F1. Alonso Top Pole,
- Thread starter nando
- Start date
Close, but not quite! Let's see how he does tomorrow.
Sorry Nando, but 'team orders' is against the rules now.
I have to admit though, I really don't like Alonso at all, he's like a petulent little child, and I really don't like Ferrari either (always trying to cheat and complaining about other teams and then go screaming to the officials when ever they lose) so with those two together, I'm not al all surprised by what happened today.
That was a very hollow victory as far as I'm concerned and it has dragged F1 back down into the gutter again.
If Alonso was faster than Massa then he should have overtaken him - simple.

You are right Nando, of course. I think it's a big problem for all 'big-money' sport these days and it's shame.
Team orders suck and are against the rules now but there is no way to stop them, and can help team win the championship, as Alonso was ahead of Massa in the championship it pornbably makes sense for Ferrari if Alonso won. Wasn't JB asked to "conserve fuel" for a few laps allowing LH to win earlier this year (Turkey I think)? And we've all heard how everything is hunky dory at Red Bull.
Still, I don't like Alonso. IMO he lacks the self confidence to compete against his team-mates on equal terms. I feel for FM. who has done excellent work for Ferrari in recent years, only to be rewarded by being demoted to number 2

Ferrari have been fined $100k.

Yes, I just spotted this here:

Not a lot of money for them but at least it sends out a clear message...
... the message being: 'if you want to break the rules and can afford the fine, then go ahead because the results will still stand'
