That's professional sport for you, the governing bodies protect their investments, they don't want a walk-away winner, they've had that in two of the last 4 seasons, they will keep it tight if they can 'for the good of the show'. There is no reason to ignore the rules for this type of situation unless you have an ulterior motive. Much like the refereeing in the Brazil games in the WC
jesus christ hurry up, after all this Hamilton will probably be past Rosberg in 5-10 laps at which point the race will be over anyway.
Someone elsewhere has posted an interesting image. Looks like Alonso jumped the start in the original start and somehow got away with it please log in to view this image
Alonso has used the hard already. Ferrari fixed this, we are going to find kimi's car has been tampered with... I'm joking.
