With all eyes on the outcome of the World Motor Sport Council meeting yesterday, Ferrari's reactions were much muted, though the decision went in their favour.
To many, it was a total surprise that the WMSC took no further action against Ferrari, as quite a few had expected heavy penalty in terms of fine or complete points deduction of the team and drivers.
However, the council is now set to review the team-order ban rule, and most probably it would be scrapped.
Ferrari on their part were quite subdued in their reaction, which showed in their statement, which said:-
"Ferrari has taken note of the decision of the FIA World Council, relating to the outcome of this year’s German Grand Prix and wishes to express its appreciation of the Council’s proposal to review article 39.1 of the Formula 1 Sporting Regulations, in light of what emerged during today’s discussions."
"Now, all the team’s efforts will be focused on the next event on track, when the Italian Grand Prix takes place at Monza this weekend."
It seems, with most of the fans already miffed at team-order controversy and now the council's decision, Ferrari preferred downplaying their enthusiasm, not to create any further controversy and get on with the job at hand i.e, focussing on this weekend's race.
