    i have to side with Paul on this one the red team did wrong face it they should no have told massa to move over and let the twat thro but they did

    "alonso is faster then you DO U UNDERSTAND?" and then gos on to say sorry to massa

    so what if alsonso is faster let him pass as any other racer on the track would do

    i just hope they get striped of the race win !!!! as it was unfair and broke the rules !
    New sig coming soon

    Very poor show by Ferrari. They cheated not only by breaking the rules but also by spoiling the racing for all the spectators. A $100k fine is nothing, they should have been given grid penalties for the next race - that would have hurt them more.

    I remember back when Mika Hakkenen overtook DC back in the day, and just remember thinking, that's the worst decision i've ever seen. Drivers should be allowed to race, and when management interveens, its stopping the drivers do that. Having said that, we have absolutely no idea what the contracts say, and that may have a huge baring on it too.

    Good point raised Paul about McLaren being fined properly. The FIA has always been biased towards Ferrari as they know without them in the sport, it just wouldn't be the same, so last thing they want to do is get rid of them. I'm not a fan of Ferrari, but I have to say without the two red cars, it would just be boring!

    Thank goodness I did not fork out my hard earned pennies to attend this GP. I would have felt robbed. What about you Delboy?

    Their drivers were only allowed to compete because they were leading the championship, during that season there was a number of debatable rulings that meant that a Ferrari driver ended up winning the drivers championship. I still think Hamilton strange gearbox problem in the final race was very suspect.
    so how did you feel about that then????????????

    Disappointed for Hamilton and Alonso, but if the team cheated they should be punished.

    So being a Ferrari fan is like supporting Man United at football then, I wasn't concerned I was just highlighting your lack of knowledge.

    Can you imagine if you had put a bet on for massa to win with alonso 2nd... I think I would be livid and want Ferrari to pay out what the bookie would have as it is their cheating that caused the loss of winnings

    Personally, I feel sorry for Massa, its the end of his career as a potential No.1 driver for any of the top teams
