The World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) announced this morning (Wednesday) that Ferrari, Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello had jointly been fined US$1 million for their contravention of podium procedure at the Austrian GP.

Fined 1 mil for PODIUM PROCEDURE, what a load of crap.

:embarrasm who cares, good riddance...

Anyhow, Shumy can just pay for it out of his own pocket, they're deep enough. I am just glad that they had some sort of punishment for their idiotic ways :rolleyes:
