This feeling has prevailed for several years, but was brought to a head by the reinstatement of the Ferraris of Eddie Irvine and Michael Schumacher after they were disqualified from last season's Malaysian Grand Prix. "  <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/916099.stm" target="_blank">Ron and FW statements</a>And it is hard to believe that Ferrari have been using team orders for seven years now, but slightly easier to believe that both the FIA and Ecclestone have done nothing about it - also for seven years. But this is a case of pure double standards. Why? Read on. At the Australian Grand Prix in 1998, David Coulthard slowed down to let his team-mate Mika Hakkinen past on the penultimate lap of the race. Afterwards, there was uproar from both the fans and the FIA, who swiftly issued McLaren with a warning not to do it again. They didn't, but Ferrari marched on with their team orders throughout the year, which continue to this day. So if this isn't a case of double standards by Ecclestone and the FIA, then we don't know what is! <a href="http://uk.geocities.com/Schumacher_truth/news.htm" target="_blank">Double standards</a></blockquote>
