FIA reviews Team Orders
 
As a result of the recent uproar in certain quarters over Ferrari's use of team orders at the Austrian Grand Prix the FIA has commenced a review of team orders in Formula One. For the first time the FIA will allow the public to have a say.

Currently there are no rules covering the use of team orders and as such, even if the FIA had wanted to penalise the Ferrari team for its actions, they were not able to do so.

The FIA Working Group will gather opinions from anyone ranging from fans to Team personnel about team orders and whether a rule should be introduced that prevents staged finishes.

A special section on the FIA’s web site www.fia.com has been set-up. Comments can also be e-mailed to teamorders@fia.com . The deadline for contributions is September 1.
