Jun.29 (GMM) A spokesman for F1's governing body has confirmed there will be no disciplinary action after Fernando Alonso and Ferrari's post-Valencia outbursts. Alonso accused FIA stewards of manipulating the European grand prix by imposing a late drive-through penalty on Lewis Hamilton after the Briton overtook the safety car. Ferrari supported its Spanish driver, calling the outcome a "scandal" and repeating on its website the cries of angry team fans, including one who slammed the "Federation of clowns". A source on Monday said the FIA is not considering action against Alonso or Ferrari, but a subsequent media report said "a number" of officials are "known to be angered" by the outbursts. But an FIA spokesman is quoted by the British newspaper Daily Mail: "We won't be taking action." Telegraph writer Simon Briggs thinks the FIA might have concluded that Ferrari have "made themselves look silly enough already".
