Around the lap number 45 Fernando was in the second place, behind Massa, Fernando was being followed by Vettel who had shortened the distance and was reaching him. That was when Felipe received the message on the radio "ok, so... Fernando is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?". Felipe certainly understood the message, as everybody who heard it did, and it made me remind of the times when Rubens Barichello and Michael Schumacher were the Ferrari duo, and Barrichello received that kind of messages so many times that i can't count them with my fingers, of course it is because Schumacher was always in the run for the title, so the team supported him the most in those cases, even when it costed Rubens several victories or podium appearances.
Well the same thing happened this past sunday (yesterday) Fernando has gathered more pints during the championship than Felipe, so he is the most important candidate to reach th head of the ranking; In the 49th lap Felipe let Fernando get the first place. This team order costed ferrari a fine of US$ 100.000, even when many people espected other kind of punishment.
After that race the standings are:
