Another twist to the Austrian farce

GENEVA MAY 13. Motor sport's world governing body, FIA said on Monday it was summoning Ferrari drivers and officials to a special hearing following the controversial finish at the Austrian Grand Prix.

FIA said drivers Michael Schumacher, Rubens Barrichello and Ferrari team officials were called to appear before the World Sports Council in Paris on June 26. The brief statement cited `an incident during the last lap of the 2002 Austrian Grand Prix and incidents during the subsequent podium procedure.'

FIA did not say what action the council could take, but it could conceivably change the result or strip Ferrari of points.
