It appears as though RB's "may the best man win" approach won't be needed next year....

About time, it only made a farce of the sport and idiots of those who actually believed teams followed it. Even Red Bull were guilty of it regardless of what they say.

If that is the case, then the drivers championship should be removed. If it is about team orders, then it is about a team sport and than means the constructors championship is what matters. The problem now is we will not see a natural winner, it will always be a manipulated champion at the end of the season. At least the was a small chance of a natural winner as it stood Undecided

To be fair Matt. Team orders have always exsisted.
The teams will always help the driver they see as a better option for the championship, even back in the early days when teams would litterally give the lead driver his team mates car if he damaged his own. Whats the difference then and now? Red bull gave Vettel, Webbers front wing which was 2 tenths faster, and tried to hide it behind excuses, another case of team orders. Just because they dont come over the radio (ala Ferrari and their less than subtle way) and announce it.
The main thing is now there is no pretense about it. As long as you dont do something like order a driver to crash, or take someone else off, carry on as you have been anyway.

No real surprises, Todt was always going to look out for Ferrari's interests.
