from Autosport: "Time was, blocking meant a driver putting his car on the track in a position to physically impede a following driver. Or, in other words, inviting a collision if the trailing driver followed his normal racing line and speed. Now, the definition apparently extends to merely disturbing the airflow that the following driver might encounter.

It is no doubt possible that the aerodynamic efficiency of Massa's Ferrari was slightly compromised by the wash from Alonso's flying Renault in front. It is also beyond doubt that, if every driver in the sport's history had been penalised for the same offence, we'd have seen more grid penalties than legitimate qualifying times over the years. "

Exactly - let the drivers decide the race IN THE RACE not in the stewards office.
