$10,000 fine for Ferrari...

From F1-Live:

Quote:
Despite taking pole and fifth place for tomorrows Canadian Grand Prix, the Ferrari team are not as happy as they could be after receiving a 10,000-dollar fine by Canadian officials late this afternoon.

The FIA announced the news of the imposed fine due to the fact that when Rubens Barrichello spun off the Montreal circuit, Ferrari mechanics went to the Brazilian's aid. The car came to a halt on the finishing straight and it is against the rules for team personnel to take to the circuit in that manner.
Hmmm. $10,000. Not much of a fine when you consider how many hundred million dollars Ferrari have lying around the place. They may as well just have fined them $15.
