Cheers for that Sportsman. Bang goes my theory then. But as you say, and I put in my post, with a permanent panel of stewards, at least they are consistantly useless.This nagged at me after the race on Sunday but you can at a strech see a difference between what Button did and what Vettel and Buemi did. If you look at the Button penalty, he used a part of the track that you would never use at any time even if you ran through that part of the circuit a little too wide. He took to a slip road on the right hand side of the chicane marker and used that as part of the circuit. Now in the case of Vettel and Buemi, it has become almost the standard line through that part of the corner to take to that run off bit before coming back on to the track. I would imagine that almost every car at some stage that weekend used that part of track. Much in the same way that every single car without exception put all four wheels on to the astro turf strip after coming off one of the corners (sorry can't remember which one that was). Now I agree that you have to apply the rules in an even handed way but I can see up to a point why no action was taken against Vettel and Buemi.
