Ferrari's rage at Formula One stewards and governing body showed no signs of abating this week after the European Grand Prix they denounced as a 'false race'.
The Ferrari website (www.ferrari.com) reproduced a range of headlines from the international media to highlight 'Formula Chaos' and how McLaren's Lewis Hamilton had cashed in at their expense in a safety car incident.
The Italian company's vice-president, Piero Ferrari, said he had been shocked by what had happened after the safety car was deployed for four laps in the wake of Australian Mark Webber's big accident.
"I am incredulous and bitter, not just for Ferrari, but for the sport as a whole, as this is not the sort of thing one expects from professionals," he said.
"For a long time now, I have also followed races in championships in the United States, where the appearance of the safety car is a frequent occurrence, but I have never seen anything similar to what happened (in Valencia).
"If it raises some doubts over the actions that led to a false race, to me that would seem more than reasonable," the Italian added.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, who had hoped to make good use of a significant technical upgrade to shine in front of his home fans, had been third and behind Hamilton when the safety car came out of the pitlane.
It emerged alongside Hamilton, who went past while double world champion Alonso remained behind.
Although Hamilton was eventually handed a drive-through penalty, it proved meaningless with the Briton having such a big advantage on the track by then that he was able to take the sanction without losing position.
The 2008 champion ended up second at the chequered flag, behind Red Bull's winner Sebastian Vettel, with Alonso ninth before moving up to eighth after a separate stewards' enquiry.
Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali called for a rethink on the rules, particularly the delay it took for the stewards to decide on punishing Hamilton, who was Alonso's team mate at McLaren in a frosty 2007 pairing.
"Of course we are very angry because we didn't get the points that we should have got from this race, considering our performance," he said.
"If you take a decision and that decision has an affect on the end classification, but because of the delay it doesn't happen, this is something we need to consider." Alonso told Spanish reporters in the heat of the moment after the race that it had been 'manipulated' in Hamilton's favour.
