Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has defended the tactics of his team in Sunday’s German Grand Prix at Hockenheim.

Fernando Alonso claimed victory ahead of teammate Felipe Massa but the Italian marquee was later fined 100,000 dollars by race stewards who ruled that Massa had deliberately slowed down to allow the two-time world champion pass for victory.

The incident has also been referred to the World Motor Sport Council, leading to the possibility of Ferrari receiving a greater penalty.

Di Montezemolo accused Ferrari’s critics of hypocrisy, saying team orders have been an integral part of Formula One throughout the history of the sport.

soon-to-be-launched service through SMS packs or voice alerts, and at a designated time in the morning, they will get wake-up calls from Basu, in different manners, depending on the type they choose.

“I have a very unique and identifiable voice, so I’ve recorded some fun ways of waking people up,” Basu smiles. “I’m a morning person. So for me, waking up is a must. I would be waking up lazy people in different ways – in a fun tone, a cute tone or a strict, disciplined fitness expert tone.”

Nokia is trying hard to promote its obsolescent Symbian operating system, claiming that it will shift 50 million devices running Symbian in the coming years.

After posting dire financial results, embattled Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo tried to put some positive spin on the company’s 40 percent drop in profits for the quarter. Apparently the Symbian^3 operating system that the firm bunged into its flagship N8 smartphone is wildly popular with mobile network operators. “The feedback from operators on the N8 and Symbian^3 has been very good,” said Kallasvuo.

The CEO, who pleaded for an end to the speculation regarding whether or not he’ll be shown the door, is pinning his and the firm’s future on Symbian succeeding. “I’m optimistic that the N8 will be the first step towards overcoming the challenges we face at the high end of our portfolio,” said Kallasvuo, before he had to deal with the fact that Nokia had announced that all future N-series devices will actually be loaded with its Meego operating system.

Most eye-catching Chile, Brazil made them look ordinary in FIFA

Chile have been among the most eye-catching South American teams at this tournament yet Brazil made them look ordinary in Johannesburg, advancing to a quarter-final against Holland and leaving few in any doubt that winning this World Cup is likely to involve knocking Dunga’s or Diego Maradona’s team out of the competition.

On current form a Brazil versus Argentina final seems both likely and logical, though perhaps Holland or Germany can put a word in for Europe at the weekend. Certainly Brazil were irrepressible here, not at all flattered by a three goal margin of victory and displaying some of the famously attacking fluency that Dunga is supposed to have extinguished.

When they needed it, that is. With Chile beaten by half-time, Brazil played the second half with something in reserve, always conscious that bigger challenges lie ahead.

“Everyone wants to see open football and we played very quickly,” Dunga said. “The Netherlands play a quick game too, they are a good technical team, a bit like South Americans. The quality of our players allows me to be calm about what comes next.
