German F1 win marred by controversy after team orders team mate to let other past.
Ferrari were reprimanded for breaching sporting regulations after it appeared that the Ferrari team ordered Felipe Massa to let his team mate Fernando Alonso past into pole position.
The team insisted that it was a driver decision. Although it appears that the orders were given by a coded message. Massa was told by his race engineer over the radio:
“Fernando is faster than you, can you confirm you understand?”
Massa let his teammate Fernando past a few turns later.
The Ferrari team received a $100,000 fine for breaching FIA Rule 39.1:” Team orders which interfere with race results are prohibited.”
The controversy overshadowed what was effectively a Ferrari dominated event. Their closest rival were no where to be seen. Red Bulls Sebastian Vettel was the third person on the podium and was a full 5.1 seconds slower than his Ferrari competitors. Languishing in forth place was current drivers standings leader, Lewis Hamilton in his McLaren.
The German Grand Prix was held at Hockenhiem ring
circuit.
