Ferrari not appealing stewards' team order verdict

Indexed from F1Complete.com 1 month 2 weeks ago. (425 Views)
Jul.25 Ferrari is not appealing its $100,000 penalty for imposing illegal team orders in the German grand prix. The stewards, also directing the matter to the World Motor Sport Council, found the Italian team guilty of both team orders and disrepute.The team denies the charge, arguing that Felipe Massa made the decision to let Fernando Alonso pass him at Hockenheim after struggling on the hard tyres and receiving advice from his race engineer that Alonso was faster."In the interests of the sport, we have decided not to go through a procedure of appealing against it (the decision), confident that the World Council will know how to evaluate the overall facts correctly," said team boss Stefano Domenicali.With just three days now until the F1 circus re-congregates in Hungary, the other story to emerge is that Massa might now be considered Alonso's number two.When asked specifically about playing a longer-term subordinate role to the Spaniard, Brazilian Massa said on Sunday: "Well, I cannot say that I'm there fighting for first position in the championship."He also denied that his decision to give way to Alonso will damage his reputation."For sure not, for sure not," said Massa, the 2008 championship runner-up."I'm very professional and I've shown in my career how professional I am.  You (reporters) are professional as well, you work for a company."I believe you are doing what you have to do, so I'm professional and today I showed how professional I am.  That's it," he insisted.
