Sir Jackie Stewart warns FIA
Stewart did however criticize Ferrari's actions in letting Michael Schumacher win the race.
"Michael could easily have disregarded the instruction. He has more power in Ferrari than any single man I have ever known in all of my career in motorsport as a watcher of Ferrari. It could have been altered by Michael's personal initiative, he could have said it on the radio."
The British GP and the FIA have been at loggerheads in recent years over the facilities at Silverstone, and Stewart's comments about the need not to ban Ferrari may not help the situation, although direct communication between the FIA and the British Government in recent months has cleared up some misconceptions that previously existed on both sides.
