What a farcical decision, if anything Massa was totally at fault for that move (and the spin was punishment enough) but OH NO, Massa drives a FERRARI, that means action must be taken against the Toro Rosso, I feel sorry for Bourdais, 3 totally deserved points taken away from him and for what, HOLDING HIS RIGHT OF WAY!!! and OBEYING THE RULES!!!, i hope he appeals this ridiculous penalty.

As for the other decisions, i thought they were spot on with both Hamilton's and Massa's penalties, even though what Massa did to Hamilton shot the latter's race to shreds

I just dont want to believe that this is real, how can they possibly justify that decision?

Where was bourdais supposed to go? He came out of the pits an took his normal line. Massa turned into him!

The Hamilton penalty (both in Spa and here) were travesties. This is an abomination, an insult to the sport, and without a doubt the worst decision in the history of f1. That is it, there is just no justice.

If anyone ever believed that the sport was not biased towards ferrari they no longer have a foot to stand on. What a joke. The fia and the stewards should hang there heads in shame. This is three years running. This sport is a farce.

Ferrari International Assistance ride to the rescue again - yeehaaa! Spose they were having a tea break when Massa used the pitlane exit chevrons to overtake Webber? Its OK for Massa to do this but if Hamilton moves off the racetrack = Penalty. The FIA have no credibility and make the sport a laughing stock.

Nice to see somebody else, other than Lewis being penalised by the stewards.

Coincidence that Massa/Ferrari benefit.

Should Massa not have had 2 penalties, 1 for causing an avoidable accident, 2 for cutting the corner.

Well it wasn't just Massa, Bourdais understeered into him. There shouldn't have been a penalty thinking about it, but there was and there is nothing you can do about it, i just want to point out it's not only Hamilton who gets penalised.

i notice it was decided after the race and that it was a 25 second penalty just like lewis hamiltons penalty at spa in belgium and no doubt if an appeal was lodged with the fia it would be ruled inadmissable just like lewis's was.
people call these stewards clowns.i don't think so i think they know just what there doing.they are awarding penalties after the race knowing full well they can't be contested in any court of appeal.

Spook, i agree. If anything, F1 has their own version of Alex Ferguson in Luca di Montezemolo, he always moans if something doesnt go Ferrari's way.

And like the FA, the FIA are to chicken to get on the wrong side of him

well its incredible nothing surprises me more, Massa will win the WDC, but if I were him, I would have to say I haven't won it I was given it, and therefore would continue to say that I feel dishonoured that I haven't won it in the true spirit off COMPETITION. But this is Ferrari and they will undoubtably say he desreves it and do you know what, we ain't Bl00DY FALKIRKING FOOLED

I think i do have a clue, i've been following this sport since i was 5 years old. It isn't just Hamilton that gets penalised, both Raikkonen and Massa have been penalised this year to. This is what i hate about Hamilton supporters if something isn't done for him it's always wrong..
