For the love of...

Once more, the final race results have been changed AGAIN after the race. Seriously, is there any credibility left in this sport at all?

The bad luck of Sebastien Bourdais continues. After driving a solid race, which saw the Frenchman outscore his team-mate, has now been scuppered by a 25-second penalty for, well, I’m not exactly sure what. The incident was with Massa as Bourdais exited the pit. The Brazilian made a run down the outside and connected with the Toro Rosso, spinning the Ferrari.

Massa lost about five seconds and continued on his merry way. There wasn’t much in it and I didn’t see it for much more than a racing incident. Race stewards – how do you expect for people to see you as impartial if you make silly calls like this. You just feed the hatred and the conspiracy theories that have people cooked up in their parent’s basement, spamming forums with to get their attention.

The result moves Bourdais to tenth, propping Massa up to seventh and Webber to eight. The extra point reduces the championship gap to five points.
