Former F1 World Champ Niki Lauda has blasted Ferrari for the Scuderia's blatant use of team orders in Sunday's German GP.
In a coded message, but understood by all, Ferrari informed Felipe Massa that Fernando Alonso was the quicker than him, adding "can you confirm you understand that message?" Shortly after, messaged demonstrated that he did understand and moved over, allowing Alonso to take the lead and the ultimately the victory. Ferrari were later fined by the race stewards, however, in the post-race press conference, Alonso denied any knowledge of team orders being used. "I've never heard a driver talk such bull****," Lauda told the Daily Mail. "He has no character. "This was the most stupid thing I have ever seen from Ferrari. "Why did they do it? They did not need to because the Championship is alive for another eight races. "Why could Massa not have a chance to win, a year since he had the accident that could have cost his life?'
