Ferrari poised for orders hearing
Alonso faces the prospect of being stripped of his controversial German Grand Prix victory as Ferrari stand accused of using team orders, which are banned in Formula One, to engineer the result.
Should such a punishment be meted out, Alonso would drop be 66 points adrift of current championship leader Lewis Hamilton instead of 41.That point was emphasised by reigning champion Jenson Button, who told said: "I don't think the drivers will get a penalty.
"If they do get another penalty it will be for the team because it was an order from the team.
"Personally I don't understand why they just don't swap the points around for those two, but you can't do that within the regulations."
"If one wants to fulfil the needs of the audience, then one must maintain the ban," said Mosley.
"Both cars and both drivers should lose the points they achieved in the German Grand Prix."
