever the difference is between 1st and 2nd it shouldn't have mattered that much, Alonso is still a victory behind Hamilton.

    Cant say im happy with the team orders tbh, dont think anybody would be. Massa made a good job of making it blatently obvious and it was clear from the rear facing onboard camera it showed that massa was only half throttle for the straight after the hairpin.

    Im not bothered who won, im annoyed because the alonso/massa battle would have made good watching imo.

    Disgusting fix!! And Christian Horner is no better, no the main part of the wing doesn't flex, but the winglet that extends back inboard from the endplate clearly flexes alot just like the regulations with Ferrari.

    You know your team orders are completely unfair when even Red Bull are saying so... Not that I think Red Bull would have done the same thing, but after the front wing affair (winggate?) Christian Horner probably should have kept quiet about it.

    Lol, just watching the press conference and Massa couldn't have made it more obvious that it was team orders without actually coming straight out and admitting he was ordered to move.

    If they get a penalty it will punish both drivers not just Alonso. Ferrari should have kept Massa the leader. This has caused an uproar, its not cool! F1 should be about the action and overtaking battles but Alonsos overtake was obviously not a battle lol. The Ferrari interviews so far have been lies trying to disguise the obvious team orders. Despicable!

    Penalise Alonso as he benefited, and ban Ferrari from the teams championship, simples.

    For once I *gulp* agree wit EJ, it's only 5 points between 1st and 2nd so why risk a penalty, uproar from the other teams and a backlash from the fans? Makes absolutely no sense...

    considering the amount of whining ferrari seem to be doing after each race that "rules were broken in another teams favour" they really seem to be slicing off a huge slice of hypocritical pie here.
