Discussion
Have I missed a rule change recently? It certainly was the case until recently that some drivers faced pretty harsh penalties for causing accidents, highlighted particularly by the penalty imposed on Montoya at Indianapolis last year which cost him any chance of the championship.
Today (stop reading if you have yet to see the Chinese race!!) Martin Brundle said that Michael Schumacher was at fault for the incident with Klien, yet there was no penalty imposed or even discussed. How can this be, surely it wasn't just the officials being kind to him due to his mistake yesterday?

In his defense, Sato did the same thing to Rubens (although the Ferrari wasn't damaged) and got away with that to.
JPM is a twat so fair dues for giving him a penalty
Seriously, the penalty system only kicks in if the Ferraris are upset and Napolean waddles over to bernie and complains...as should be the case

[gets ready to be flamed] It's very simple Andyps, you've missed the regulation at number B1N that says:
"...nothing in these regulations is to be construed as applying detrimentally to any car that is red (for the avoidance of doubt the Toyota is not deemed to be a red car for the purposes of this regulation)..."
see, very simple

I thought I missed something like that - just wanted someone to confirm it for me.

If you're talking about the Nurburgring, Charlie Whiting reviewed the video after the race and agreed that Rubens was fast asleep. Although Sato came from a long way back, he had the corner. Whiting took the time to apologise to Sato.

it was the SAME thing and I disagree with a non-penalty in BOTH cases, the only difference is that MS took KK out of the race with his lunge for the corner, the Italians just make stronger cars
Ferrari and Schumacher have earnt the privilege and the right to have small indisgressions ignored.
They came from being unreliable and sh1t in the Berger/Alesi days, to the world beaters they are today.
If ther teams/dievers want that kind of respect/privilege, they better start doing it better and harder.
Put up or shut up.

I really hope that you are taking the p1ss when you say that one team has earnt the right to punt others off.
Racing is a non contact sport. Yes, stuff happens and we all accept that, but it is still not to be encouraged. If you think that racers have no balls because they are constantly complaining that through no fault of their own they are being put in unnecessarily dangerous and expensive situations, I suggest that you give it a go yourself.

What a load of cobbl*rs, the rules should be obeyed by all equally, or there is no point in competing if you are not Ferrari.

And the copper coin drops...........
Sorry, but I don't take F1 seriously anymore.
If I had my way I'd take the speed down, put everyone in identical cars and endorse any means possible to win.
Now THAT would be entertaining.
