– and article 151 c) of the International Sporting Code (“Any unfair process or maneuver likely to harm the sincerity of competitions or the interests of motorsport will be considered an offense (…)).

In view of the elements in their possession, the Stewards decided to impose a fine of $100.000 on Scuderia Ferrari and to submit the file to the FIA ​​World Motor Sport Council.

On the basis of this decision and the investigation report, and following receipt of the report transmitted by the Sporting Stewards to the FIA, the President of the FIA ​​decided, in accordance with the new rules of disciplinary procedure adopted on his initiative on 11 March 2010, to refer the decision to the World Motor Sport Council.
