The Japanese GP at Fuji this year was a fairly good race. It was not without the mistakes and incidents and overtaking moves but as usual, it was spoiled by the FIA"T" in their eagerness to make sure FIArrari win at all costs. It is so obvious now that the championships (both of them) are coming down to the wire that the FIA"T" is anxious to make sure FIArrari win again even if they have to cheat in broad daylight.
First off, Lewis made a mistake and shouldn't have been too agressive given that he has the lead in the drivers championship. After all there's only 2 races to go. He should have tucked in behind Kimi after that dreadfull start and played the long game. That move just gave the FIA"T" the excuse they needed to penalise him and hand some more points to Massa. On that note, first turns in F1 are normally like that so the FIA"T" have no excuse to penalise Lewis actually. It was just another blatant attempt to help FIArrari.
Not satisfied that penalising Lewis didn't help FIArrari much because they had to penalise Massa for bumping Lewis and cutting the chicane, the FIA"T" had to find another way of giving Massa some more points. They found it in the incident with Bourdais. It should have been Massa who should be penalised but they're inherent need to make sure FIArrari came ahead of Lewis and McLaren made sure that they penalised Bourdais instead. How sickening.
Now for Massa. Earlier on last season and this season he was allright, he drove quickly and didn't talk much. For those people who just can't get enough of saying that Lewis is arrogant and talks too much, well Massa is not bad either. He's improving in the assholeness department. And his dad (who doesn't belong in the pits at every race) doesn't help either. Massa is desperate to win the championship and will do anything underhanded to achieve it (which is normal with FIArrari people anyway as was evident when they won the WDC last year in court and had the thick face to say that they deserved it). What assholes!
And speaking of assholes, the ultimate asshole (Alonso) has shown his asshole in public (again) by saying that he will support Massa for world champion. What does that mean? Does it mean he will deliberately hit Lewis in the next 2 races? Anyhting is possible with this asshole.

Hi Alvin,
I just don't get it why Lewis has not learn from the mistakes last year? Whether or not the penalty is justified, let's leave that aside, but why do such an immature move to risk your championship? Obviously he did not keep a cool head after losing the lead to Kimi, but his main rival was couple of grids behind...and all he needed to do is to at least finish 2nd in all of the remaining 3 races to secure the title.
I reckon he deserved that, who did he think he was trying to outbrake everyone on turn one? Usually turn one drama happens with the cars in the middle of the grids, but what he did really caused some drama which is avoidable.
I notice Hamilton makes mistakes when he is behind, he needs to learn to handle such pressure before he can be a real champion.
Hamilton is just driving TOO aggressive, he almost took out Heikki jumping out of Kimi's slipstream before turn one...the way he drives causes concern even among the drivers, let alone fans like us.
As for the Massa Bourdais, looking back at the replay, Massa was already ahead of the STR before the corner. He had the position even though he was outside...but obviously Bourdais did not choose to back off...
Hi John,
Even though I support Lewis, I try not to be blind like some fans out there where their driver is God and can do no wrong. So, I have to agree with you about Lewis' impatience or his un-coolness when making mistakes.
I think also that at the start he made a mistake and he should've stayed behind Kimi and not made that gung ho move. Simple one there, he made a mistake but what I'm not happy about is that he was penalised when almost every other race incidents like this happens at turn 1. It's normal, that's F1. Maybe it has something to do with Lewis leading and there's 2 races to go only for Massa? Hmm..
Hi Alvin,
In your opinion, do you think Lewis' driving is overly aggressive at times? Especially when it comes to overtaking? The incident in Monza with Webber and Glock?
And at Fuji last weekend, trying to unlapped himself with one lap to go, do you think that is necessary?
Perhaps FIA is handing this penalty to Lewis to warn him on his driving?
