    Lol now the Italians and Spanish are claiming the green flag being waved is fake lol! So what green flag was I seeing on both official BBC and Sky streams showed on the news then? The one the FIA say is there and the majority of teams say is there lol!

    Both countries sinking lower and lower in the worldwide opinion!

    No wonder FOM has taken all these videos down from youtube, they are making it up as they go lol.

    Whatever next from this lot? No millions of Jews died in WW2? 9/11 was plotted by the US government? The moon landing never happend? The world is flat? Elvis Presley isn't dead he is just in hiding?

    ;) No, I was just curious. It does look like the guy from Boney M though.

    F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone: Vettel pass furore a complete joke

    Ecclestone believes the situation has detracted from what was a thrilling end to the season.

    Ecclestone is convinced nothing will happen despite the controversy.

    The F1 boss also feels Ferrari's call for a clarification comes too late.

    Sussed it...

    Reckon the FIA ****ed up the placement of the flashing light for post 4, Forza if you got google earth look it up. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en...=X&ei=LJq3UKbZIoKd0AWCqoDoDQ&ved=0CKUBEPwSMAI

    See marshal post 4 on this google map? Now look slightly further up the track and you will see the light placement for post 4, about 20-30 meters past the post itself.

    Now look at the "official placement" of where the flashing panel is meant to be at:

    It's not that near to post 4 in person is it Forza? You and me can both see that. It's still in the MS3 sector though, post 5 is the line for MS4 which Seb overtook in.

    Somebody ****ed up, and it wasn't Seb that's for sure!

    How could they **** up something so simple like this? How could they cause this amount of confusion by placing it so late in MS3 and so far away from post 4? to make it look like it's for MS4 when it's not.

    You can see why Ferrari have protested this but the digger you deep the more and more it looks like the FIA was at fault for ****ing up the placement. The light panel is for post 4, post 4 cannot tell the driver what to do in MS4 (officially), only MS3, but by the time you get to that light panel MS3 is almost over within 10-15 meters to post 5 and sector MS4.

    It's a track flaw of the highest level that that light system is so far away from it's designated marshal post. The only people who deserve the penalty are the pillocks who put this panel in the wrong place! <doh>

    Hold me to it, but that will be moved back next year, you watch!

    I think your Quantum Physics may have outdone my Thermodynamics

    I don't really get the quantum part, the instrumentation side is the part which I often think would be better flying out of the window <laugh>

    Anything with quantum in the title tends to be quite difficult to understand at times, at least to me

    In all seriousness, you'd think in this highest tech sport and considering the potential implications, that the FIA would have some official record of which flags were being waved. I mean, wouldn't you?
