Amendment

It has now came to light that Massa will keep his win, he will keep his points and he has been issued with a 10,000 Euro fine and a "Reprimand"...

Ha ha...

Okay then so £8000 GBP and a slapped wrist, lets put that into perspective:

Massa earns what?... £16 Million per year?

18 races, that works out at roughly £90,000 per race lets say.

70 laps per race (Roughly)

That is £1,300 per lap (Still very rough figures here people, bear with me)

It would take young Felipe just over 6 laps to earn that money back.

"THE INCIDENT INVOLVING CAR 2 WILL BE INVESTIGATED AFTER THE RACE"

Roughly translated...

"GIVE US TIME TO THINK OF AN EXCUSE SO WE DONT HAVE TO PENALISE FERRARI"

2 drive through penalties where apparently handed out in saturdays GP2 Euro Grand Prix for exactly the same thing, yet for F1, not applicable, numerous years ago, Williams where handed a drive through penalty for this, and there was me thinking the FIA wanted to stamp this kind of thing out of the sport?

What do you think of that Bleacher Creatures?
