There is a culture of team orders in F1 that has gone too far and I think needs to be changed. The only way I can see of doing this is to punish teams when they break the rules.

The culture of team orders has gone on as long as F1 has been around. Perhaps you are watching the wrong form of motor racing if you can't stand team orders.

To begin enforcing the rule now leads to everyone coming up with a conspiracy theory on virtually every radio conversation between the pit and the driver. We'll have all sorts of protests and we'll see even more race results decided weeks or months after races are over.

There are only 2 options concerning team orders:
1. Allow each team to decide if a team order is in its best interest as it sees fit just like any other corporation.
2. Allow each team to run 1 car. Team orders become impossible.

BTW - your last paragraph makes me question if you are really concerned about team orders or just Ferrari bashing.
