Ferrari orders remain for Monaco

Ferrari's technical director Ross Brawn says he will not hesitate to order Rubens Barrichello to defer to team leader Michael Schumacher once again in Formula 1's jewel in the crown, the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix

According to British tabloid newspaper The Mirror, Brawn says that Ferrari will keep applying team orders until Schumacher's fifth world title is in the bag.

"The decision we made in Austria will be repeated until the championship is decided," he said. "If similar circumstances arise at Monaco then Rubens knows he will again be expected to allow Michael through. Both drivers understand the situation."

Brawn says he doesn't see why the decision to move Barrichello aside on the final corner of the last lap at the A1-Ring should have any derogatory affect on Schumacher's reputation.

"Michael doesn't like Rubens letting him through," said Brawn. "He was not entirely comfortable. But he didn't ask for it. This was not his decision so I don't see why it should damage his reputation."

Autosport.com's Adam Cooper caught up with Brawn moments after moment in Austria. For a full transcript, click HERE.
