SPIELBERG, Austria -- Austrian newspapers have blasted Ferrari's "team orders" win at Spielberg as a farce, pouring scorn on a decision which gave Michael Schumacher his fourth consecutive win this season.

"Formula One as Formula Farce!" the Kleine Zeitung newspaper said of Sunday's race at the A1-Ring.

Spectators were stunned in the final seconds of the race as Brazilian Rubens Barrichello, who had led from the start, braked out of the last corner to allow four-time world champion Schumacher to win his first Austrian Grand Prix.

An Austrian firm said it had set up a call center to field complaints from fans demanding their money back from organizers. The complaints would be passed on to the state prosecutor to investigate the grounds for a case.

"Formula One party in Spielberg turns into a betrayal of the sport," said the front page headline in the Kurier newspaper above a photograph of Schumacher bowing to Barrichello on the winner's podium.

Newspapers focused on the reaction of fans who booed and gave thumbs-down signs at the end of the race.

"Schumacher's awarded win angers millions of Grand Prix fans," the Kurier said, adding how the prize-giving ceremony had been drowned out by whistles from spectators.

"The A1 arena had reached boiling point," the paper said. "Even die-hard Ferrari fans were seething with anger and disappointment. A troop of them was hanging from the balconies shouting "It's a fix.".
