Ferrari fined $100,000, to face FIA World Council

Ferrari has been fined $100,000 and now faces the wrath of the FIA's World Motor Sport Council.

A furore erupted after Sunday's German Grand Prix, in which Felipe Massa moved aside for winner Fernando Alonso after the Brazilian's engineer told him the Spaniard was faster.

Team management, and later the drivers, were summoned by the stewards, where Ferrari blankly denied the incident was a clear breach of the rule prohibiting result-altering team orders.
