Vettel was clearly faster than Webber all weekend I don´t see where are the doubts there were no team orders.

Man, I like Alonso too and I also think he deserves the title but there is no point in trying to find excuses, saying that there were team orders from Red Bull at this GP or that in the last race Kimi screwed Alonso race on purpose those are poor excuses that´s just not true. Vettel won fair and square, I even think that he wasn´t giving 100% at this race controlling his pace and his tyres he could have opened even more the gap.

Its funny how the video was uploaded by a Massa fansite. Instead of being grateful Ferrari have resigned him after the s*** season he had and the fact that Fernando has vouched for him, they b*** and moan about the team not letting him past Alonso in the ONLY race that he has been quicker, but which happens to be a critical one for Fernando's championship. There's a crowd of drivers who'd love that Ferrari seat and these ungrateful bastards moan when their driver is asked to hold position... !

If alonso would admit, that he was slower and there were team orders involved, I don't think that video would be posted at all.

Admit it to whom?
Dont think anyone is questioning the use of team orders. I don't think anyone particularily cares.

As for Massa being faster than Alonso, many things could have been at play. Such as Ferrari sending Alonso out on a setup that maxmised grid position but hurt his race pace. Or the rumours about Ferrari's new exhaust or suspension upgrades only used on Massa. No one knows exactly what was going on.. but just as in Red Bull, its a kinda moot point at this stage.

Mmm. So their driver gets dominated by his teammate all season long, and when in one single race he becomes faster and Fernando does not admit that, they start flocking the internet with messages of protest. That's just great. Let's just all forget the Massa of the first 15 races and focus on this once incident shall we...

What for some reason is not apparent to them, is that if Massa was performing at his maximum, Ferrari would have looked much better in the constructor's championship, and it would have been so tight between them in the driver's championship that team orders would not have been carried out at all!

Its standard on the internet with many classes of fans. Alonso dominates massa; its team orders/has a better car/has full support/massa gets nothing. Massa is faster than Alonso and team orders is used its such a crime. Should be used to it by now surely!

I mean, we all know why team orders were used.We all know Redbull use team orders as well. To be honest, Alonso shouldve just said 'at that phase i was slower, we played the long game. couldve had Massa go for webber but then webber mightve been hiding pace. Just look at the bulls** RB was saying to sebastien vettel about tyres. Couldve easily made it a nightmare scenario'

Completely agree with this. It would be priceless if Alonso wins the WC at Brazil to see the crowd´s reaction.

A big upturn in form, Brazil coming up... not inconceivable that Massa will again have to give up a position (maybe a win again?!) so his team-mate can win the title like in 2007.

they never are gone to say that. Maybe if someone are angry with his team.

The only different between Massa and Webber, was that Massa recieve team order by radio. Webber, before sitting down his car.
