The FIA was going to give Massa a post-race drive through penalty after Valencia, but since the 25 seconds would have cost him the win, they gave him a $10,000 fine instead. The issue here is the VERY uneven application of rules with the obvious goal of making sure Ferrari wins the championship.
And Sammy, if Raikonnen, Massa, or Alonso were driving like Hamilton, I bet I'd hear you'd say they were "geniuses" or were "showing everyone who's boss". The whole point of F1 is to be aggressive, or else everyone would finish in the order they started and there wouldn't be a race. Races with no position changes are boring.
The FIA making sure they get the results they want is scandalous and will kill the sport. If no appeal was allowed they could have said that WHEN THE APPEAL WAS MADE three weeks ago, not the day they promised to render a decision.
