Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Monaco - Spolier

[Hans E. Hansen (FList]

According to this week's Autoweek, this is a non-event.  FIA
said all is well.  Specifically, it's OK for a team to tell 2 cars up
front to "hold station" at a reduced pace to help insure reliability
and prevent a possible accident.

I read a headline to the effect of "McLaren being investigated
for team orders" before I actually watched the race on TiVo,
so I watched with that in mind.  I couldn't see any issues,
personally.

Hans.
