Because he is a race driver. It never occurred to you that F1 is about racing and not watching Alonso having a walk in the park?!

I am starting to be surprised by the logic of some Ferrari fans.

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

In order to help the TEAM, Felipe was doing exactly what he should have been doing: trying to score the maximum points. The Constructors Championship is what determines the big payday at the end of the season. And as long as Ferrari got a 1-2, that would have happened. It is not Massa's job to help Alonso win the WDC. But since Ferrari had to play Sneaky Pete with the results, the 1-2 could be in jeopardy.

We all know that team orders still exist. But even a child could have found a smoother way to execute this than what we heard on the Ferrari radio transmissions. "Alonso is faster... do you understand?" (wink, wink, nod, nod). And then Massa parks his car to let Alonso pass. Followed by: "Good lad. Sorry."

My father had a saying: if you're going to rob a bank, at least have the good sense to wear a mask. Not only did Ferrari not wear a mask, they dropped their I.D. on the floor of the bank as they were running away. And now people are surprised that they're getting a whack across the knuckles??? Amazing!

What would make me angry is if Massa gets in trouble for this and Alonso gets (another) pass. This slick character has been in the middle of most every major scandal that's hit F1 over the past several years (I bet he was in the room when Maxie was getting his spankings). But he's like John Gotti, the Teflon Don... he plays dumb and then gets off the hook. If Massa is sanctioned during the WMSC meeting, I'll be livid. But it wouldn't surprise me if it goes down with him getting pinched and Alonso walking away with that "I know nothing" #### eating grin on his face.
