F1 » Bourdais penalty gifts Massa extra point

all this is a shame
i'm fed up with formula1

Nascar is NOT this rigged. F1 is the biggest JOKE on the planet. There are even those very close to the sport that do not understand what is going on. Who on earth would want to invest their money in this sport? Being stupid myself I actually tried to get others to watch the races. These are not races. And calling it a circus is not even correct. More like perverted.

boycottF1, you could be right about the perverted part, especially if recent paper articles about Max are correct!

Shame on the Stewards - it should be about the racing, not about the power wielding Stewards.

Whole thing is a joke and just about trying to engineer a close climax!

Derek. Whatever you say. It's just your opinion, like I have one. And like everyone has one. I don't agree with you as you don't agree with me.

Have a nice day further.

As much as I am appalled to see this Penalty, Honestly if the other party in the incident was Hamilton and Bourdais Penalized for same incident. I am sure all the posters here spewing venom, would have slithered in quiet corner and justified how "Bourdais was wrong" and St. Lewis was right .
Double Standards is shown not only by FIA but also fans with biased loyalties

Bad Luck Sebastian .. Feel sorry for you

This decision is on a par with Spa for stupidity.
My video recording clearly shows that Bordais already has his right front over the kerb as he is squeezed by Massa. Where was Bordais supposed to go? Maybe there should be traffic lights at the end of the pit lane to allow Ferraris to pass without hindrance?
Bordais was on the racing line and fighting for position - end of.
Had Massa had the same sense as Heidfeld when this happened to him the collision would not have happened.
Massa's fault and he gets the points?
Why, with 13 laps to go when the stewards investigation was flagged up, was the decision made after the race (AGAIN). To work out how Massa could benefit?

Have to agree with the majority here. I am a Massa fan but didn't see what Bourdais could have done he had the line having emerged from the pits and I think that Massa tried an over ambatious move roun the outside. If anything it was Massa who caused the Incident but even he dind't warrent a peanility!

Not surprissed by the stupidity of the F errari I nternational A ssistance stewards. The FIA say we need more overtaking in the sport, more excitement for the fans etc. What a load of cobblers. This sport is just going down hill rapidly. It looks like that a Ferrari driver will be world champion no matter how much help they have to give, not that Ferrari needed help after seeing the opening lap. I know, you can overtake any other car but not a Ferrari as you will upset the natural order of F1, the FIA seems to like red but true fans are seeing red at the blatant bias towards Ferrari. Do you think the FIA will take note of what real fans think & want which is battle between drivers not suits

further to max whiplash claiming f1 could go bust I seriously hope so and we can rid of the cretins who organise(smacks of pxss up in a brewery)this so called elite race series of the world and do their best to fix the result if massa takes this championship god knows how many people will have to be paid off.

My understanding of the rules is that the only penalty available to the stewards, by delaying a decision until after the race, was a 10 grid spot penalty at the next race. that incident occured with 9 laps left in the race, there was plenty of time for a drive through. It seems a blatant manipulation of the result by the FIA. BTW I am not a Hamilton fan - Kimi Guy actually. Seriously, I stayed up until 2:00 a.m. here in the States to watch this race, and I am disgusted by the Ferrari bias. Max's hatred for McLaren is ruining the sport I love. Let the best man win, F1 is becoming a contrived soap opera, if I wanted that I would watch WWE.
