FIA"T" COCK UP AT BELGIUM

From after the race to today, the whole F1 world has been abuzz with the FIA"T"s biased decision to hand Lewis Hamilton a 25s penalty in the Belgian GP thereby handing the race win to Felipe Massa, who didn't deserve the win by the way he was driving that day.

McLaren are keeping their cool and trying to prepare for the next race at Monza, FIArrari's home ground, where they thrashed FIArrari last year, by the way. Meanwhile, it seems that the stewards who pounced on Lewis so quickly (they never work this fast when it concerns FIArrari i.e. Massa at Valencia) appears to be made up of questionable people and as expected and debated by many, didn't even bat an eyelid when Kimi overtook under a yellow flag. Also, they may have made an error of fact when trying to justify the crappy penalty with their rules.

Anthony Hamilton, has rightly questioned the FIA"T" for their flip-flop management of F1. When races are boring, a procession they change the rules to make it more exciting and promote overtaking but when the drivers are racing and overtaking, the get penalised. What is it you want to do FIA"T"?

And Sir Jackie Stewart has again condemned the FIA"T" for their good work in managing the sport, if we can call it a sport anymore. A lot of people have indicated that they are disgusted by the FIA"T" and some are leaving F1 for other sports. I'm contemplating that too but I think I will stay on just to see Lewis become champion and McLaren beat FIArrari nomatter how hard the FIA"T" try to win the championship for them.
