Looking forward to night race

I cannot understand what is the big deal with the ruling on Hamilton's case. I thought it was so clear that he gained an advantage over raikkonen after cutting the bus stop chiccane or whatever it is called. Yes he did let Raikkonen through but it was so obvious that he got the momentum with him. So yes he slowed down like 5 kmh or so but that doesnt mean anything as with his momentum he could effortlessly pass Raikkonen again.

So much has been written about the FIA being biased and favouring Ferrari and I dont quite agree with that. Maybe its a case of english journalists/commentators favouring a british team and driver. There was a point raised about Raikkonen ramming into Sutil at Monaco and he wasnt penalised, but I thought that was not his fault at all as clearly he lost control of his car after running over a puddle of water. And I am not a fan of Hamiltons at all. He seemingly is becoming the second Montoya and looked really careless and unreasonable in recent races.

I think it is a two horse race between Massa and Hamilton. But it is still one of the more unpredictable and exciting seasons and anythin can happen to open up the race again. Especially with the Singapore night race coming this weekend adding to the unpredictability factor with huge uncertainties surrounding the race. Sepang is said to do a night race... but Singapore with a racetrack smacked in the middle of the city at night.... and Sepang in middle of palm oil estate???
