Massa's pit-stop was on Lap 19 yet all of a sudden on Lap 17 he slowed from doing 1:25s to doing 1:26s and then a 1:27. Could it be that he was deliberately holding up Fernando Alonso behind him under instruction from his Ferrari team?
As we all know team orders are banned in F1. The ITV commentary pitcrew accused them of orchestrating a slow-down and to the outside observer this looked to be the case.
Given such a public accusation Ferrari should show ITV and race stewards the telemetry from Massa's car to disprove them. Let's have the answers shown in the next GP programme.
If it was a case of Massa trying to hold Alonso up then one of two things should happen, either;
a) They should scrap the team orders law and let everyone do it
b) They should penalise both Ferraris 25 seconds.
