In 2010, Ferrari had a strong start to the season with Fernando Alonso winning the opening round in Bahrain. However, they soon found themselves playing catch-up to the dominant Red Bull and McLaren teams. They had a mid-season revival, with Alonso and teammate Felipe Massa scoring wins and podiums, but controversy struck at the German Grand Prix in Hockenheim when the team issued team orders for Massa to move over and let Alonso pass, leading to a widespread backlash. The team missed out on the constructors' championship and despite entering the final race as the favorite, Alonso was beaten to the drivers' title by Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel.
