The decision follows Ferrari’s decision to force Barrichello to make way for the championship leader and gift him victory in the closing yards of Sunday’s race.

Since then, the Italian team has come under heavy fire from the press, public and other Formula One teams for damaging the reputation of the sport.

"Following an incident during the last lap of the 2002 Austrian Grand Prix and incidents during the subsequent podium procedure, the FIA has summoned the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro and the drivers Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello to appear before the World Motor Sports Council at its next meeting," read an FIA statement.
