Stefano Domenicali has invited the FIA to investigate whether Ferrari used team orders, illegal under the rules of F1, to facilitate Fernando Alonso's victory in Germany.
Apparently entirely unabashed by the team's apparent instruction to Massa to let his team-mate pass him for the lead of the race, Domenicali strenuously denied any wrongdoing in a remarkable and rather chaotic interview with the BBC in which he was pilloried by pundit Eddie Jordan.
Denying that Rob Smedley's loaded question to Massa was a team order, Domenicali responded to the prospect of a FIA enquiry with the declaration "we are totally open to that."
Smedley was also adament that Alonso won't receive any penalties, saying Massa slowed down because of a problem with his gears.
"I don't expect any penalties whatsoever because Alonso was just faster and Massa made a small mistake when shifting up three gears at once," he told Germany's Sky Sports.
