Just For Starters, Hamilton's Penalty Reeks Of Double Standards
No doubt Hamilton will also have a struggle to understand precisely why the stewards singled him out for retrospective penalty for allegedly making more than one move when defending against Fernando Alonso given that Vettel made three separate distinct moves to block the McLaren off the line into the first corner.
It may be the case that the stewards took the reprimand given to Hamilton last year when he tried to break the tow to Vitaly Petrov into account when imposing his 20-second penalty, but the absence of any sort of reprimand, let alone a tangible punishment, against Vettel two weeks after he was permitted to leave the race track to pass the already-penalised Jenson Button reeks of a double whammy of double standards.

I don't think either driver needed a penalty. Racing incident IMO. In the end of the day it meant nothing but a slap on the wrist to Fred, and -1pt for Ham.Its double standards for sure or some weird agenda, but youre allowed to make as many moves as you like down into T1 at the start

seems like they dont do shit to him for being a retard, and the retard crashed out in the end didnt he?I agree, seems a bit pointless.

Awwww....
Renault driver Nick Heidfeld has paid homage to Robert Kubica through an open letter on his website.
After being dropped by Sauber at the end of last season, Heidfeld was given an unexpected lifeline by Renault when they handed him a race seat in place of Kubica who suffered career-threatening injuries during a rally accident in Italy before the season started.
"I printed your logo on the front of my helmet, and the Polish flag on the side," Heidfeld wrote. "I wanted you to see that and to let you know that I'm thinking of you. I wanted to show your fans that you are a part of Formula 1 and of this team."
The German bounced back from a disappointing start to the season-opener in Australia with a third-place finish at the Malaysia Grand Prix and dedicated his podium to Kubica.
"This 3rd place is also yours!" he added. "During the race I had often been thinking of you. Crossing the finish line, happiness totally flooded my head. I know what you are thinking right now: 'Lotus-Renault has built such a wonderful car this year. I want to get back as soon as possible and drive it!' You can do it, I wish you all the best for your rehabilitation. Get well soon!
