^.

And it looks like Ferrari gets a $100,000.00 fine.

And also a referral to the WMSC. It's sad to see what happened today, but, it still happens. They grilled the hell out of alonso and massa. More Alonso than Massa. Vettel wanted to leave at one point.

^The team wants a championship. Alonso is now 34 points away from Hamilton, where as Massa is 72 points behind.

Yeah it was very obvious, he almost made it look so intentional he wanted it to be investigated.

What I didnt understand is how it benefited the teamI mean they finished 1,2 either way. And it wasnt like Vettel was on top of Alonso. If its truely a team sport as that being the reason for the passing then the team scores the same amount of points regardless.

Playing devils advocate of course

Man, the answers Massa gave at the post race conference...

Yeah - he isn't one to mince his words. Alonso, on the other hand, tried to skirt the direct response with a bit of "fluff" talk. We haven't seen the end of this little intra-team order episode. I also believe Massa allowed the move to be made in a very deliberate fashion just to show his anger at the team. He could've waited until they reeled in some lapped traffic or run wide under braking to allow an "over-under" pass for Alonso in an effort to make it appear like it was a racing incident. Instead, he just lifted on a straightaway and let the Spainard by. As obvious as the sky is blue.

and Vettel looked at Alonso like GTFO

[pharow]

A lot of tension was in tht room!

[YAN-3]

oh snap, you guys watch the post race conference when Alonso was explaining the overtake and Massa's explanation.... very obvious and to the point from Massa

[Dave]

Poor Massa. He was robbed. "Good lad . . . sorry" said Smedley.

Of course, Kimi pulled over for him when he was in the hunt a couple years ago . . .

[pharow]

yea he has been doing tht. i dnt really thnk he will get use to the car this yr.

[naplesE30]

race was eh at best. Anyone notice how fast Schui has been at the start off the line. He has been having amazing starts but then gives back the positions during the race.

[pharow]

ferrari 1-2! i dnt like the way they do "team orders". Vettle has got to calm down if he wants to ever win a championship. STILL MAD BMW IS NOT IN IT, BUT THEY DID PRETTY GOOD AT LIME ROCK YESTERDAY.

[pharow]

i cant wait to see wht happens

[Dave]

yeah. top 13 were within a second in Q2... looks pretty close but we all know how these races go

could be wet - which would be intersting.

Schumi's little experiment is not working out. He needs to figure out a way to gracefully re-retire.

[E-Thirty]

Sucks for schumi.

Looks like its going to be an exciting race tomorrow.
