Ferrari welcomes FIA verdict

Ferrari, for several weeks, have shown their confidence in the decisions of the World Motor Sport Council, requested by the stewards of the German Grand Prix, who had already sanctioned the Team $100 fine. Despite the ban on instructions in F1, Ferrari, which had indirectly indicated to Felipe Massa to let pass Fernando Alonso at Hockenheim, did not see his sanction increased.

« After a thorough analysis of all reports, declarations and documents submitted, the Judging Body decided to confirm the decision of the Stewards, to impose a fine of $100 for infringement of Article 000 of the Sporting Regulations and to ?impose payment of costs incurred by the FIA », Indicates the latter, which confirms the initial sanction.

On the other hand, the FIA ​​affirms that it wants to change article 39.1 of its sporting regulations, after many Formula 1 players having announced this? “hypocrisy” of the ban on team instructions. Indeed, many teams can favor one or the other of their driver without going through a direct instruction. “ The Judging Body also noted that Article 39.1 of the Sporting Regulations should be revised and decided to refer this matter to the Formula One Sporting Working Group », Indicates the FIA.

For its part, the Scuderia can only welcome this verdict positively. “ Ferrari has taken note of the decision of the FIA ​​World Council, following the German Grand Prix, and wishes to express its satisfaction with the Council's proposal to review article 39.1 of the Formula 1 regulations, in light of what was revealed during discussions in recent days »
