Weekend review and results round-up
After the team-mate collisions and confusion of Turkey and the Red Bull wing row at Silverstone, another intra-team controversy dominated the German Grand Prix weekend, as Felipe Massa moved aside to let his Ferrari team-mate Fernando Alonso take victory
Such an exchange was logical given their championship positions, but with all forms of team orders technically banned, the incident sparked a furore and a fine and FIA referral from the stewards.
That at least moved the spotlight on from Red Bull, whose Silverstone spat remained a big talking point at Hockenheim until Ferrari handily provided something new to talk about. Both teams were then involved in the latest technical intrigue, with question marks over potentially flexible front wings.
There was controversy in IndyCar as well, with Helio Castroneves abruptly stripped of Edmonton victory when he was adjudged to have blocked Will Power, which meant the win went to Scott Dixon, whose Ganassi team was already celebrating a Brickyard 400 NASCAR win with Jamie McMurray.
