I agree. It seems the FIA has 2 sets of rules, one for McLaren and the other for Ferrari (and to a certain extent other teams as well). There are so many examples over the years especially when it comes to Ferrari. To me, Ferrari is so dominant sometimes because of outside help. It just makes F1 sick by not being able to enjoy seeing the best man and team win on the track, instead it has outside help.

How many times have we seen loose brake lights, loose front wings, etc… without a forced stop or black flag. I do think Ferrari gets special treatment, but the precident was set with the prior events. How could they rule otherwise?

The incident with the Ferrari was not usual, I never saw before that an exhaust joint just melted and broke, I would say this happens a single time in 500 races, because the motor parts are really well fixed. What about not showing him the black flag with orange dot, well that was strange and more than curious when you hear that Ferrari believes the exhaust remainings will just jump away in any moment. That’s work of stewards, marshals and their cheaifs don’t take any decission about it except noticing the problem and advising the race control (and always the TV broadband is there for it).
So Kimi should have seen that flag once the marshals just noticed there was something hanging there and provoking danger to the public and race competitors. They surely didn’t advice of that situation… It’s really strange to be about running 20 laps with a problem, and suddenly see that flag, what about the 20 laps before? Didn’t have a problem then??? Just the race conrol didn’t know about it at the right moment.

About Trulli’s closing the door, well it is allowed while the other car didn’t pass yours, so this is a legal defending movement. Anyway, I don’t think Trulli atacked in a desperate way, he was aproaching a very fast corner and another car comes besides not allowing you to catch the propper race line, one thing you try to get the race line before or second thing is you slow down. Did Heikki do that? Did Trulli do that Also? Both did the same, even if looks like Jarno comes closer and closer, and seems they touch each other, to that’s clearly not a dirty movement of Jarno Trulli, it looks more like he needs to get wide to catch the corner without crashing both cars in it. Bacause the sudden movement isn’t left, it is to right giving Kovalainen space, I think Jarno believed that Heikki was going to spoil both race then.
Looking Kovalainen now, ne did miss the turn so he was too fast, almost touched the grass on the battle and that could be race end for both drivers being so close. He did manage to sneak on the left side of the Toyota while it was getting the race line, and then find himself closed by the grass lesft, the Toyota at the right side and the end of the straight in front. So just passed cutting the corner, there was no other way.

I would say that’s a battle, and not a meaning of investigation, Jarno clearly gives space to Heikki when they’re in the corner’s entry and Heikki just missed the corner because was too fast.

As for truli, regardless of whether or not he actually touched wheels, he definitely made a very definite “jerk” out towards kovy as kovy was in the process of actually overtaking him. Personally i don;t think that was hard racing – I see no difference between that and brake-testing someone. If it had been schumi – people would have been up in arms, but because it was poor old truli (who got well and truly stitched up here a few years ago – which subsequently led to him being dropped by renault – quite rightly in my opinion!), and because it’s very good for F1 for toyota to finally get a podium, and incidentally because god forbid the FIA give a ruling in favour of Mclaren, Truli gets no penalty. I thought it was a really nasty little move, he thought it was something he could get away with, and he did – which to me makes it all the worse.
