F1 Stewards should be shot... (spoilers)

shimric · 10-12-2008, 05:36 AM

I.... wow. I watched the Fuji race this morning only to see Hamilton get t-boned by mr. douchebag massa and he only gets hit with a drive thru. Shoulda been a stop & go imo. Hamilton gets hit with a drive thru as well for some bs FIA & stewards came up with about him running kimi off the track, even though hekki ran kimi off track. Hamilton and Raikkonen’s Fuji clash - the penalty they got wrong (Video) | F1 Fanatic - The Formula 1 Blog | F1 news, cars, drivers and more Yea, what the ****.

Only to later see Hekki's motor blow. I don't know if it's just me but Massa doesn't seem like he's one of the best out there when he's not up front because he makes some bonehead n00b moves. Doesn't seem very "world class" IMO Now Fernando,.. even though I really don't like him, at least he drives like a professional despite his position in the race. Good job on his part btw. Hamilton is the same way, if he's not on the front row and doesn't get to turn 1 first his inner idiot seems to shine.

Oh, and lets not forget when Bourdais was coming out of the pits minding his own only to realize some stupid ass Brazilian isn't really paying attention and creams him, and he gets hit with a penalty?!?!? WTF FIA. That incident happened with over 20 minutes left in the race but they had to wait until AFTER the race to make a decision?!?!?! Completely bias BS. Why do I even watch F1..... May as well just declare Massa & Ferrari the winners of this years WCC & WDC because they'll get it one way or another.

FIA Stewards are a joke.

And that's why I don't bother with following F1.

yeah it does seem very inconsistent from race to race, it's almost like the make the rules up as they go. I think it was after spa one of the commentators mentioned if they had a panel of ex f1 drivers make up the stewards panel plus one local maybe that would work out better.

I was watching the race last night and caught the first 10 laps than passed out and woke up with only 11 to go, I blame the 120min dogfishhead IPA that I got

I quit watching. even Nascar is better put together than this cluster****. It is sad how badly people can mess up what should be the best racing in the world. No question the cars are doing their jobs...now the powers that be need to get their heads out of their asses.
