Ferrari have escaped further punishment for using banned team orders.

The FIA, world motorsport's governing body, upheld Ferrari's $100,000 (£65,100) fine, but will review the rule banning team orders.

F1's Sporting Working Group will look into the rule that forbids a team to tell a driver to cede to his team-mate.

Ferrari had been fined for appearing to give Felipe Massa a coded message to allow Fernando Alonso through to win the German Grand Prix.

"The judging body has decided to confirm the stewards' decision of the $100,000 fine for infringing article 39.1 [the ban on team orders] of the sporting regulations and to impose the payment of the costs incurred by the FIA," the FIA said in their statement.
