Ferrari might be in trouble WMSC wasn't too happy with their whining...

Ferrari's may yet find themselves in hot water with the FIA following their extraordinary outburst after the European Grand Prix.
Fernando Alonso and the rest of his team are seething after Lewis Hamilton managed to finish second in Valencia despite being receiving a drive-through penalty for passing the Safety Car. The Italian marque feel the punishment did not fit the crime as it didn't affect the McLaren driver's position.
Alonso claimed it was a "manipulated race" while Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo says the team "paid a price that was too high for respecting the rules"
Initial reports suggested that the FIA was unlikely to punish Alonso or Ferrari for questioning the integrity of race director Charlie Whiting and his stewards.
However, the Guardian says the comments from the Scuderia have not gone down well with motor sport's governing body.
According to the paper, 'Ferrari could face action from the FIA following their claims'.
The report adds: 'A number of officials from the sport's governing body are known to be angered by the Scuderia's intemperate response after the penalty drive-through awarded against Lewis Hamilton for overtaking the safety car did not prevent the British driver from finishing second in Spain and doubling his lead in the title race to six points.'
