GP Germany - 07/25/2010

Elizabeth Hughes said:Barrichello always acted like he’d been cheated, whether he actually was or not—not that it's my business, but I don't recall him making public scenes quite like the two guys we see today.

To be clear, I’m not questioning team orders. What’s questionable is the sheer stupidity of how the Ferrari duo behaved once the race was over. 🙄

Honestly, watching them is pure entertainment for me. 😍 😁 And here I am, actually rooting for them. 😬

Man, they’ve spent the entire season acting like absolute idiots out on the track, so it’s kind of a nice change of pace to see them save all that stupidity for the post-race cooldown. 😬

And now they really need to slap them with a penalty for this. Especially Fernando... he’s the one who needs it most.

And because those two morons couldn't get it together, one thing is certain—Ferrari is going to take the hit for it.

man, back in the glory days 🙏🙏

plus, we still haven't heard the official word from the World motorsport Council regarding this matter.😉

Industrial espionage would probably be better described as Mosley's latest kiss off to McLaren 🤣 🤣, especially since Renault was found guilty in the McM spying scandal yet the fine ended up being exactly zero dollars 😂 😂....We really ought to take a long, hard look at the FIA's service menu..☕

By the way... honestly, seeing how clumsily Ferrari handled this makes me think such screw-ups were probably just standard operating procedure at their headquarters; I mean, listening to Massa call Ferrari a "company" today while he sent a radio message that even a half-witted customer of slava Raškaj wtf 😲 WTF??

Alright... Fernando... is just faster... than you.

Can you confirm you understood that?

Ahahaha 😂😂😂

Forza Ferrari 😬

And there he goes 🤣 I honestly suspect Massa let him pass on purpose, just to make it look obvious 😬 jadan Bejbi, what a joke 😳

Elizabeth Hughes said:It’s all just too transparent. It’s all just one big violation after another. Rules are rules. But I guess when you decide to ignore them, you just start making up whatever convenient little fairy tales suit your narrative. It’s a joke. You end up with a No2 driver acting like a glorified errand boy, dodging every real question thrown his way and playing the part of some offended socialite at a press conference.

To be honest, rule-breaking like this has been going on for a long, long time... you could see it most clearly back during the Schumacher era at Ferrari. But even then, we weren't dealing with these kinds of moronic, theatrical displays like the Alonso-Massa stunt they pulled at today's press conference. 🙄

Exactly. Just more proof that those guys in Italy are shady and disorganized, like I mentioned earlier. 🤦

Poor Felipe, man. 😢

They aren't being lazy or anything, they just finished giving poor Felipe a little pep talk, baby. 🙏 🤣

Man, I actually feel bad for baby 😢😢

Ryan Gomez4 said:Alright, I want an honest answer from everyone who thinks this kind of rule-breaking is fine: do you actually find races more interesting when they play like this, or do you prefer it when teammates act like Webber and Vettel?

And this part was pretty entertaining too.

All that nonsense is exactly what makes Formula 1 worth watching.

I honestly had a good laugh when they gave those orders to Mass to just let him through.😁

let's go Lonzo, let's go! 🙏🙏🙏

hollowgull5 said:Ferrari's own Fernando Alonso is basically saying he doesn't feel bad at all about how he snatched that US Grand Prix victory...

what a total loser 🤮

Why on earth should he be embarrassed?

He was faster during practice.
He was half a second faster in qualifying, which is huge for a lap this short.
And he was faster during the race, too—he just made the smart call to back off once he saw how much resistance Massa was giving him. Honestly, he probably should have kept pushing and let things go south. If Felipe can't figure out his job, someone clearly needs to sit him down and explain it to him.

Goodness me... what a vivid flashback to a few years back when they were operating the MS/RB... 😁👎

So, they just posted this over on Facebook F1racing.com.hr:

Just for some weird trivia:
2007 - Alonso moves to McLaren, and the team ends up before the World motorsport Council.
2009 - Alonso is at Renault, and the team faces the World motorsport Council because of a rigged race.
2010 - Alonso joins Ferrari, and the team gets summoned before the World motorsport Council.

😍

What a joke 🙏

What a driver 🙏

What a squad 🙏

We might as well stop trying to win anything as long as that crybaby is in charge.

If he was faster during the race
then why didn't he just blast past Massa instead of letting that guy just hold him up...😕

Man, stop whining...😉

Kudos to Alonso and Ferrari.

It’s not right—let them have their say, I suppose—but maybe everyone does it, just nobody acts this incredibly rude and insulting. Now they can deal with the fallout. I’m not necessarily expecting some massive hammer to drop from the World motorsport Council, but the atmosphere and relationships within the team are going to be completely trashed because of everything that went down today.

What a disaster... 🤮

If he’s actually got the pace, then let him make the move!
Well, if only he had the capability... 🙄
