Button and penalties

[jimmystratos]

How long will it be before Button is hit with some random, trumped-up penalties to restore a facade of competition to this year's title race?

If he carries on like he has been going, he won't make the careless mistakes that give the excuse to trump up penalties.

Ross Brawn stole the Ferrari 2009 plans that they'd agreed with the FIA when he left in 2006?

"All teams not unconditionally signed up for 2010 are not eligible for WDC/WCC points in 2009." - small print, FIA statement, tomorrow.

From the guy that was pushing the medals system - how ironic...

Season would be pretty much over by now!

They'll probably do a turn around and ban diffusers!

I think they already did him in 2005.

New fuel tank anyone?

No, i think that's all over. In the past two years i was questioning how come the black bloke keeps getting unprecedented penalties, but it became clear it was the Max v Ron personal battle.

McL and LH scoring the biggest own goal of all time at the start of this season seems to have put a cap on things.
