I know that at the end of the day there will always be team orders. but it was the way it was done so blatantly that made it all more obvious.
I know there was 'fuel saving' in turkey, and I think that to solve this problem, they should just make sure that every car starts the race with enough fuel to finish the race. Then they can't use the 'save fuel' talk to mask it over....surely it is that obvious?
Then any other orders that are given can only mean one thing?
If the team want to issue team orders, then they issue them in the board room before the race. Then its up to the drivers to decide on track. Remember Prost and Senna? mclaren once had a 'who ever gets to the first corner first, wins the race' strategy....only for senna to p*** allover prosts chips and kept passing him. But if it wasn't for him doing that, we wouldn't have had the fiery relationship we had between them, and it lead to awesome racing.
So do away with pit to car radio, give them enough fuel to finish the race 'flat out', and let them bloody race!!
....then we'll see if it really was 'massa's decision' to let alonso through!!
