Was indeed a very dull race.
Massa deserved to win and I don't think McLaren had any answers today, but a very good containing job by Hamilton, damage limitation.
It does appear that Ferrari seem to be able to write their own rule book, I would have expected a stop-go, as others have said, any other team would have got this.
Still not Massa's fault. I don't think Massa will get any penalty at all now, if any penalty is dished out I expect it to be -10 from the constructors' total and maybe a fine.

What a bag of shite.
Kimis just given up. I think Ferrarri have upset him and hes being mardy.
Im sure he wont be there next year or perhaps he already knows he wont.
Somethings not right with him.
Lewis poor lad was feeling unwell....bless him...hes a brave little soldier isnt he?

He was beaten fair and square today, no need for excuses and he should be happy that he still has a 6 point lead.

I've seen a few close shaves in the pit lane
But I can't recall anyone getting a penalty where no place was lost or no contact occurred - am I right in that?
Even Hamilton rear ending Kimi at Montreal only resulted in a ten place demotion for the next race iirc - and that was surely a vastly more serious offence

In Montreal, Ferrari had done exactly the same thing: they released Raikonnen whilst Kubica was coming down the pit lane, which is why they were stopped side by side at the end of the pit lane, and why Hamilton couldn't avoid hitting them (not saying he wasn't entirely to blame BTW). I don't remember any suggestion of a penalty for Raikonnen or Ferrari in that instance.
