In my opinion, F1 is getting more and more "kelong". They started getting into this when they realized people were getting bored with Michael Shumacher winning race after race, year after year, so they started to intervene by changing the technical rules to make Ferrari less competitive. It worked, and led to Renault and Alonso winning their two world titles. And fans started to get confused with the rules changing every year, with tires having to last one race in one year, then teams have to use two different tires in each race in current rules. Next year, teams will be using slick tires again, after 11 years, together with front wings that can move, and KERS which is like the "Turbo Boost" that we get in video games! Now, the FIA is using "penalties" to control the outcomes of races, to ensure that nobody will be running away with the championship before the last race of the season. It started in 2005, when Shumi "parked" his Ferrari at the last hairpin in Monaco during qualifying, and he was deemed to have impeded Alonso on his flying lap.

Fast forward to this season. Hamilton has like what, 6 penalties against him already, like 1 penalty per 2 races! Ok, about half of those he deserved to have due to his somewhat immaturity on track. But his first corner maneuver in Japan, what's wrong with that? Haven't we seen Shumi do that like countless times in the good old days? For goodness sake, Alonso did that during his epic dogfights with Shumi during those better days too! Hasn't been the FIA trying to encourage more overtaking and on-track excitement! Sharks man! And why is Bourdais penalized for defending his position when exiting the pits? Massa spun because he turned into Bourdais's car, which was in front of him! Clear bias of the FIA towards Massa / Ferrari! Those wusses at FIA think that fans would like the excitement of the down-to-the-wire title fight, with Hamilton's lead now cut to 5 points with 2 races left. But their behind-the-scenes-intervention antics has left me so seriously disgusted~

Then again, credit to Alonso, for winning his first "real" race this season. He kept a low profile, avoided doing anything at all apart from winning, such that the FIA couldn't any penalty on him, unless they decide to penalize him for driving fast and for not doing anything wrong. But then, I really respect this guy, for dragging the Renault team from a Q3 team to a race winning team. In this respect, he's really a deserving multiple-champion, in the mold of Shumi. Don't think he has any parallels in F1 currently. If only he didn't show his C*B side last year~
