Im watching the GP2 race and Senna was released from his pit in almost a carbon copy of Massa's release at Valencia. He got some wheelspin which put him close to another car but no contact was made and no car delayed. Sena has a drive through which will stuff his championship. Massa didnt! Where is the consistency here!!

They showed the replay of that on the F1 qualifying program, and it was very similar. What do you expect though, Senna's not driving in a prancing horse.

Well if they're not biased they are at least grossly incompetent. They couldnt police a school playground!

Massa drives for Ferrari, the greatest team in F1 today. There is your reason why. And hopefully something is done about Lewis Hamilton tomorrow as he is starting to become a problem. He either needs to leave McLaren for Ferrari or not win. Simple.

Hello, guys and gals. I'm back again and am still getting up to speed with what has been going on in the Formula One world. Inconsistency and biased decisions are not new in the sport. It's been going on for decades. Even the appointment of a chief steward has not helped matters even slightly. If there's no bias involved, there's incompetence, or visa versa, or a mixture of the two. I don't expect the FIA and Ecclestone will sort this pressing issue out, for they love to be able to engineer exciting finishes to the seasons and as a means to check any dissent from people and teams in the sport.

In todays GP2 race Bruno Senna was given a drive through penalty for an "unsafe release" from the pit bay. The penalty cost the Brazilian the race win and 10 crucial world championship points. Senna commented in an interview after the race that the penalty was not consistent as he himself had been impeded in the pit lanes this season. Also, he said, the officials were not taking track conditions into account that caused him some wheel spin and thus a slow pit exit. Such things, he continued, are "impossible for the team to calculate".

The incident is very reminiscient of Felipe Massa's pit exit at the new Valencia race circuit a fortnight ago. His unsafe pit exit however went unpenalised during the race itself meaning Massa could continue to secure his win. Both of these incidents resulted in side by side cars down a narrow pit lane, and then both Massa and Senna slow up to slot in behind their competitor's car in their respective incidents. Despite the seemingly identical nature of these two incidents Bruno Senna was forced to conceed his win, where as Felipe Massa was not. The debate over the lack of consistency of the officials decisions will surely continue as a result, as well as the suspicions that the officials tend to be more leaniant towards mistakes made by F1 team Ferrari.

Repost: see "Stewards show inconsistency yet again!!"

I get the feeling the stewards were trying to be consistent actually...they imposed a drive through penalty for Chandok (?) last race, so I think they felt they had to penalise Senna, which was a shame. And although it was a similar incident to Massa, it's hard to compare the two because they are different series even if they are roughly the same. I don't think they should have penalised him though

Does anyone know what happened to the driver that had the massive smash mid-way through the race?

And is it just me or is GP2 a lot more interesting than F1 at the moment

But the decision to give Senna a drive through penalty almost killed the GP2 season premature if weren't for Pantano's bad luck followed by poor driving. I was fuming.
