Formula One Goes Sucks!

Starting to watch f1 in 1994, and crazy about f1 since 2002. I can say that i’m the big fan of f1. But a couple of controvesy in F1, had make me think that F1 nowadays is sucks.

Of course it all started with last year McLaren-Ferrari spy scandal where FIA act a double standard with the Renault-McLaren spy scandal, which Mclaren excluded in the championship cause they caught on possesing and reading Ferrari’s material without any proof that they use and applicate those data (cause FIA don’t want to inspect McLaren current car, which McLaren itself ask). While Renault were not punished cause they did not find the data is useful for they car, and some of the data they cannot be red. And ofcourse, after FIA inspect their current car.

And after relieves from the sickness of FIA, Valencia GP proof that F1 really favour on ferrari. At the incident that involving Massa and Sutil, all the commentator soon comment that Massa should be punished by the mistaken of the lollipop man has made. It was clearly that Massa should be punished  by drive through penalty, because a couple years ago, such incident outcome with a drive through penalty to the driver in Massa’s position . And, after bizarrely postponed it decision on that incident, the stewards finally only punished him with the fine.

And now, after a thrilling final stage of Belgian GP, the stewards again make a terribly controversy decision, by giving a 25 seconds penalty (which is a substitute of drive through penalty) to race winner Lewis Hamilton. Which is bizarre, cause a drive through penalty couldn’t be given in 3 laps to go. And that “racing incident”  had been cleared up by Hamilton give the way to raikkonen. And I wonder if Hamilton did not cut the chicane, he may crash with raikkonen, and again, punished with drive through penalty. Even the commentator said that it’s been cleared by hamilton let raikkonen pass through the finnish line of that lap. I can say for sure that this decision will only made every driver to think thousand of times to overtake another car, especially with the current system point.

Another old case that still kept on my mind is, Michelin controversy after the Hungarian GP in 2003. After dominating a couple of races, especially on the wheel of Williams, FIA changed the rule of checking the size of tyre, to the end of the race. Of course it given the disadvantage to Michelin which character is to expand after the race. And finally, this midle season rule change had made a huge disadvantage to Williams, which is on fire after its great performance at that time, and losing the driver and constructor championship to Ferrari.

And with the current system point,current hamilton-win-in-belgian-gp-stripped-away case, I can say for sure that f1 race day will be a boring-convoi-car-driven-by-a-robot race.

Is it what FIA want?
