ROME - Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali has praised the dropping of Formula One's ban on team orders, describing it as end to "pointless hypocrisy".

Ferrari was fined $100,000 last season for ordering Felipe Massa to move over when leading the German Grand Prix and let teammate Fernando Alonso pass him to take victory.

On Friday, the World Motor Sports Council decided to drop the regulation that bans team orders from next season.
