Former world champion Damon Hill, believes the Ferrari team and driver duo will come away from the WMSC hearing later today without any punishment.
Hill has blamed the flawed rule, article 39.1 which states “team orders must not interfere with a race result,” for being unclear and for this reaon the case will end without any further harm to Ferrari’s title chances.
“Teams say they are not implementing team orders but we all suspect that what they are doing is indicating to the driver how they would like them to perform, which can’t be construed as an order,” he told the Telegraph.
“It is an issue which has been creeping up for some time and has not been addressed and I think Ferrari might get off because the rules aren’t clear.
“This is where the sport doesn’t do itself any favours. It needs a media circus to make the necessary changes. I mean, this is happening four days before the Italian Grand Prix.”
The verdict is expected late afternoon to early evening on Wednesday.
