took his first drive-through and then, on the second, just stopped the car in the pit and walked off.........
Hi Mr E
Is there not a ruling about stop go penalties. I thought that after a number of these the driver is disqualified (black flagged) more really for the safety of everyone. Red haze tends to over-ride brain and the driver\rider might feel aggrieved at the officials decision and go on to do something silly.
I see it has not taken long before Ferrari are accused of cheating.
This time though not by Ron Dennis, or Frank Williams.
Ferrari boss Jean Todt has insisted that the team are not cheating as sniping continues in the pitlane over the 248 F1's controversial rear wing.
Several teams are believed to have complained about the wing, claiming it deflects - a clear breach of the rules.
"I'm not happy. I know exactly what that wing does and it is not what I would expect," complained Renault's Pat Symonds.
Attempting to play down the furore, Todt responded: "It is good when people start to take an interest in Ferrari again. It demonstrates that we are back at the top again."
"If the FIA say there is a problem then our technical team will come to me, but the FIA has no problem."
Was it McLaren that had the 'flexi' wing that above a certain speed simply 'distorted' under pressure.
As if Ferrari would cheat??
Even more relevant...
As if the FIA would do anything about it?
If BAR were still in existance I bet they would be interested?

Edit:
Heidfield has been reprimanded for his driving this week-end. I must confess that I was impressed by the skill shown by both drivers.
Still who am I
Nick Heidfeld may have enjoyed his tussle with David Coulthard at the Bahrain Grand Prix, however, the Sakhir race stewards didn't and have reprimanded him for forcing the Scot off the track.
15 laps into the 57-lap race, Heidfeld took 12th place off Coulthard when he won what he called a "particularly exciting battle" by pushing the Scot wide and slipping through.
However, the Sakhir race stewards weren't as impressed and following the race reprimanded the BMW drive for his aggressive driving.
A statement issued by the FIA said: "The Stewards, after hearing the explanation of both the drivers and viewing video recording of the incident, determine that the driver Nick Heidfeld was involved in an incident as defined by Article 52 of the 2006 Formula 1 Sporting Regulations in that he forced the car driven by David Coulthard off the track.
"The Stewards accordingly reprimand the driver of car number 16 Nick Heidfeld
