You're not exactly gaining a performance advantage worth having if your fast-but-fragile gearbox breaks before you get any reward for it. I think it’s the latter, Daniel.

I mean, the car/driver who finishes, but only needs a gearbox change, is more reliable, and spends less money, than the one who has, i.e., an engine failure, and needs or wants to change his gearbox... so, doing this, they're punishing the more realible and less costy driver... Or dou you think that punishing the one who already DNF's would be a "bis in idem" (in english, double jeopardy) (double punishment for the same fact)?

Kimi was stright back onto the pace following his pit stop as despite the heavier fuel and cold tyres he was in the 1min 36s immediately whereas Felipe was in the 1min 37s and that wasn't so different to Nick Heidfeld who dropped a well over a second after his pitstop too... This implies that Kimi, who didn't do a full clear lap for the stats after Felipe came in but before pitting, was probably able to circulate faster than he had and could have been closer to the 1min 34s he had done in Q2 the day before.... So Kimi had bided his time and been able to storm past without help from anyone except the usual slick pitwork from the Ferrari crew... Kimi immediately pulled out a 4 second gap to Massa in the second stint which Massa had no way of getting back unless a safety car had been called out...
