well ok..but they are the ones who decide the rules...so they are the ones you have to listen to..so stewards are not really that independant as you made it sound !Quote:

All right Ioan, I conceed that you might just have something there when you say that they fined Ferrari.Quote:

No need for that, I'm happy enough with having a civilized discussion without any of the usual turn-offs.Quote:

you either have a law against releasing a car into the path of another car or you don't. you don't have liberal and less-liberal interpretations depending on the pitlane. there's one drive-thru lane and that's it.
if you extrapolate that, then ferrari attempted to gain an advantage by sending kimi out into kubica's path, kimi attempted to gain an advantage by refusing to yield when he was clearly out of position.
and, if they'd reached the red light (the cause of which has still yet to be explained by the race stewards or the FIA) one after the other instead of side-by-side, the dozers hamilton and rosberg would have had somewhere to go instead of having one of the most comical crashes in f1 history.
there is a difference between the massa and canadian incidents, i agree.
the difference is the massa one was a potentially dangerous situation with a lapped car, while the raikkonen one was an ultimately dangerous situation where they tried to eke an advantage for the race lead.
bugger all to do with the pit width, though.
As a result of it?! Or as a result of a certain driver not paying attention to where his car was going?Quote:

Cars on the pit driving lane have right-of-way over cars in, and coming out of, the pit stall..Quote:

in essence this is exactly the same situation as with Massa..I don't see much difference to be honnest...
