When was the last time the FIA penalized Ferrari for something? Kimi's crash against Sutil in Monaco was as bannable as Hamilton with Kimi in Canada, but of course, Kimi uses a red car, so he gets by. The amount of times a chicane is cutted is enormous, and Lewis let Kimi pass him after the move, what's his fault if Kimi's car is so slow that he can't withstand the next turn without getting passed. If Lewis instead of passing him in La Source had waited to overtake him in, say, Les Combes, or Rivage, they would have no grounds, but Kimi's car was slow (noted by the difference Lewis was shrinking after the rain had begun), Lewis was gonna overtake him. It just happened that he overtook Kimi in the next turn.

 

It's happened more and more recently, with the elimination of traction control, so yeah, it seems ridiculous that a chicane gets a disqualification, whereas a takeout gets nothing.

Link to sutil crash, I personally have no idea what they are saying, as I can't understand German . Oddly, there is very little of this crash footage on the internet!
