MASSA ESCAPES PUNISHMENT

Typical FIA and as expected, Massa gets away with or should I say Ferrari got away with it. Not only did he get to keep his win, he got off scott-free. And people wonder why the FIA is called Ferrari International Assistance or why there's so many Ferrari haters out there. I may not have been watching F1 for very long but I've seen enough to know that there is a bias towards Ferrari with the FIA. Ferrari said that they'd be surprised if they get a penalty (maybe because they own the FIA and the FIA shouldn't bite the hands that feed).

And it would seem that when Ferrari tries to cheat by using some banned or un-approved modification to their cars, it's ok (think the movable floor device in Melbourne 07) and they get away with a slap on the wrist. But if other teams try to do the same (either intentionally or not), Ferrari will jump and complain to daddy dear (that's you Max) and all sorts of punishment is meted out (in the interest of sporting fairness of course).

So, to McLaren haters or Lewis haters or other team haters (that's you with the red shirt), please wake up and take a good look at your so-called beloved team. If you cannot identify with fairness and righteousness, then continue to support Ferrari.
