You though ask f1 fans and 99% of them will say that yes it was a form of coded team orders, even the ferrari fans can't deny it  Look at the scripted responses from the drivers after the race..
Just remember that the fans bring in the revenue, make them lose interest and the sport suffers |
To be honest the fans don't bring in any money. All the money comes from race fees, advertising round the track and then money from the paddock club of celebs.
The fans pay money back to the cuircuit, most of which are half full this season. IF a circuit makes any money then 10% has to go back to FOM.
Well you and me and anyone who isn't dead can see this was team orders, but you can also see how they never actually told Massa to move over just told him the car behind was quicker. As such it will be a driver decision. I've seen this in other championships where team orders are banned and all the time it is a "driver decision" and not a team order.
