And anyone who knows me knows how much I love F1 but this run of Ferrari bias, and I can't think of any other way to explain the recent (and not so recent) stewards decisions, is completely ruining the sport.
I watched a great race today where a brilliant driver messed up his race in the first few laps, looked down and out as a guy who's been up against it most of the season finally comes good again, only for the weather to change and 5 or so great laps with rough, toe-to-toe action resulted in one winner and another in the wall. Only for the stewards to mess it all up with a frankly absurd decision. What exactly did the 'advantage' Hamilton get him? Raikkonen had overtaken him again before he crashed off and Raikkonen had also ran into the back of him. Massa was never going to catch him and you can't argue he might if Hamilton hadn't cut that corner as I know plenty of other people cut corners over those last few laps and because they weren't directly battling with someone they get no penalty.
The whole sport's completely being ruined by this idiocy.
Rant over! (for now....)
