Formula 1 governing body the FIA has confirmed that Wednesday 8 September will be the day Ferrari goes before the World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) in Paris following its contravening of the team orders regulation in the German Grand Prix.
With it having been decided by race stewards that Felipe Massa yielded the race lead to team-mate Fernando Alonso at Hockenheim, Ferrari was handed a fine of 100,000 dollars (just under 63,000 pounds) on race day evening – a punishment the team chose not to appeal.
However, with the incident having broken Article 39.1 of the international sporting code, the FIA also announced that the matter would also go before its World Council, with the race result – Ferrari’s second 1-2 finish of the season - standing for the time being.
‘The FIA President (Jean Todt) has decided, in conformity with the new rules of disciplinary procedure adopted at his initiative on 11 March 2010, to submit the case to the judging body of the World Motor Sport Council,’ reads an official Monday statement from the FIA.
