The toothless FIA has fined the Ferrari Formula One team a million dollars not for the disgraceful team orders given a few races ago in Austria, but rather for the podium-swapping chicanery that Schumacher pulled when he realized that the entire Austrian crowd was booing him all the way to the winners circle. Ferrari tried to save face last week in Nurburg by letting Barrichello win, but the clear coat has been tarnished on the red cars from Maranello.
