A controversial team order rule in Formula One has been scrapped again from next season onwards, the ruling body FIA said on Friday.
FIA said in a statement that its World Motor Sport Council decided to do away with the rule after eight years but that "teams will be reminded that any actions liable to bring the sport into disrepute" can be sanctioned.
The team order was introduced after Ferrari told Rubens Barrichello at a 2002 race to let Michael Schumacher pass.
A similar incident occurred this year in thinly disguised fashion when Felipe Massa was told that Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso was faster and Massa passed for victory. Ferrari were fined 100,000 dollars over the incidents.
The team order rule was not popular because many in the sport argued the drivers are not only driving for the title but are part of their respective teams.

The problem was how do you define team order and what can teams do and can't do. MS passing RB in 2002 was not necessary, he won the championship by miles. The fastest driver with the fastest car for the race should win it. The problem is when you are racing, you're not racing for yourself but for a team. You're employed by a team and not yourself.
