Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo is eager for the FIA to change the rules regarding the use of team orders in Formula One.
Team orders were banned in the wake of Austrian 2002 when Rubens Barrichello blatantly moved aside for Michael Schumacher, earning jeers from the crowd and worldwide condemnation.
However, just because they are banned that doesn't mean they are not used.
In Germany this season Heikki Kovalainen eased aside to allow his faster team-mate Lewis Hamilton to move up a position while in China Kimi Raikkonen did the same for Felipe Massa.
As a result di Montezemolo has admitted that he would like to talk with FIA president Max Mosley about changing the rules.
"I'll talk about it with Mosley, we need to get rid of this hypocrisy," di Montezemolo told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"The important thing is not to damage others. Besides that, team work, in a team sport, is one of the best things. Think of a cyclist leading the sprint for another."
