Just something I thought about...Massa was released to early..drove next to Sutil..so Fia says...Not allowed...penalty....even if it was just a fine....In Canada..i see Kimi ending up next to and on the left side of Robert when leaving the pit...so wasn't he also released to early? did he ever got a penalty ? Even if it was just a fine like in Valencia ?Quote:

Arrows, you watched F1 for so many years, you know it full well that it's up to the stewards to hand out a penalty, even the ones related to technical issues.Quote:

It's been like this for so many years, and I think it will stay like this from now on too, simply because it's the right solution.
Also these stewards are independent of the FIA unlike the technical and race directors. So the people saying that it's the FIA's inconsistency are clearly talking rubbish.
What? Where did MS go down the pitlane alongside another car and there was a penalty?Quote:

Year and race required, as I'd like to verify the facts.
Because if it depends on the team and not the driver they can't hand out a drive through to the driver, so they fine the team, or deduct a quantity of their championship points.Quote:

You really need to watch more F1 and try to understand what, when and why happens.
than you should write autosport.com as they put in wrong in there headlineQuote:

They are appointed by the FIA to do this for the week end, but are not on contract with the FIA for it and they also can refuse doing it.

well they might be so called "independant" but in the end it is FIA who hands out there licenses to be a steward...Quote:
