On another topic, what do you guys think about Schumi's penalty? Personally, although i think the vast majority of the blame did lie with him, i do think it was just another racing incident and not the product of dangerous driving per say. Must be so bizarre for a man like Schumi, considering how he was once able to get away with deliberately driving into other cars, and now he can't get away with making a genuine unintentional mistake. I just think things have gone too far with the interference from above.
Another example was the business with Vettel's penalty. In the replay Button was right on his tail when the yellow flags were being waved. Perhaps Button didn't set fastest sector time, but he looked to be keeping pace with Vettel. Just seemed a bit unfair. Perhaps there was more too it.

I agree. The majority of the blame for the Schumi incident rested on Schumi
Even so, initially I thought it was a 'racing incident' and un-deserving of a penalty but, thinking about it, at the back of my mind I have a feeling that he often gets too close to cars before overtaking? If so, then perhaps the stewards were trying to make a point?

Not sure about Vettel's penalty but have to assume that there was some form of incriminating evidence against him and Massa.
