Simple,: Lewis' dive up the INSIDE of Massa in the FIRST part of the chicane!
Come ON guys, this is NOT difficilt!
If Lewis was at fault for DIVING up the inside of Kimi at turn 1 and forcing KIMI wide, then he was ALSO guilty of diving up the inside of Massa just before Massa took to the grass!
In truth, I thought that the incident between them was simply a racing accident and NEITHER deserved a penalty at THAT corner! I am being CONSISTENT here! If Hamiliton was in the wrong to do it to Kimi at Spa, then he was WRONG to do it to Massa at Fuji!
However, I don't think Hamilton WAS in the wrong in Spa and thus he was HARDLY in the wrong at ANY of the corners in Fuji because diving up the inside is what they are SUPPOSED TO DO! Yes: he WAS stupid at Fuli but that, on it's OWN, is NOT something for which we SHOULD be penalised! It it were, then so was HK who was the REAL one who took Kimi out and about 50% of the REST of the pack who tooks various OTHERS off the line in the sort of 'dives'!
The things that SHOULD have been penalised were Webber's REPEATED swerves on Massa, Webber's FORCING Massa OFF the track down the straight and Massa's use of the pit lane, outside the white line part of the track and the red stripes! If Webber was NOT at fault, then Massa WAS for USING 'illegal' parts of the track. Is Webber WAS at fault (which he WAS!), then Massa should NOT receive a punsihment for avoidance of an illegal move!
What SHOULDN'T have been punished was: Lewis' first AND second DIVES at the two corners, Massa's SIMILAR dive to get back and, not even in the imagination of a LUNATIC, should Bourdais have been penalised!
