F1 » FIA believes Vettel not guilty in passing row

'flags over lights'. fine then. ditch all the stupid lights and no more confusion and/or controversy.

Remember that Ferrari were in no way competitive on track this year. The only thing they had was the EXTREME good fortune to be on the positive side of RB and McLaren's misfortunes this year. Some would call it chance favoring the prepared but when chance is all you have working you take what you can get. You could likely come up with a thousand "what if" statements about this season. Ferrari has not once come out and congratulated Vettel or Red Bull for winning what was one of the most hard fought and memorable title fights in history. Poor sportsmanship seems to be their stock in trade. Congrats Vettel!

@roz,

The knockback has already been taken care of by Bruno Senna, but still he won his third title, yes number 3! Count it on your fingers if you know how, lol.

Why not, for the sake of clarity and maybe even safety, prohibit overtakes at all parts of the circuit while an incident is deemed unsafe. Like DRS, overtaking can be suspended or permitted... simple.

... and then they would all argue about whether it was unsafe or a conspiracy :facepalm:

Im not one for digging deep into technicals but video clearly shows Vettel overtaking irrespective of ridiculous technical regulations / rules. Did they (FIA) not allow Michael Schumacher countless race wins and F1 titles when he SHOULD have been disqualified for illegal moves??? So its another flawed F1 title, this time for Vettel. End of.

Further proof that once again Vettel gets away with something by the FIA. A few times this season hes got away with "Bending" the rules. Looks like the FIA have a new pet.

Does anyone feel cheated here? I do!!!

@ Rhys Williams

Those with a brain don't feel cheated as they can understand the FIA response.

Rhys,amen to that.
