Wow, this Belgian GP row has not died down one bit. In fact, it's gotten stronger. Comments from all sides, from fans to drivers to ex-drivers to stewards have been flying all over the place. Today, a statement from one of the stewards shows that the penalty was just based on a FIA"T" ruling that states simply that a car must always be on the track at all times.
If a car leaves the track for whatever reason, that car gets a penalty. Simple as that. Their conclusion to the penalty did not have any other factors taken into account. Funny, I seem to remember seeing half a dozen other cars left the track on the opening lap, including Massa. Why don't those other cars get penalties too?
I'm glad McLaren are going ahead with the appeal. We've got to show the FIA"T" that they can't push us fans around anymore to protect their sweety FIArrari to keep winning championships until kingdom come.
This weekend is the Monza race and the stewards here better be careful. It is FIArrari home ground. Yes, McLaren did beat the shit out of FIArrari here last year but at that time it didn't matter because they've already got 1 championship in the bag, albeit they didn't do it on the track where it counts. So, this year they don't have much leverage left but to call on their ever dependable bitch, the FIA"T".
