I begrudgingly think that the decision is right.

And what now is looking like the beginning of the Ban on Team Orders I also begrudgingly think that is right too.

The thing is Team Orders really never went away, weather its on track in the pitlane or even strategy calls. We've seen it from most of the teams who have battled for the Champ since 02.

Also any sanction against Ferrari would of set a precedent for the future. And the rules would have to of been applied to the letter of law too, If Ferrari lets say got kicked out of the Champ for what happened in Hockenhiem. It would also mean that if driver no2 let driver no1 through at the last race where driver no1 would win the title if ahead of no2 but lose it if behind then by applying the letter of the law they would have to have the same treatment no matter how stupid would be to apply the penalty.

To be honest ive always been against the Ban on Team Orders. It was a knee jerk reaction to what happened in Austria 02 and i believe in what is a team sport too Teams should be allowed tell freely do what they like with the drivers as long as it doesn't or tries to affect the other drivers racing too. i.e Singapore 08.

Most teams have done this with common sense. Only doing it when necessary. Ferrari have always been the exception.
