Aha! So you have viewed the footage!
I have not assigned 'deliberate' to Massa's move, I merely put forward that Lewis may have a case in suggesting that Massa made contact deliberatelly, especially viewing the video evidence. However we will never know the truth, only Massa himself can honestly tell us if he actually ment to make contact with Lewis, and he will deny it honest or not indefinitely.
Besides this is not the dispute! My dispute is whether Massa's move on Lewis, that ended up in Lewis spinning WAS worthy of a penalty!
Viewing the video COUNTLESS times I the only conculsion I can draw is that Massa WAS to blame for Lewis pointing in the wrong direction, it was TOTALLY his fault, no-one influenced the move but himself therefore it was NOT a racing incident. Thus the decision to penalise Massa was the correct decision!
You mention Hamiltons move, I assume on Kimi... because I can see no wrong doing at all with his move on Massa leading up to the incident we are disputing. Of course Hamiltons move on Kimi was deliberate! He was trying to overtake! (just like Massa!), Yes it was very stupid, but the DIFFERENCE between the two moves is Hamilton DID NOT make contact with Kimi, Massa DID make contact with Hamilton.
Had Hamilton made contact with Kimi (or anyone else to that matter) inwhich I fully admit he was very lucky not to, I would be all for a penalty to be imposed!
However since no contact was made between Hamilton and Kimi, and it was Kovy that 'forced the red car wide' (inwhich he was totally entitled to do) at the first corner, yet Lewis was given a penalty for pusing Kimi wide! It makes no sense - that is why I dispute Lewis' penalty!
As for Webber, as stated earlier, we both agree on this part (at least!).
Never the less, rock on next round - lets see what havoc can be produced for us to argue about this time next week!!
