Team orders in Formula One have existed since the creation of the world championship in 1950, still exist, as was shown yesterday at the German Grand Prix, and will remain, as will be corroborated in future, despite from the 2003 season are officially banned.
Beyond that many of us disappointed, the team orders have been served since the beginning of the world championship of Formula One to promote the interests of the teams in order win or a race or the final title.
In the early years of global shared even cars and in case of failure of one of them, the pilot could retire rather than get into the car of a colleague and at the end of the test points were shared.

We have highlighted in several post, causing displeasure in any pilot having to give your car to any partner ... but the system worked well, and by signing a contract with a wise pilot Scuderia maybe I should give up a victory to succeed her partner.
In the Grand Prix of Great Britain in 1957, played in the circuit of Aintree, Liverpool, there was the historical fact of the first victory of a British car (Vamwall), driven not by one but by two British pilots.
Stirling Moss, who had achieved first place in the formation of departure, had to retire on lap 51 of the 90 that comprised the race by an engine problem and took the car from his compatriot Tony Brooks, who crossed the finish line in first position.

The crash of Lorenzo Bandini (Ferrari) and Graham Hill (BRM) in the Grand Prix of Mexico in 1964 that resulted in the removal of the second and lost the world title for the benefit of Britain's John Surtees Ferrari, was then considered by many as a consequence, extreme team orders.
The ban on team orders came at the start of the 2003 season, after two cases of difficult to substantiate, the responsibility fell on the current president of the International Automobile Federation (FIA), Frenchman Jean Todt, then sporting director of Ferrari.
In the Grand Prix of Austria in 2002, sixth round of the championship and had four wins from German Michael Schumacher. Todt ordered Rubens Barrichello to let go to Germany to further strengthen its leading position in the world. Barrichello dominated
the race and only stopped a few meters from the finish line to prove that victory was theirs and make way for Schumacher, who did not need the victory to be world champion.
was the beginning of an era extremely unpleasant for the F1, where the Ferrari driver was limited to looking after the backs of the almighty Schumacher, racing in spectacles becoming monotonous.
That same year in the United States Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and awarded the title, Michael Schumacher wanted to return him to victory in Austria and let Barrichello win in the last moment.
These two races in a season dominated from start to finish for Ferrari, who won 15 of the 17 races, of which Schumacher won eleven, led the FIA \u200b\u200bto ban team orders.
However, despite the ban in 2007, the Brazilian Grand Prix, the final race of the season, Felipe Massa and had to leave his first since his teammate Kimi Raikkonen, who thanks to this won the world championship with a point ahead of Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) and Fernando Alonso (McLaren).
The following season was Raikkonen who had to pass Massa at the China Grand Prix, the penultimate global test, for this to finish second behind Hamilton. However, two weeks after Brazil lost the World Cup before his audience at the final corner of his Grand Prix.
The score difference between Alonso and Massa, 98 through 67, before the race and the fact that Fernando Alonso was fastest on Friday, Saturday and Sunday's race, forcing Ferrari to ask the Brazilian English ceded his post, in the view that this would continue to fight for the championship.
If Massa was in front of the race was because the German Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull) locked him up against the wall at the exit and left free path.
The race director Charlie Whiting, who already took its toll on the Grand Prix of Great Britain to Fernando Alonso for his advancement to Poland's Robert Kubica (Renault), held in Valencia after the race had been manipulated , sent a report to the stewards, who sanctioned the $ 100,000 Ferrari.
here to enter the technical considerations, as to the face of sport is arguably the issue of whether or not there should be orders from the pitwall ... the majority of fans we want the fight wheel to wheel not maneuvers orchestrated in advance, but definitely interesting of the F1 fans do not go hand in hand with the interests of the teams, drivers and leadership in general.
Now the case rests with the FIA \u200b\u200bWorld Council, chaired by the cause of the ban on team orders, Jean Todt (yes, yes, the one who ordered Rubens braking on the finish line) , whose decision will not in any event, that team orders continue to give more or less discretion on the part of the teams.
