I thought team orders were now allowable. Perhaps you're saying it was a joke when it was illegal.
I think this is a good thing too, because it's a clarification of what one move means. The article mentions how people were critical of Schumacher's driving in Monza against Hamilton, that he drove to the limit of the regulations. I find that a strange criticism, because any driver who isn't driving to the limit of the regulations to defend a position shouldn't be in the car imo. What this does is clarify what the limit is.
I also sense an indirect reference to Vettel's Japan start against Button. I thought what he did was fine. He put Button in a position where Button had to decide between crashing, going onto the grass or lifting off.
The thing that I think is a joke is the reprimand system. It seems far too unclear. I think a points system makes more sense, where a driver can miss a race through accumulating bad driving. The problem with imposing a race ban system, though, is commercial. Imagine Vettel missing the German GP, Hamilton missing the British GP or Alonso missing the Spanish GP. The organisers would lose a lot of money, and I don't know if it would be good for the sport's image. They need to clarify the penalty system more first.
