As far as Massa’s fiasco, the replay showed that the man at the bonnet of Massa’s car cleared him for take off, so why was the refuelling hose still coupled? The final straw came when at turn 18 (I was standing right at the track) where I happened to be after walking from the paddocks. Alonso was cruising with a 23-second lead when Adrian Sutil shunted his Force India into the wall, bringing the safety car out again and wiping out the Spaniard’s advantage. Sutil literally slowed to a crawl at turn 18 and deliberately drove his car into the softest part of the turn. For any driver watching it wasn’t technical or a problem with the car. He slowed down to a crawl and literally drove it into the water containers so as to have little damage to the car. This instantly wiped the 23 second lead of Alonso that obviously made Hamilton look like a real moron. This once again brought out the safety car in an attempt to now wipe Alonso and Rosberg’s lead and allow Hamilton to place. At this point Raikkonen had just about enough. His accident looked like a race control-induced crash as he took himself out to prove a point.

Rubens Barichello the gentleman of the sport knew what was coming and decidedly retired early with an “electrical problem” a euphemism for this is going to be an Ecclestone circus and I will opt out thank you very much. Jaro Trulli who was also in a lead on lap 28 after a safety car shuffle decided to retire with “hydraulic problems” rather than be told to damage his car.

This sport really has become a sham and a hollow shell of what it used to be. 7 manufacturers are left and only 20 drivers. This Ecclestone has single handily brought down F1. Hamilton is a useless driver, all he did was sit in the car as others ( which looked like race control paid off the the various teams to trash their cars) did the work for him. It was disgraceful and shameless, Hamilton certainly doesn’t deserve the accolades or to be on the podium. Hence the reason why he’s so hated by the other drivers on the F1 circuit and the GP circuit to boot. He doesn’t belong. But what can you do when a short myopic senile man is running F1 as a dictator.
