Do you want an emotionally unstable Massa? Because that's how you get an emotionally unstable Massa.
From the radio "I am no longer a serverent". Yeah Massa ended up holding off Bottas (which helped my Castrol team greatly!), so nice job guys.
Edit: F1 Fanatic commenter Ryan pretty much summed up my feelings on the team orders:
"This is not a simple debate about disobeying team orders. Had the first message been "Bottas has newer tyres, let him through", I don't think we would even be having this debate. But the engineer said "Bottas is faster than you".
Knowing the history, and trying to make a joke of one of the main reasons Massa decided to leave Ferrari, is naive at best and simply stupid at worst. The reason people feel the need to defend Massa, is because that message was incredibly disrespectful. Your team should be there to support you, not publicly make a mockery of you.
Telling a competitive driver that their team-mate is faster than him without justification is like saying "you cant drive as fast / you're not as good as your team-mate". Any driver worth his salt will see that as a challenge and attempt to prove himself. This is psychology 101. Of course he wasn't going to let him through after that.
Massa didn't cost Williams points today, that engineer did. If I ran that team all blame would be placed publicly on his (the engineer's) shoulders, so he could know what it's like to be made a mockery of publicly."

Yeah I pretty much yelled "Why would you say that!?" at the tv. At least phrase it a different way.

Bottas could have gotten to Button, but i dont think he would have been able to pass him. So did massa, and the results for the team would have been exactly the same.

But we'll never know for certain will we? Bottas might not have been able to pass Button but we KNOW Massa couldn't even catch him...

Thats right, im not a fan of team orders, they just cause these things.
Im not agreeing on what Massa did, the team has the data to prove Bottas was faster than Felipe.

Kudos to whoever decided to run the Williamses super frugal for the entire race so they could turn the engines up to 11 and gain five places in the final laps both finish with 20 kilos of unused fuel sloshing around.

It's like if they suddenly thought about it being a great idea to pull an April's Fools joke on a Vietnam vet by dressing up as Viet Cong fighters, raiding his room and starting shooting and screaming.

I was really surprised to hear the order but I can't blame them. Massa held him up throughout the entire race. I bet Bottas was pissed.

I was thinking the same thing every time they showed those fuel level graphics. We know the power unit can put the power down and is reliable if faulty sensors or cheap, plastic wrapping doesn't shut it down — engineers must have seen something they didn't like.
