They've been doing planned finishes since the beginning of Formula 1, read any of the articles by Phil Hill, etc and you can see that. I think it's a shame though that now they are making rules about all this stuff. What happened to race car drivers that would race their hardest, even against their teammate, no matter what the boss back in the pits said. It seems to me that all the legends of auto racing had this mentality, so is conforming to what the team says really going to make you a better racer. Granted it may help you keep your job, but people respect when you go out and do your best. It's just a shame that these modern guys have lost their souls to the point that rules have to be put in place to help return them. Do you think Juan Manuel Fangio would have pulled over and let Michael Schumacher drive by? What about Gilles Villeneuve? No chance in hell.
