What a farce!Deliberately getting Massa & penalty to move Alonso up & onto clean side of the track.Although technically not illegal in my humble opinion they should have been disqualified for basically cheating...bet that rule gets changed pretty quickly!It was also the worse race in the season to pull a stunt like that considering the farce that was the last U.S F1 race...big danger of the yanks not bothering to watch again.
Still FIA = Ferrari IS Allowed

They pulled a similar stunt in 2010 when Alonso led a controversial one-two for Ferrari in the German GP which got Ferrari fined for seeming to instruct Massa to let him past.

why do peoples moan so much about these sort of tactics these days. look at senna and prost, schumacher and hill, if you want to win take out the other driver. changing a gearbox......kids stuff. what ferrari should have done was get massa to crash into vettel, still, it might happen in brazilBigGrin

Yes yes yes I know it goes on & has done for years ,but to blatantly say ..this is what we are going to do-what are you going to do about it is just flipping the bird at the governing bodies,the fans & makes a complete mockery of the qualifying process,you might as well have all the drivers get together & have a game of eenie,meenie,miney ,mo...but no doubt a
certain teams drivers would find a way round that as well!

You need every advantage you can get,it's not as bad as Red Bull telling the Toro Rossos to move out the way in Abu Dhabi or pitting Webber early.

I just really hope massa one day turns around and says "NO!" It was legal what they did but very unsportsmanlike I think. It would have been hilarious if another team did it after Ferrari and they both ended up back on the left side! Lol.
