I could see the logic behind the Magny Cours penalty, but this seems a little far fetched.

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

I couldn't agree more with the above statement. I believed F1 was finally about the racing again where the best driver and team would win the championship, but alas, that's not possible. McLaren were to be within 1pt of Ferrari, and Hamilton would have - deservedly - been 8pts ahead in the drivers race.Originally Posted by Jack_Bauer;829992Enormously controversial decision, one which I'm sure will cause much consternation for weeks to come and potentially cast a negative shadow over the whole of this year's driver's championship.

F1 is going down the shitters, it's a sad reality.
Make a statement and make your way to the Le Mans Series race at Silverstone next week!

This is ridiculous.

it was a beautiful 35 seconds.

that's what she said
If Massa "cut a chicane", the stewards would have ignored it.
It was either, cut the chicane or crash. Hamilton did what was logic

When I first heard about the possible punishment to Hamilton, I thought it was unnecessary, he cut the chikane but let Räikkönen past again on the straight. Now that I looked the replay over and over again, I agree with the stewards and Räikkönen that Hamilton did gain from cutting the track. Sure Kimi got past him but just enough to say he was past, and it definately affected his driving line throughout the straight.
That said, 25 seconds still sounds a bit much.
Shame about Räikkönen's dnf though, he could have taken it very easy and finished second - first after Hamilton's penalty. Now, this may have turned a very important race concerning the rest of his career.
From memory of the race, I felt Hamilton did the right thing in giving the position back (mostly) and then passing Kimi again a corner or two later. Why the penalty is even imposed if Kimi DNF's though? I don't get it.
