Ferrari was summoned before the World Motor Sport Council (Yesterday, Wednesday 8th September). Were the punishment stand, wasn't added. Jean Todt (President of the FIA) did not get involved in the discussions because of his History with Ferrari (Team Principal and CEO of Ferrari from 1993 to 2008), leaving the Council to make its own decision. Said in an Interview with the BBC, he states:
"Before you say you are guilty, you need to be able to prove that you are guilty, And if you understand all the parts that have been asked, everyone has denied that it was a team order"
When the reporter respond to suggestions that, despite Ferrari's denials, many people believed the outfit had used team orders, Todt said: "I tend to agree as well."
So, if they want evidence that Ferrari were Guilty of team orders. Look no further of the body language of Felipe Massa after the race and race podium, would give a few clues. Don't need to be Miss Marble to figure it out with Rob Smedley what he said between the lines it is a team order saying in those messages: "Can you confirm that you understood that message? ... sorry". If I was in World Motor Sport Council giving the punishment, it would be:
- 5 - 10 million dollars fine would be for a start
- Hockinheim points Ferrari got in the constructors championship that weekend (43 points) would have been taken away
- And a suspended two race ban until the end of 2011
If I was Judge, jury and executioner. But, I'm not a member of World Motor Sport Council or the President of the FIA so it will never happen. So would over teams such as Mclaren or Red Bull will do it, if it gonna cost 100,000 dollars who would for both world championships. It might happen, Until the rule is sorted.
So, predictions for Italian Grand Prix, a McLaren one two, with Lewis Hamilton leading from Jenson Button, Mark Webber in third place. Don't count out anyone from Sebastian Vettel, Ferraris, Mercedes or even a surprise from Force India again from last season (Adrian Sutil started from second, finished forth). That is all, bye.
