Michael Schumacher concedes there are "nicer" ways to implement team orders than how Ferrari did it in Germany but as long as you win the title, that's what it's all about.
Ferrari brought upon themselves the wrath of the German GP stewards - and a $100,000 fine, which they will not appeal - when they had Felipe Massa move aside to allow his team-mate Fernando Alonso to take the victory on Sunday.
It was reminiscent of the days of old when Schumacher drove for the Italian marque, winning title after title, at times at the expense of his team-mate.
And although the German admits there are "nicer" to go about implementing team orderst, "in principle I fully accept" them.
"There is only one target: winning the title," said the seven-time World Champ.
"Only one can win the World Championship and by the end of the year if you think you could have lost the Championship by exactly those points, you will ask yourself - and all the fans, the TV, the journalists and so on will ask - why do you do so?"
But as the Telegraph's Mike Norrish put it: 'Here's an easy way to decide debates about sporting morality. 1. See which side Michael Schumacher's on. 2. Take the other side. Rarely will you be in the wrong.'
