Formula One’s governing body is dropping a controversial ban on team orders.
Following a meeting of its World Motor Sport Council in Monaco on Friday, FIA said in a statement that the rule that banned team orders that could interfere with a race result will not be in place for next season.
Ferrari was handed a $100,000 fine this season after driver Felipe Massa let teammate Fernando Alonso overtake him to win the German Grand Prix following Ferrari radio messages.
FIA then said it would review the ban on team orders, which was introduced following the 2002 season after Ferrari ordered Rubens Barrichello to hand victory to Michael Schumacher in the Austrian Grand Prix.
