# Well, the FIA and the stewards are in the pay of Ferrari, so I really can see this happening

# ^ This
It could have been such a good race yesterday. But no, the retarded stewards decide that a move that in fact had no effect on the way the race panned out as Kimi well and truly failed into the side wall should still be penalised.

Still annoyed!

# It was daft
He went from being alongside and going faster, to behind and going slower.

# On the other hand...
Hamilton surely should have waited until the next turn to make his move if he wanted to ensure he would not be penalised. I also think that if he had time to steer when he cut the corner he would have had time to brake (the corner is what you might call a slow corner by F1 standards and he is a pro driver).

He he - I said penalised...

# But
as Kimi crashed out anyway, surely whatever happened beforehand is trivial?

It now means that yet another thing is going to have to be sorted out by the lawyers and officials off the track, taking away yet more from the excitement on the track. It makes a mockery of the sport.

*chortle* penalised *chortle*

# True
But the fact that Kimi went out later shouldn't have a bearing on little Lewis and his naughty driving - he was a very bad boy. Kinda.

I know what you mean though - the sport isn't a sport anymore. Clubman racing is where it's at. Maybe when I start I can get a b3ta sponsorship deal...

# it's not really got anything to do with Rai' crashing out though....
...If Ham' gained time by cutting the corner, then it affects his position in the top three.

As he slowed down to a degree, it shouldn't have, and he would still have been ahead of Massa, so by that it's all moot.

The cynic in me thinks that it's a Ferrari put up job, but in all honesty, it's probably the FIA trying to keep the drivers championship as close as possible to make it more "entertaining".

# I really, really don't get F1.
As far as I can see, it's cars going so fast you can't see them, filmed in a way that makes them look like they're going slower than they are.

I've stood next to an F1 car, and it was tiny. Blummin rubbish. It was about the size of a mobile 'phone.

I don't want a phone that goes 200 mph at 6 miles per gallon!

# well yeh the cars are tiny
but so're the drivers. makes it even more impressive that a guy who's 6" tall can drive that fast.

# The brakes work with heat
If you don't drive it fast enough than you can't use the brakes. How pant shitting is that?

boredom gland... read any good books recently? My lady asked me to read The Dark Tower to her... so that's taking up most of my reading time. God I wish Steven King had had an editor who was prepared to stand up to him.
