Defacers turned motor sport fans yesterday in a protest against the
controversial decision to gift Michael Schumacher victory at the
Austrian Grand Prix.

Ferrari-group.com was defaced by a group called S4t4n1c_Souls after
the race with a profane message criticising Ferrari's management for
ordering Rubens Barichello, who dominated the race, the make way for
Schumacher on the last corner, handing him an undeserved victory.

"BARRICHELO ROX FERRARI SUX," the message reads, in part. Defacement
archive Alldas.org records eight attacks against Ferrari in recent
months.

Drivers have been handed victory before but the end of the race at the
A1 ring was widely has sparked particular criticism because it was
seen as a particularly cynical ploy, that went against any notion of
sportsmanship in F1.

The Ferrari team have been summoned to appear before the sport's
governing body, the FIA (International Automobile Federation), on 26
June. Schumacher may be docked points for Ferrari's tactics during the
race, the BBC reports.
