the 2010 German Grand Prix, Ferrari employed a "coded message" to invoke team orders allowing driver Fernando Alonso to pass Massa and win the race. The parallels between how Michael Schumacher and Alonso won those races was the catalyst of the FIA rescinding the regulation barring team orders because it was deemed difficult to enforce. Todt admitted to La Stampa in December 2010 he should have avoided invoking team orders on Barrichello due to his subsequent belief Michael Schumacher would have won the championship without significant competition. Brawn reiterated Todt's opinion to British magazine Autosport seven years later and stated the negative consequences for Formula One outweighed the positives, calling it "on reflection ... it was a mistake."
