Verdicts on the result? Could go either way in my opinion - thrown out due to lack of 'real' evidence or book thrown at them for bringing the sport into disrepute.

The FIA has set the date for the disciplinary hearing of the World Motor Sport Council to judge Ferrari's actions during the German Grand Prix.

The Italian squad was fined $100,000 for the illegal use of team orders during the Hockenheim event, where Felipe Massa handed the lead of the race to team-mate Fernando Alonso.

Ferrari broke article 39.1 of the sporting regulations, which state that "team orders which interfere with a race result are prohibited."

Apart from the fine, Ferrari was summoned to the WMSC.

The governing body announced on Monday that the WMSC hearing will take place in Paris on 8 September.

Not entirely pointless! $100,000 dollars is small enough for teams to consider pushing their luck, especially if the reward is great.

So, there is potential for another $100,000 to end up in the bonus jar at the FIA :p

It is a tiny amount for an F1 team, so just hope they remove the rule now.
 
I have a feeling after this race, the number 1 drivers will be picked by the top three teams.
