It's better to have no rules than to claim some rules - and then not enforcing them with determination. that undermines the authority and the reputation of the rulemaker. On the other hand - can there be anything more ruined in FIA's reputation and authority?

Ferrari would be willing to pay for every point it gains in the season a 100.000 dollar fee. So where is the deterrence?

i think the rule on prhibiting team orders, should be abandoned. But as long as the rule stands, you have to enforce it, for reason's sake. Else rules do not make sense.
Exactly to every single word you have said. Forget the fine and take all the contructors points away for this race. As Ferrari keep saying that it is all about the team so take their points away. And Alonso needs to stop bitching and moaning ("This is ridiculous" comment today) and waving his hand out of the car every time he thinks someone in front of him is slowing him down. I want to see racing. Massa had equal pace of Alonso through out the race. He had track position number 1. The Red Bull of Vettel was no threat despite the rubbish that the Ferrari PR guys were spouting. Massa deserved the win today but instead he bent over and took it from behind. It wasn't for the team, it was for Alonso. What a joke.
