The FIA World Motorsport Council in June will be considering a report on the driving of Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher at the recent Brazilian Grand Prix. A report has been prepared by the FIA Observer at F1 races, Herbie Blash. The federation is unhappy because Schumacher spun out of the race in Interlagos when double yellow flags were being shown and was fortunate not to hit a crane which was working beside the track.

The WMSC will also consider a punishment for Fernando Alonso for his accident which resulted in the red flag being shown as he was travelling incredibly fast when there were yellow flags and Safety Car boards around the track.
