"The WMSC deplored the manner in which team orders were given and executed at the Austrian Grand Prix. Nevertheless the Council finds it impossible to sanction the two drivers because they were both contractually bound to execute orders given by the team.”

"The Council also recognised the long-standing and traditional right of a team to decree the finishing order of its drivers in what it believes to be the best interest of its attempt to win both world championships. In the circumstances the Council decided with some reluctance that it could take no action over the team orders given by Scuderi Ferrari Marlboro at the Austrian Grand Prix."

“It is the duty of each team to ensure that its contracted drivers observe the podium procedures and do not in any way embarrass the national authorities of the country where a Grand Prix takes place."
