Had it ben closer in the points and only a few races left, and the team had worded as a psoosible fault, I doubt it would have been queried.

yes we all know it was a team order but the fact is that order was never given just some information to Massa that Alonso was quicker. In all the championships where team orders are banned this is the line that is taken. They gave Massa some information and then the driver decided to let Alonso through.
Yes this is all discussed before the race and working for the team and wanting to stay with the team he knows full well what they are saying and what he has to do.
If they take action over this then there are plenty of other times this season the same thing has happened lower down the order or teams telling drivers to ease off, save fuel etc.
As long as they can use the line we didn't give a direct order I think they will get away with it
