It really does call into question the whole concept of drivers racing one another. if the FIA feel the way they do about overtaking then they might as well just abandon the race altogether and simply have a series of time trials as with qualifying? What possible incentive would Hamilton have had to try and overtake Kimi had he known that, apparently, overtaking a Ferrari is now an illegal move.
Better still, they should just get rid of any element of competition and just hand the titles to Ferrari on the first day of the season.
And now i hear that teams may be unable (according to FIA rules) to appeal against a drive-through penalty.
This really is bollocks. I'll be the first to complain that football is hampered by bad refereeing decisions, but at least they have to make on the spot decisions. Here, with all the benefit of technical data, action replays, interviews with the teams, etc, that they can still make such a ridiculous decision just tells you something's wrong.
Like you, I'll never stop watching F1, but it's on days like this that I really do ask myself why I would want to continue with a sport that is now about as even-handed as the Eurovision Song Contest.
