The FIA investigation is apparently over and according to their judgement, it was not illegitimate teamorder.
You can read the FIA press release here.
I personally think it's a reasonable decision because I didn't see anything that McLaren did in the same light of what Ferrari did in a race like Austria 2002, and not even on the same page with what McLaren did (for whatever reason) in Australia 98. In those races, the teams apparently actively ordered/forced/whatever the drivers to
change their positions to achieve a desired outcome.
What they did here, in my opinion, was that they originally had both drivers on different strategies (Ron Dennis has been quoted saying Hamilton originally had more fuel on board to enable a one-stop strategy, in consideration of a possible safety car phase), which enabled Alonso to form the gap he did, and at some point they apparently told both drivers to slow down.
I think if that were to be team order you'd have to punish any team that a) sends its drivers into the races with two different strategies ("If one driver has the inferior strategy, the team robs him of the opportunity to win the race!") and/or b) at some point orders drivers to slow down and avoid taking any unnecessary risks ("If they tell them to slow down they influence the race result"). To me, that would be ridiculous, but it's not like everything that ever happened in F1 must have been reasonable.
I'm positively surprised FIA apparently judged things on face value instead of creating a big scene so that British Hamilton-hypers (or certain German people who will never like Ron Dennis because of his Anti-Ferrari sentiments
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
) could say
"We told you so".
