F1 - Biased or what

--- Quote from: R2D2 on October 13, 2008, 11:45:43 ---No mention was made after the race about Massa having all four wheels the wrong side of the solid white line (which define the race circuit) down the finish straight to pass someone for a place, :shock: :shock: and proceed over the chevron area and into the pit exit lane :evil: :evil:

If the FIA noticed they'd probably award the other guy's points to Massa too.

this is a very anti ferrari thread :|

i cant beleive bourdais was penalised for taking the racing line to defend his place as he came out of the pits, if anyone was at fault i think it was massa.
raikenen did it a few laps earlier, but he wasnt penalised - admittedly the other driver in that one was looking where he was going and didnt do what massa did
i do think hamilton deserved his penalty for the 1st corner incident, that was wild and reckless and could have caused much more carnage in the rest of the field
as for massas penalty, it was hardly justice for ruining the rest of hamiltons race due to aerodynamic damage caused by being rammed off the road

The best bit of the Japanese Grand Prix was after 2 weeks of Hamilton saying he won't make anymore mistakes this season and that he will drive for points rather than wins to ensure the championship... As soon as the lights go out, he gets a severe case of red mist and screws up his own race!!!! Hilarious!!
Talk about F1 being biased, people only ever talk about Hamilton. It's Hamilton this, Hamilton that. There are 21 other drivers too! Some of them as good, if not better than Hamilton, who just happens to be in one of the best (if not the best) cars on the grid! No surprise he does well really. Kubica would probaly win loads if he drove a Maclaren too (for example)...
I don't remember Mansell, Hill, Coulthard or Button being lauded as the new Christ when they started in F1!!
I think more people are wearing Hamilton tinted glasses than red tinted glasses...
IMO

Yes I am a McLaren fan but I am not anti Ferrari; I just believe that the rules should be applied evenly to all the teams not in favour of one team - as it stands Ferrari unquestionably get a more lenient application.
I agree that there are some outstanding drivers in the grid now; Kubica is one but also Vettel and Glock would fly in the right cars.
Lets be honset Massa is fast but there is no way he would be where he is without the car OR without the help from the FIA.
