lol, I am indeed a Ferrari fan. I had to bring that incident up coz it was just as blatant as the Schumi/Barrichello incident.

But I must admit, there's been some dodgy decisions this year, most in favour of Ferrari. However, read this just now....

"Another behind-the-scenes story, which contributes to the outcomes we are seeing, is the Bridgestone tyre selection this season.

Because the McLaren and Ferrari cars use their tyres quite differently, one team is always going to get a slight advantage from the compounds Bridgestone bring.

Basically the softer the compounds are the better it is for Ferrari, the harder they are it helps McLaren.

As a rule the Ferrari works the tyre less over a 20-lap stint and thus is faster in race conditions, whereas the McLaren uses up its tyres more quickly.

Ferrari’s boss Stefano Domenicali compared this race to Hockenheim where Hamilton’s McLaren was surprisingly dominant, and it is interesting that the choice of tyres there was the same as here, medium and hard. Ferrari would have liked them to be a step softer.

The same could well be true in Brazil where last year they took super-soft and soft and Ferrari dominated. This year Bridgestone has nominated soft and medium, which will play more to McLaren’s strengths." - James Allen (quoting him again, what has the world come to)

... Not everything is stacked in Ferrari's favour!
