Typical!!!

Ferrari get off with just a fine which they can easily afford, makes me wonder how much Stefano is back-handing to the FIA..

And Massa’s comments that Sutil should have let him past, you can tell that he’s been taking lessons from Schumacher…

lol JLF true say, but he really does hate them himself.

I have bets with friends on how many times he pinches his nose during the conferences, hilarity ensues (providing beers on tap)

The mechanics are not paid enough to risk their lives like they are now forced to do in every Grand Prix. Lets get the racing and overtaking back on the track and out of the pitlane.

“If I was Ferrari i’d make Kimi do more press conferences as punishment.”
Sorry Sush but i feel that would punish us a lot more than Kimi his monotone just makes my eyes glaze over.

Fine for Ferrari, Massa gets off free and the FIA gets it wrong on every count

I agree with Robert that it was inappropriate for Massa to blame it on Sutil. Ferrari has a flawed system of not employing a lollipop man, and he expects people to stop their races to give him way in the pits.

Massa did the right thing by not pushing to get ahead on the pit exit and take the place on the track. This is right, however to expect Sutil to just stop and give him way at the pits is just wrong (he is nicer, may be it’s not arrogance).

Otherwise, just a stunning drive from Massa from the get go.

Fining Ferrari was the best decision, in my opinion.

Ferrari should return back to using the lollipop. At least a lollipop man can call judgement to when to release the driver – instead of light signals simply telling the driver that all attention on the car has finished.
