I agree that it is is very difficult to police because depending on circumstances teams may compromise the "2nd" driver's performances somehow outside of the blatant flouting of the rules by Ferrari.
That said I don't have a problem with team orders being banned as like any rule the teams will find their own ways of bending them which is part of the challenge for them.
TBH I like what I see in the battle between Webber and Vettel because we are seeing a "2nd" driver giving the team the finger and doing his best to win rather that complacently sitting back and letting the other driver through. IMHO that should be encouraged and if there are ways of doing that through penalties for team orders then I'm all for it. The whole point is seeing racing, not a bloody procession in the order that team bosses dictate.
