Ferrari F1 Team Order Scandal
Ferrari F1 Team accused of Team Ordering!
Former F1 world champion Fernando Alonso is currently risking the loss of his Formula One title; the hopes of grabbing a new formula1 champinship title might end if the FIA governing body sets his decision as “guilty” against Ferrari F1 team at the Paris hearing.
The Formula one Italian racing team, getting set to tackle the F1 Monza Grand Prix on home soil, were already fined by a sum of $100,000 due to manipulating the F1 results of the German Grand Prix in July through team orders which the F1 rules neglect completely.
The FIA (International Automobile Federation) world motor sport council will be deciding whether the fining penalty is sufficient or if Ferrari will be stripped off its points in the F1 standings, which could risk a title loss for Ferrari Formula one squad as well as for Alonso.
The points stripping, referring to the motorsport experts and few F1 magazines, consists on deducting points; other F1 rumors speculated f1 news about banning Ferrari F1 team from racing for the remaining races onto the FIA F1 calendar.
2-time F1 champion Alonso and Brazilian idol Felipe Massa will both miss the hearing, despite the fact that a Ferrari official had declared that the 2 formula one racing drivers might be contacted later on to fulfill the FIA council’s wish to hear from them.
McLaren's F1 world champion Jenson Button, who’s currently 4th overall in the F1 ranking with 6 points ahead of Alonso, told the F1 news reporters that "I shouldn't think the drivers will get a penalty. It will be the team, if they do get another penalty, because it was an order from the team. Personally I don't understand why they don't just change the points around of those 2, the points they got in that race, but they obviously can't do that within the regulations.”
As he remains an prominent figure within the FIA governing body, the former FIA president Max Mosley stated that the Ferrari cars and the Ferrari drivers should be heavily sanctionned and punished for manipulating the race’s result. Note that Max Mosley was in command of crafting the “anti team orders” rule back in 2002.
From a different perspective of racing specialists and F1 experts, ideas about deducting points of the Ferrari Cars and the Ferrari drivers were exchanged; it is more likely to occur as a matter of fact to see the German Grand Prix points being swept away from under the Ferrari’s feet.
The F1 betting process will now circle around the following question: Should Alonso be stripped of his acquired 25 points that he won at the Hockenheim Grand Prix? Referring to the F1 Stats, Spanish F1 driver and previous world champion will remain 5th overall but with 66 points behind McLaren F1 leader Lewis Hamilton, chances of clinching a new F1 championship title will be lost entirely with merely 6 F1 races remaining onto the F1 calendar 2010.
