Ferrari fined $100,000 but result stands

Aricle taken from the BBC

Ferrari have been fined $100,000 for breaching sporting regulations after appearing to implement team orders during the German Prix.

The Italian team has also been referred to the sport’s governing body, the FIA, after Felipe Massa slowed down to allow team-mate Fernando Alonso past to win.

However the result of the race, won by Alonso from Massa, is unaffected.

Ferrari continued to insist the incident was “a driver decision” and no instructions were given to Massa.

Team communications director Luca Colajanni said: “We didn’t give any instruction at all. I don’t think anything wrong has been done, or regulation breached.”

Colajanni added: “Fernando was slightly quicker at that stage, and we informed the drivers.”

Immediately following the race, Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali had suggested he did not think the instruction apparently issued by Massa’s race engineer Rob Smedley would be an issue with the FIA.

Smedley’s exact words to Massa were: “OK, so, Fernando is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?”

Massa, who finished second behind race winner Alonso, did not reply, but a few seconds later slowed his car on the exit of Turn Six, allowing Alonso to easily overtake.

Smedley then came back on the radio and clearly used the word: “Sorry”. Then, at the end of the race Smedley told Massa he had been: “Very, very, very magnanimous” in his actions.

However, Smedley subsequently suggested to BBC Sport he had not been apologising for ordering Massa to let Alonso past.

He said: “I was pushing [Massa], because I was telling him that he’s faster and he had to get on with it, and I was giving him the gaps, and you’re always talking in tenths of a second, and the apology is just because I’m sorry it’s happened, I’m sorry he’s got past, and there you go, but we’re still in the pound seats, we’re still in P2, so keep pushing and hopefully keep Sebastian [Vettel] behind you.”

At the post-race news conference, Massa himself carefully avoided giving a specific explanation of the incident.

Asked whether it had been a driving error on his part that had enabled Alonso to pass, the Brazilian said: “He passed me. The only thing I feel is we’re working for the team, and doing a very good job for the team, and that’s the most important thing.”

However he did say he felt he had deserved to win the race.

“I think so. The start was just fantastic and also the pace on the soft tyres was really great and then I was struggling a little bit on the hard tyres, but anyway a very good race for us.”

But later, talking to BBC Sport, Massa said it had been his decision to let Alonso through.

“For sure, we always need to think that we are working for the team, and we didn’t have team orders in the race. I take my decision because I was struggling on the hard tyres.”

Asked if Alonso had been faster, Massa replied: “I think everybody saw, no?”

Alonso, who when following Massa earlier in the race had told his team over the radio: “Guys, this is ridiculous,” also insisted there had been no team orders.

He said: “I was surprised when I saw Felipe had a problem, I thought it was a gear problem at the exit of turn six.

“At the end we are professional drivers, we work for Ferrari, they pay us, and we gave them 43 points today.”

When asked if he felt embarrassed, he said: “Same. What is important is the team result.”

Monaco Results and other news

OK so I personally thought it was a good drive today by Fernando from coming from the pits to P6 AMAZING again Fernando!

Schumacher penalised for Alonso safety-car pass! Read the article on f1.com by clicking the link. The rules are simple if teams can’t get this across to their drivers then well you get what you get!

The rule is simple and it’s online both on the F1 and FIA sites!

40.13 If the race ends whilst the safety car is deployed it will enter the pit lane at the end of the last lap and the cars will take the chequered flag as normal without overtaking.

So yes up yours Schumacher lol nice try :)

Anyway results are under the read more what did YOU think about the race?
