Ferrari did something which is really unusual, unsaefe release and Massa was hanging the whole pitlane with the fuel hose... Stunning how they managed to spoil both drivers race O_O!! How much they needed to decide what penalty they shall apply? A lot!! And for me seems that they were struggling on what to decide for him, to me looks that the drive through penalty was even not that strict for all what happened there, I do not mean he should be DNF, but well... Just a drive through??? So, it looks this time, the decission was made to remain the championship still hot. I'm happy Nico Rosberg took the advantage from this situation, but Robert Kubica coudln't do that much, the thing is that they were commited to do what the stewards asked them, and it was too late... Giving big chances for remain their original race strategy but helped by the little distances between all of them provided by the Safety Car. <abbr><em>Kotenoks last blog post..<a href="http://f1wolf.ning.com/profile/azrildeadman" rel="nofollow">azril deadman</a></abbr></em> Well, the conditions were not easy for the stewards to judge all the issues at once.
