are you a lawyer by any chance Denthúl

Nah. I was tempted to study law at university, but I don't think I'd make the cut, to be honest. Besides, I prefer the easy-going nature of working in IT. It's what I know and one of the few things I'm naturally talented with.

Wish I had a lawyer's wage packet, mind you.

...refinement would at least help to penalise only the parties involved, to make it fairer.

I agree that there is room for refinement, but that's a different kettle of fish. Under the current set of regulations, Ferrari and Massa should have got a drive-through penalty.

Ayrton Senna: WDC 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991
McLaren: WCC 1974, 1984, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1998, 1999, 2007
McLaren: WDC 1974, 1976, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1998, 1999, 2008

Perhaps that would be the suitable punishment under current regulations, however that would bring yet more inconsistency to the FIA's proceedings this year, because it has happened on numerous occasions earlier this year, not least Canada where it did lead to three races being ruined.
