Those in power admit F1 is very dependent on Ferrari's involvement. This is not the first (or even the 50th) time Ferrari and their opponents have been treated differently under similar circumstances, in what appears to be another puzzling F1 ruling. In my opinion Montoya did not deserve the penalty. It appeared that Michael ran wide at the same time Montoya was leading the Ferrari on the outside of the first corner. Montoya was consistently faster than Michael and had the fastest lap. Michael only made 3rd because Button slowed down by 10 seconds in the last two laps. Having said that, Michael has certainly matured (ever since his accident at Silverstone two years ago) and deserves to be regarded as one of the greatest drivers ever. He could be described as a flawed genius, as most are - just look at Senna. Montoya will likely inherit his crown.
Yeah, Eddie Jordan and Ron Dennis can't be too happy today (with Sato and the Mercedes reliabilty).
