Unbelievable. It's unthinkable that they would risk a driver's life like that - or a driver would willingly risk his life on team orders. Yes, modern F1 cars are very safe, but the risk of injury/death is still there. Wow....that's the pinnacle of stupidity...F1 is probably the laughing stock of the motorsports world now. I support Piquet's decision to come out, so it never happens again.

This is the first time a driver has crashed on team orders that I know of. Drivers have crashed in to other drivers before, like Ayrton Senna did to Alain Prost in 1989 at Suzuka and the Schumacher/Hill/Villenueve incidents, but this just takes the cake.
