F1 - Biased or what
carbore:
More gossip.
Allegedly the rule states if you cut a corner and gain an advantage
a) you must relinquish it (lets say he did)
b) you must not overtake on the next corner (and he did so maybe thats valid and its not an obvious rule hence post race as opposed to during it)
However as the person he overtook did not finish then he has no advantage over anyone else so why penalize him, I saw in the background the other Ferrari was all 4 wheels off the track round a bend so the "if there was a wall there" argument is not valid.
I have stuck black tape over the Logos on my Acer Ferrari laptop by the way. Also I once got a load of promo Ferrari t-shirts and im glad I used them as rags to polish my Lotus.

Fair enough if they did break the rules but then Ferrari broke them in Valencia but didn't get a penalty.
As for Schumakker; yes he was good but not the best; he only got his records because Sena died.

So did anyone else see it today?
What a farce, it seems the stewards have their red tinted glasses on again, so they can't see red cars being naughty :evil:
What about pooor old Bordais? minding his own business and gets tipped off by a ferrari, then gets penalised. I guess we should be glad they didn't dock Hamilton the points for that escapade too.
Or have you all got so fed up with the clearly biased "change the rules to suite red cars" FIA that you've stopped watching?

yea watched and must say that one of them red cars that went off the track then hit lewis making him spin off then he could not rejoin till last postion and hamilton gets a drive through for it..... think i will go back to watching ralling and touring cars no red tinited glasses in that.

We were deep sea; no picture for the live race and having read how blatant the stewards had been again I couldn't be bothered to watch the replay.
Maybe this is why Max Mosely is suddenly trying to cut costs; the audiences are dropping because of what the FIA are doing so there is less sponsorship available.
Not only that but i suspect that the big sponsors will be questioning if they want to be associated with a clearly corrupt sport.
