Massa pit stop

As GP2 is governed by FIA regulations and their drivers get punished for the same incidents by drive through penalites, the FIA punish the team with a credit crunch breaking £7k

GP2 isn't governed by the FIA and it's not the FIA punishing them either. So stop making erroneous affirmations.

You're out of your mind of course. How can you imply that it was Kimi's fault that Lewy ran into him in Canada?!

Oh and FYI the last time it happened before Valencia it was between FA and SV in Germany or Hungary I think, just to refresh your memory!

Sorry ioan but you're reading things I haven't written.

I never said it was Kimi's fault and blamed it on Lewis at the time. Feel free to demonstrate otherwise.

I did say that there was obviously a problem in Canada as Massa had missed the pit lane exit red light the year before.

I also said that if Kimi hadn't have been side by side but was lined up as he should of been, then he wouldn't have been hit but you can disagree if you wish.

My opinion is that if they were inline, Lewis would have missed them, overshot the pit lane and been penalised. Kimi would have won and that would have been that.

How many times do I have to write the same things before you read them.

Well, I said "I think" so have no evidence.

However, the reason "I think" is for 2 reasons.

1. http://www.fia.com/en-GB/sport/regul...rtingCode.aspx

Why would the FIA have GP2 at a F1 meeting if it wasn't controlling it. As you know, FIA gas to sanction all events at a meeting.

2. GP2 already complies with FIA regulations such as the cars having to undergo FIA testing etc.

Perhaps someone else can clear this up by proving who delivered those penalties to the GP2 drivers?

So, I went out and found the evidence.

I think is now fact.

53. General application of the Code
All competitions and all attempts at national, international and world records promoted in a country represented on the FIA are governed by the present Code.

You have to adhere to the FIA sporting regulations. That is what homogonization means.

Argue with the sodding FIA, not me.
