It's just standard fare now. Have an accident, regardless of blame, get drive through.

I'm sure this shit never used to be as bad as it is?

I won't miss it for that next year.

Except in this case there was blame, Lewis took him out pure and simple. Not deliberately but that doesn't make a difference.

My issue is Lewis is damned no matter what he does. Last race "not aggressive enough, where's the old Lewis" this race "silly mistakes etc etc."

I just plain feel sorry for the dude. He's getting it from every angle. I really hope he has a front running car under him next year & can do a vet & not have to worry about overtaking.

I think its symptom of his aggressive driving style and an organising body that seems to have a need that requires they're centre of attention all of the time. As I said, they want exciting races with lots of overtaking but fail to acknowledge that that means there will be incidents, then when those incidents happen they have to put a foot in rather than let it sort itself out on the circuit.

Again, as I said previously, Hamilton had to re-pit for a new front wing, thats a long enough punishment for his actions surely? Okay, Massa had to pit too, but only for another set of tyres.

Yes it does, it was a racing incident, hardly on par with (for example) Schuamcher versus Barrichello.

Re Wev

And it's the fact that he always gets a penalty yet when something happens to him nothing. Even if every decision is correct it just FEELS so off.

Well, yes there is that, he does seem to get an awful lot of penalties where as some drivers get away scott free, same was happening to Di Resta at the beginning of the season, Kobi too, it seems the drivers who like to attack are punished, those who defend aggressivly (looking at Schumacher) get away with it.

Driving straight into the back of another innocent car and ruining its race is not a "racing incident".

Fighting for position, one car lifts off a little early, the other turns in, he clipped his rear wheel with his front wing. Of course they have some idea where their wing is, but they can't see it properly, these things happen when you're battling.

How about the Nico-Perez-Schumacher incident? Who's at fault there? Very similar, and if the FIA are consistent Rosberg should be punished.
