PARIS (AP)—The head of Italy’s motorsports federation says FIA has decided not to impose more sanctions on Ferrari for breaking rules on team orders at the German Grand Prix.
Angelo Sticchi Damiani says FIA’s World Motor Sport Council only upheld the $100,000 fine that was imposed on July 25 at Hockenheim when Ferrari driver Felipe Massa let teammate Fernando Alonso overtake him to win the race.
The council could have stripped Massa of the victory or docked the team points or imposed another fine.
Sticchi Damiani says the council proposed that the rule banning team orders should be eliminated.
