Ferrari 'takes note' of FIA's decision
Ferrari has acknowledged Formula 1 governing body the FIA's decision not to impose a further sanction following its Wednesday court hearing in Paris relating to the team orders row of July's German Grand Prix. Despite now wishing to focus its attentions on the upcoming home race at Monza, it does note that all teams will be discussing the team orders regulation.
With Felipe Massa having been indirectly instructed to yield to team-mate and eventual winner Fernando Alonso at Hockenheim, it is believed that a possible time penalty for the Spaniard was discussed on Wednesday although the FIA eventually took the decision not to issue a further punishment on top of the 100,000-dollar fine which was handed out on the evening after the race.
Ferrari has issued the following statement, with team orders having been banned in Formula 1 since the start of the 2003 season:
'Ferrari has taken note of the decision of the FIA World Council, relating to the outcome of this year’s German Grand Prix and wishes to express its appreciation of the Council’s proposal to review article 39.1 of the Formula 1 Sporting Regulations, in light of what emerged during today’s discussions.
Now, all the team’s efforts will be focussed on the next event on track, when the Italian Grand Prix takes place at Monza this weekend.'
