Very clever from the strategy team at Ferrari - wish I'd thought of that. The right thing to do and done within the rules. This also helps them in the Constructors which is worth about £80m to first and £50m to second.
Unless they change the rules this is open to anyone - as Ian said, RB did it for Vettel, allowing them to make the crucial change that gave him the edge - longer gear ratios.
Massa will not do anything and there will be no change in tension in the team, He is paid as No.2 and his contract says he is No.2 If that's what you're employed to do, that's what you do.
