Ferrari escape further penalty over orders

Formula One's governing body upheld a $100,000 fine for Ferrari but will impose no further sanction following the team orders controversy, an Italian motorsport official told reporters.

Angelo Sticchi Damiani, president of Italy's CAI Motorsport Federation, said a meeting of the FIA's world motor sport council agreed unanimously not to impose a further punishment.

Race stewards handed the $100,000 fine to Ferrari after the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim in July when the team was found to have ordered Felipe Massa to allow Fernando Alonso to win.
