The team bosses saying they will let their drivers race, that's not entirely true...when the right moment comes, the will pick in favor the team to win BOTH WDC and WCC.
I absolutely understand why did Ferrari did this, the team was trailing a big gap behind RBR and McLaren, they will need the 1-2, and they will get it anyways. But the most point scored driver in Ferrari is FA and he was trailing a massive points behind Vettel, Webber, Button, Hamilton, and just a few points ahead of Rosberg and Kubica. Thus, they need a decision to bring both Ferrari and FA back in the Championship game ASAP.
However, "rules" are clearly written. They could've done it in a more discrete way and have the boss Stefano D directly tell Massa what to do, not Rob Smedley do the dirty work. Plus, given both cars were at P2 and P3 starting the race, shouldn't they have some strategy agreed during the strategy meeting. As if they didn't foresee themselves could score a 1-2 on Sunday. Its more like a random decision being acted, and pushed by FA's radio communication.
The ban of team orders contradicts the "team" sports itself. Its a team sport and there will ALWAYS be team orders. The rule should be scrapped or re-written.
Since the rule is here to stay at the moment. Ferrari should follow and play by the rules.
