Ferrari vents after "scandal" race in Valencia
The Scuderia Ferrari has labelled the European Grand Prix a "scandal" in a statement issued on their official website. The team vented its frustrations over the safety car situation with Lewis Hamilton.
The statement said: "A scandal , that's the opinion of so many fans and employees who are all in agreement: there is no other way to describe what happened during the European Grand Prix. The way the race and the incidents during it were managed raise doubts that could see Formula 1 lose some credibility again, as it was seen around the world."
Meanwhile, Piero Ferrari has also questioned the events of Sunday's race, “I am incredulous and bitter, not just for Ferrari, but for the sport as a whole, as this is not the sort of thing one expects from professionals. For a long time now, I have also followed races in championships in the United States, where the appearance of the Safety Car is a frequent occurrence, but I have never seen anything similar to what happened today at the Valencia circuit. If it raises some doubts over the actions that led to a false race, to me that would seem more than reasonable.”
