Massa risks to go to jail if he obeys team orders at Interlagos


If Felipe Massa would let his Scuderia Ferrari team mate Fernando Alonso overtake him, like he did in Germany, this weekend he could end up in jail. In Brazil there is a law that protects the fans at sporting events and it can lead to a prison sentence of 6 years for a sportsperson that is convicted of fraud or the counterfeiting of a sportsgame.
Paulo Castilho, solicitor of the court in Sao Paulo, said: "If that happens (if Massa obeys team orders and let Alonso pass), he will leave the interlagos circuit in the buoys."
