anything deemed to be making an unfair advantage?

as for the weight, they have to make minimum weight to be legal or else they get dropped for fielding an illeligable car

it's all done in post race scrutinering, that's why the first 3 cars p[ark up where they do so they are the first to get weighed etc

team orders like that were banned very soon afterwards, but kimi made it pretty clear that hewould do what the team expected of him should he be in front of massa going towards the end of the race

team orders are one thing, individuals doing what the feel like on the race track is something else altogether

Wow that was boring wasnt it

Bourdais should have a penalty for that, not for the Massa incident!

Ferarri blatently cheated today yet I bet they dont get any penalty

I am talking about when Kimi "allowed" Massa to pass.
They admitted it in the press conference too.
It is against FIA rules !!!

First race I've watched in ages mainly due to getting bored of the adverts and thought it was nicely done from Hamilton. Nothing special happening towards the front but he did what he had to so lets hope he takes it now.

Being hearing the likes of Alonso, Jenson Babboon etc slagging Lewis off, any reason for this or just jealousy/anger? As I say not watched much of it.

LOL, boring race ??? Maybe, but I bet you would not say that if a fiat won it

Massa was lucky to come third PMSL

At least they kept it all together , including the fuel rig.

Great result

I bet Kimi so wanted to let Massa past Seeing the press interview afterwards should of gained them both either a 25 second penalty or a -10 placing at the next race. Like Massa would of over took him Fuck wits

Nice one Lewis
