Something new in F1 "Hackers"
The Ferrari website was blocked for several minutes on Wednesday when computer hackers took over the site in support of Rubens Barrichello.
The group, believed to be Brazilian, was protesting against Ferrari's decision to enforce team orders during last Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix, when Barrichello was forced to concede second place to team-mate Michael Schumacher. The move was decided so that the German could maintain his four-point lead in the drivers' championship and afterwards Barrichello was clearly unhappy during the podium celebrations and press conference. A group calling itself the "Insanity Zine Corp." has claimed responsibility for the website attack. The same hackers recently hit the site of Italian football champions Lazio in protest at the racist baiting by the club's fans of AS Roma's Brazilian defender Aldair during the Rome derby. Normal service has now resumed on the website and Ferrari had no comment to make about the attack. |

Don't suggest it to Jean Todt - he'll have hackers at work enforcing the Let Me By Clause willy-nilly. (Only kidding, Mr. Todt. We know you always play fair and square. We heard you on German TV.)
