Ferrari one-two in Germany

Ferrari surprised everyone with a one-two victory in Germany. Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa finished first and second respectively, albeit a controversial one. Massa was leading for the most part of the race until his race engineer's communication in the radio. Smedley's exact words were: "OK, so, Fernando is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?" Although Massa did not reply to the message, moments later Massa slow down and Alonso blew past him. His engineer later said: "Good lad. Just stick with him now. Sorry."

However, at the end of the race Team Principal Domenicali insisted there was no team order that took place and that it was mainly a driver's decision. The incident was investigated by the race stewards and later fined Ferrari $100,000 for their actions and referred the incident to World Motor Sport Council. Such action might further put Ferrari for further penalties if proven guilty.

As for the final driver classification, Vettel finished third after starting from pole position. Hamilton and Button finished 4th and 5th respectively, gaining quality points for the team. McLaren still leads both championships. Webber finished 6th while nursing oil consumption problems. Kubica followed in 7th place for Renault. Rosberg and Schumacher finished 8th and 9th respectively for Mercedes GP. The last point went to Petrov for the second Renault.
