Felipe Massa's refusal to obey an order from the Williams pitwall to let team-mate Valtteri Bottas past in the closing stages of the Malaysian Grand Prix earned him plenty of sympathy and the team a huge amount of criticism.
But this was very different from what Massa experienced at Ferrari, where there was a driver with clear number-one status no matter what the circumstances.
The problem is, if a driver doesn't respect team orders, the team is sacrificing potential points and there can be very serious consequences in terms of results not just in one race, but for the whole year.
