F1 » Bourdais penalty gifts Massa extra point

if massa handed a penalty for keeping his position in side while hamilton was trying to pass him than it is quite normal bourdais also handed a penalty. Massa was also in front of Bourdais before they touched each other.

what odds that any appeal by Toro Rosso whould be deemed to be inadmissable, thats assuming it could get that far don't forget they have Ferrari engines.

This is supposed to be RACING my friend, not a jolly on the A45... Rights of way are for the road, when you come out of the pits racing for position you try to keep that position. If you have the racing line (as Bourdais DID) and the position (as Bourdais DID) then the other driver should yield.

I don't give a stuff who the other driver was, that is how it's been since I started watching F1 20 years ago...

Yet another strange penalty is handed out and surprisingly benefits Massa once more. Surely the FIA can not ingore this one sided penalty culture that has developed?
Euorpean GP Massa released in front of Sutil, penalty 10,000 euro fine with Lewis 8 seconds behind.
Singapore (sorry for the spelling )when the same thing happened involving the same drivers, penalty drive through. what was the difference? easy Massa''a chases of points had already gone so the penalty really had no effect.
In the currently climate when money is tight for the average man on the street let alone the f1 teams trying to bring millions from sponsors, what kind of advert is this for those targeted sponsors?

because of this decision bourdais may not have a drive for next year he needed the points and they were taken away

massa was on the grass when he came back to hit Hamilton so he was in the wrong !bourdais was already there in the corner when Massa appeared

You know there is something wrong with a 'sport' when the stewards/referees play a bigger part than the racers/cars/teams in the results. F1 has gone mad and it's got worst since MM got away with what most people would regard as a humiliating outing...reckon he now believes he is totally invincible.. Would love to see Hamilton do a Jesse Owens.... I'm a bike fan where we celebrate tight raing, but find myself wanting Hamilton to win as much as Rossi...never thought I'd say that..

Is it fair or not? From my viewpoint those two driver have a right to fight since Sebastian already in the racing line. It might be unfair for Sebastian to be drifted 25 second. Anyone that have the video of this incident please post it at youtube for everyone could watch and see in objective way!

Note there was no penalty for Ferrari the other day when they let his car out infront of another car in the pits - when returning to the lollipop system.

Also note there was no penalty for Ferrari when letting his car out infront of another car during the race - in a race.

Massa - you do NOT deserve that 1 point.

Hamilton is crazy, but at least he is a RACER.

Massa has 'daddy' FIA to clean his clothes and fortune him free gifts.

It's on youtube now... Massa vs Bourdais...

I think the pictures speak for themselves... Massa turns in too far and clips Bourdais.
