A lot of fuss has been made recently about all sorts of regulations that, even when broken, have never bothered people in the past. It is time that the FIA was, once and for all, more even in the enforcement of rules and the application of penalties in relation to them. This reminds me so much of the bargeboards issue in the mid-1990s, which suddenly achieved ridiculous prominence and unfounded accusations of deliberate cheating when it was nothing of the sort.

if FIA uses the same logic for at least one weekend they should fine the teams not the drivers.

as with Hamilton on friday it isn't the drivers fault...

Could be fair. Anyway, no matter what they do, someone here will complain that they are biased :rolleyes:

And the FIA's running of the sport will have to be looked at, and if it means a change at the top (Mosley), then so be it

It does raise the question, at what have we been looking at for the past 17 races if both championships has been decided offtrack?

According to my experience, FIA never penalise the same mistake (or error) in the same way. Don't be suprised if drivers are penalised in this case. :D

There are, of course, those who labour under the mistaken belief that this is the case anyway, despite the complete lack of actual evidence. Personally, I'm sick of seeing this view expressed.

I agree with you, though — any change to the championship standings as a result of this would render the season pretty worthless and leave a nasty taste in the mouth.
