Is F1 degenerating into a farce ?

The Ferrari fiasco this weekend at Hockenhiem has spoiled my recent enjoyment of F1, should Ferrari be banned for bringing F1 into disrepute and highlighting that regardless of what F1 says there is still a huge amount of cheating going on? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

They should have been forced to lose positions or points, not £ or $.

It's the same old position when Ferrari are concerned with any breach, they always get looked after!

I agree F1 should have less German drivers! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

I really enjoyed Clarkson on Senna on TG last night - never realised quite how much skill the drivers required in those days compared to now, the way the cars jumped around compared to the sterile beasts they have to drive now! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I enjoyed TG last night too, really thought they was going to spoil the tribute by showing the crash, but they didn't (not that i saw anyway)

Didn't see the GP yesterday (or any other days TBH), what happened?

I Wonder if Massa chief tech is not in a bit of trouble today? It seemed so obvious that it was team orders and the "sorry" afterwards was just the icing on the cake!

In a way I feel sorry for Massa but at the same time I think massa needs to grow some balls and not accept a contract were he is blatantly the 2nd driver.... RRS TDV8 HSE 2007- JAVA Black/Black interior,

Nick I agree, and no they didn't show the crash (and not on iPlayer either because that was how I watched it) - The Stars in a reasonably priced car was brilliant too! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Basically Massa was leading, Rob Smedley (Massa's engineer) came over the radio and said 'Olonso is faster than you - do you understand'. Then 3/4 corners later Massa let off and let Alonso pass him - then Smedley was back on the radio saying 'well done' and 'sorry'

Team orders are banned within F1 so and Ferrari got caught

As a life long F1 fan I found Ferrari's team orders
extremely distasteful. IMHO there is no excuse, If Alonso
didn't have the skill to pass Massa by himself then that's
just tough luck on him! For once (and it doesn't happen often)
I totally agree with Eddie Jordans take on the whole thing.
Ferrari should hang their heads in shame for robbing the fans
of what they pay good money to see - A RACE!! Twisted Evil Twisted Evil
The FIA fine of (US)$100,000 is a joke! Evil or Very Mad This is nothing to Ferrari!
But hey..... Is it any surprise.... Not to anyone that knows F1. The FIA has
always favoured Ferrari and now that John Todt (the Ex-Ferrari team boss) is
president of the FIA did any of us think things would change for the better!! Rolling Eyes

Ferrari are such an important part of F1 history that it is very sad that the one team everyone
that loves F1 WANTS to admire is the one team that many FANS can do nothing but DESPISE and it's
all Ferraris own doing!
