Bernie: Ferrari will have to be careful
Formula 1 ringmaster Bernie Ecclestone believes Ferrari will be under close scrutiny in 2003 following the prohibition of team orders by the F1 Commission, according to a story in this week's AUTOSPORT
In Monday's landmark meeting the teams and FIA officials agreed to stop the manipulation of results such as Ferrari did to widespread derision in Austria and the Unites States this year. Ecclestone admits that the teams could find ways to disguise their orders, but reckons Ferrari will be under the microscope in case it breaches the agreement next year.
"At the moment [Ferrari] can do what they like, and nobody will say anything," he said. "Now they will have to be careful. There is no doubt that there probably will be team orders. If I ran a team and I had two guys running for the championship three races from the end, there would be some sort of idea of what they should be doing."
