What matters for WDC/WCC points, is who makes it to the chequered flag first (without track postion penalty/DSQ and even if track positions between team mates are swapped further to team orders).

It's almost as if Masi had a change of conscience. His pockets were clearly being lined or he was being wined and dines by MB as it appears based on radio messages he and Wolff were long time buddies and when Wolff said no 'safety car' Masi obliged even though it was wrong. Beyond that, Masi seemed to let many penalties against Ham go to the wayside. Why? Why could Ham cut the corner in AD or have 28 track violations in Bahrain without even a second thought. I think he finally did the right thing to let them shoot it out on the last lap. The much faster car vs the much faster driver, and the latter won. Again, Crashgate was a known cheating scandal covered up by the FIA...this was nothing like that and all above board.
