Statement from the FIA

The FIA today issued the following statement in response to allegations in the UK media.

It has come to our attention that the private activities of the FIA and Ferrari at Spa have been filmed and distributed to the general public over the last weekend, together with false statements that the events depicted had a sporting theme.

The activities depicted were a private matter between the participants, all of whom were consenting adults. Suggestions that one of the victims, a Mr L. Hamilton, was a child are completely untrue. He is a consenting adult who just looks underage and he was financially rewarded for his subservient part in the role-playing of the dominant participants.

Parades of Ferrari automobiles are perfectly legal when conducted in private by consenting adults, even when they include role-play. We regard the media tactics to be most intrusive. Some even used helicopters to film the private activities of the participants. The FIA utterly refutes any suggestion by the media that what took place at Spa was meant to be a sporting event and will pursue a case for libel against those who have made such scurrilous allegations.

And there's more:

Following unfortunate misunderstandings in the Grands Prix at Valencia and Spa, the FIA has revised the Red Car Rule for Formula 1. These amendments will be applied with immediate effect:

1) Overtaking a Ferrari is not permitted under any circumstances.
2) In the pit lane, a Ferrari always has precedence over other cars.
3) Any driver finishing less than 25 seconds ahead of a Ferrari will be penalized 25 seconds.*
4) If neither Ferrari finishes in first place, the stewards reserve the right to declare the result null and void (or to adjust it as necessary).
5) Only Ferrari drivers are permitted to use anything other than designated parts of a circuit.
6) If forced off the designated part of the track by a Ferrari, the guilty driver should immediately crash his car and return to the pits
6) Any driver or team appealing against any FIA decision in favour of Ferrari may be subject to a fine and/or the deduction of points.
*Subject to post-race adjustment by the stewards.

and finally:

FIA DENIES DISCRIMINATION ALLEGATIONS
Following the 25 second penalty given to Lewis Hamilton for allegedly gaining track advantage over Kimi Raikkonen in the Belgian Grand Prix, the fat, super-rich old men who control Formula 1 have denied any sinister bias against the British McLaren driver.

There really is no agenda here, said one FIA steward yesterday. It was plain to see that the darkie unfairly passed the blond haired, blue eyed chap. In doing so the genetically pure driver clearly had a place stolen from him by that other one, which should come as no surprise knowing their sort.

I must reiterate that this does not mean the FIA has some sort of problem with fuzzy-wuzzies, he added. We welcome our more rhythmic brethren in Formula 1, although obviously wed prefer it if they didnt come into the club lounge unless its to serve drinks. And even then youd probably best keep an eye on your wallet if you know what I mean.

I hope this completely clears up any confusion about the incident involving the, you know, one of them, and the mighty gentleman of the master race, our source concluded. The ruling after Spa was nothing to do with ethnicity. It was simply good old fashioned transparent corruption and bias in favour of Ferrari as usual oh damn
