Answer 2

Yes, the stewards got it wrong. The bottom line is that it was dangerous, and they were only lucky to not have had an accident in the pitlane. Had the Ferrari ploughed into the sidepod of the Force India and spun the car(s) around and mowed down a few pitcrew, or caused a massive fire, there will be a lot of fingerpointing, headlines, and one minute silences.

The FIA were too gutless to not set a sensible precedent - instead, they opted for a riduculous one - 10,000 Euro fine.

It wasn't Massa's fault - he can't see the traffic in the pitlane behind him - the rear mirror view is blocked by the pitcrew. It's the responsibility of the lollipop man, but Ferrari only has the "traffic light" indicator which turns green when the fuel nozzle comes off - NOT WHEN THE PITLANE IS CLEAR AND SAFE TO GO.

That traffic light system Ferrari has needs to be revised, or simply banned.

I hope FIA will get it right soon, hopefully before someone dies in the pitlane.

I'm a Ferrari fan by the way.

Answer 3

.

I think on reflection that Ferrari should incur a penalty otherwise they can do the same again with only a 1 euro fine and 4 doughnuts going to the FIA.

The consequence of this "fine" is perhaps next time someone will get hurt or killed due to FIA kiddy gloves.

I still think it's good that FM won though!
