My opinion. A good race but sickening politicisation of the sport.

The start my opinion is all 3 were to blame. Kimi squeezed Hamilton and if you look at his line and speed and ignore him not locking up I don't think Kimi would have made the corner and is just pointing the finger at hamilton. Kovalainen actually blocked Kimi which was just as bad as whatever Hamilton was supposed to have done. Interestingly Massa seemed to see it coming a mile off and took a completely different line through the corner to the other 3. In anycase even if Hamilton was to blame I'm against these silly petty engineering of results by the stewards. People got the start wrong. So what? It meant we had a fight between Alonso, Kubica, etc. That's life.

Massa and Hamilton. I wouldn't ordinarily advocate penalising someone, however as ferrari have made the most dubious of political appeals on chicanes I think as he didn't bother to take the corner and didn't yield any places to anybody Massa should have got not a drive throught but a stop and go. For taking Hamilton down he gets DSQed. If it be proved ala 1994 and 1997, bye bye Massa, you're written out of history.

Massa and Bourdais, could see this fake outrage coming a mile off. Bourdais did nothing wrong. Just political meddling. Massa had various dodgy moves and tried to claw the places back. On the day he just wasn't fast enough. Why ferrari worry that much I don't know. It's traditional for McLaren to mess up near the end of the season so why the need for all the blatent cheating from Massa and his cronies I don't know.
