Alonso's fee in the British GP has been carefully discussed but this short article from Autosport raises another issue. The content (http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/85320) provides Ferrari's edition of the events surrounding Alonso's spread Kubica. If it's to be thought, and there's a partial transcript of radio stations conversation between Ferrari and Charlie Whiting, then it sheds some light on why Ferrari didn't tell Alonso to allow Kubica through after seemingly being told to do this immediately" by Whiting. You will find two showing parts: 13:33 Ferrari makes another radio phone - 1m55s following the move. Alonso has finished still another panel plus one field, and is behind Nico Rosberg and Jaime Alguersuari, while Kubica falls further back. Whiting shows Ferrari that the stewards believe Alonso might provide the place straight back. Rivola asks: 'Is this your decision '? Whiting replies: 'No, but that's how exactly we view it .' 13:33:22 Ferrari makes a third radio phone. Rivola shows Whiting: 'Alonso doesn't have only Kubica behind. He'd need certainly to acknowledge two jobs today.' While the matter is discussed by them Kubica is overtaken by Barrichello therefore Alonso would need to now quit three positions. Whiting replies: 'We've given you the opportunity to get it done or not. Issues being in this way, the stewards may hear the individuals at the conclusion of the contest, but I am aware your situation.' First Whiting shows Ferrari that the stewards "think" Alonso must provide the position straight back and when asked whether that's your decision he states "No, but that's how exactly we see it." Who's we? The stewards or Race Get a handle on. First he shows Ferrari that they've to provide the area straight back and then says that it's not necessarily your decision it's so just how "we" see it. After further questioning from Ferrari Whiting states "We have given the chance to you to get it done or not. Issues being in this way, the drivers will be heard by the stewards at the conclusion of the contest, but I am aware your position." Alonso is then given the travel through. Just how can this be when Ferrari are told that it'd be mentioned at the end of the competition? Throughout the competition I was furious at the fee. Then I was furious at Ferrari for overlooking instructions from competition get a handle on. Today I'm bemused at the entire procedure and questioning Whiting's handling of the event. So far as I understand, groups don't have any direct connection with the stewards throughout a competition. They've to undergo Race Get a handle on and ergo Whiting. Why? Whiting indicates that his view isn't just like the stewards (Hamilton/Raikkonnen at Nielsthomas1 '08) and that he provides uncertain data to the groups when it comes to the stewards choices (Alonso/Kubica Silverstone '10). For me Whiting must both be dismissed (impossible as he's Bernie's partner) or changed whilst the team's connection with the stewards throughout a competition. If the groups had an individual in the steward's room they might contact after an event then Ferrari could have been in a position to obtain the stewards view and acted accordingly. They'd to obtain the stewards view as construed by Whiting because it stands. We found what Whiting's meaning was worth.
