In the Hungarian gp vetel slowed down everyone so that webber could stay in front. Wasn't that team orders and wouldn't that possibly change the race result? If Ferrari is punished so should be red bull. I can hardly think how seb was so lost that he couldn't even stay clos to webber during the sc period. It just shows how people love to crtisize Ferrari and how they are jealous of ferrari.

@amishasdf "It just shows how people love to crtisize Ferrari and how they are jealous of ferrari." This is nonsense. Had it been McLaren switching Button and Hamilton, or Red Bull switching Webber and Vettel, I would have said the same thing. Besides, why would I be jealous of them? If I were jealous of any team (which I'm not), it would be Red Bull, since they have a faster car than Ferrari and are ahead of Ferrari in both championships.

There is so much to talk about. The Shumacher Barrichello incident , vetels drive through , vetel entering so late into the pits during the sc period. Make a video and share your views. Also the summer break has arrived.

@amishasdf Well, text with pictures and video clips. Perhaps some sound in the background, but until I can repair or replace my broken headset, I have no decent way of recording my voice :( .

Petrov ahead of me, this is ridiculous, Put renault´s engineers on the radio, I´ll talk them to let me pass.

Ferrari Engineers: Alonso is faster than Petrov

Renault Engineers: This is not your fake team anymore, Alonso - you have to pass on the track.

Alonso: Mimimi, I can´t do this I don´t have the habilities to pass on the track. Please let me pass. I´ll pay you a dinner...

HAHA...

The real team, with real drivers won the 2010 Championship. The Gods of F-1 made justice on this sunday.

If you have 2 footballers. One, is one on one with the keeper and the other is in a better postion to score to win the game and the championship you would expect the player to pass the ball for the good of the team.

In this case one team member passed not a ball but the victory to his better placed (in the championship) team mate.

It tactics not cheating, ferrari have done nothing wrong, the rules should allow team orders, after all they are one team aren't they?

[MegaForceish]

@KingsIndianCR Yeaah true personally i don't think they should've done it then go and say they wern't team orders !?! if i knew what he men't when i was watching obviously they were i don't like the fact they also got fined instead of removal of the points as in many times in sport teams would actually rather get fined than points because it has a bigger affect. He should not have done it let it to massa to decide if massa individually let him through "i have no problem" the fact he was told....

[KingsIndianCR]

@MegaForceish Although I prefer the 'moral' way, I completely understand the 'mathematical/business' way, especially later in the season. The problem that I have is partly the fact that they knowingly broke a rule (however flawed that rule may be), and partly the way they did it (basically, sticking two fingers up at the fans). Then again, if the FIA legislated on "the way they did it", that'd compromise the 'sporting' element, so, like you say, it is difficult.

[MegaForceish]

@KingsIndianCR Its difficult you could see this the morale way: That it's wrong to tell massa to let alonso through massa has worked hard for that position he has had to fight for it and deserves his 1st place on the podium OR you could see it in the Mathmatical & business way:Massa was very unlikey to win the championship due to his poor starts alonso was very much a contender and every point counts so the mathmatical and business wise thing to do is let him trhough. then again its a chmpinship

@KingsIndianCR but it wasn't. it was ferrari. in turkey the redbull drivers colided while fighting for the lead,  in the same gp both macca drivers had a fight as well....

i suppose fia appointed stewards and the motorsport council is also jealous of ferrari?.....

[turboturtle2002]

@amishasdf wrong. if you did any research you'd know that vettel made a mistake as there is a rule about maximum distance to the pace car or other competitors (exactly, so one driver cannot slow the field down for the benefit of his teammate) and was penalised for it. that in turn destroyed any hopes of him winning. rbr tie their future with vettel not webber, and as seb is a hot property they have to keep him happy.
