    First of all you still did not answer my question...

    How was Kimi's race ruined by Lewis?

    Second I said Lewis should have tucked in behind Kimi and should have waited at a later time to pass. Yes I think he did a mistake. How am I bias?

    What Lewis did was done before him by many other drivers and I'm sure will happen again, nothing new for F1 or any other kind of racing.

    Now how and why should he be penalised for a mistake which technically did no harm to anyone but himself (flat spots)?

    Heinfeld said so himself... Lewis did not warrant a penalty oh and BTW neither did Bourdais.

    Yes Kimi ended behind Alonso and Kubica but he had the whole race to pass him and he couldn't big deal! Either the Ferrari sucks or Kimi suck! However since Kimi recorded some of the fastest times until Massa bettered him towards the end of the race. You make your own opinion on how Kimi drove this race and the rest of his season so far.

    Third, like it as been reported elsewhere, it was Heikki that made contact with Kimi's car and actually forced Kimi to go off track. So why wasn't Heikki penalised?

    By far the most aggressive driver on the track that weekend and the one that should have gotten IMHO a 10 spot penalty on the grid for this upcoming race is Massa.

    This guy is a total "Cry Baby" and a total loose nut when he get emotional and he's no where as good as driver as Lewis is under any circumstances.

    Let us look at the facts for the Japanese GP for Massa.

    Incident number one... He short cuts the chicane to try to take back his position from Lewis (illegal) goes four wheels off (two in the grass/dirt and two on the curbing). He then punts Lewis in the <left rear section of the car</b> and spins him around. In the process he damages Lewis' car. To use your own words, if that's not dive bombing what is? Now because of this he cuts across the track and goes off track onto the grass on the other side and cuts that section of the race track. So in this one incident Massa managed to do more harm to one competitor than Lewis did in the whole race. He also pulled off one perhaps two illegal moves because as Lewis found out in Spa, going off track is illegal.

    Incident number two... The Bourdais incident. Both drivers and teams were specifically told in Singapore and in Japan by the Race Director that the cars coming out of the pits have priority. Massa who had a much faster car couldn't wait a corner or two to take him so he tangles with Bourdais in the first corner at pit exit.

    Incident number three... Massa who again as a much faster car than Webber decides to pass him and after a few weaving manoeuvres from both drivers Massa passes him inside the white line (all four wheels) of the pit exit lane. Again this is considered a no, no and is considered going off track normally.

    So why wasn't Massa assed a harsher penalty (ies)?

    As for the Trulli-Hamilton incident I can't comment more then to say that if true, I guess Lewis should have let him go by but possibly the only reason Lewis couldn't drive as well was that his car was damaged by Massa at the beginning of the race.
