You said it Heretic, Ferrari is not fast enough to beat Williams and in a previous one, you said Qualifying tests the real pace, Strange Enough ;-) Ferraris in both races qualified ahead. 
Also, the judgement has been made saying Michael is at fault and had an understeer. Looks what Michael said is correct, You can look at it from both sides ;-) 
I still wonder why the decisions made by FIA/Stewards always "favour" Ferrari. Aren't the other manufacturers heavyweights in the industry without a *say* and ALWAYS and ONLY Ferrari influences an F1 decision? 
I do agree that a penalty can ruin the race but an ego and a resultant touch too!!! - GOP - The Netherlands (Reference Heretic 4-05 - Two Williams and two Schumachers on the Podium)

The Heretic replies:

Thanks for the response,

True, Ferrari did qualify better in both races so far and if they can get off the line at the start they could have done better in the race.

Ferrari’s problem (with last year’s car) is definitely a lack of straight line pace and Williams seem to have tyres that only perform better than the Bridgestones after they are seriously worn – seeing that this can’t be emulated during qualifying all Michelin shod cars may qualify a little below potential.

Michael clearly stated that he believed that the judgement against Montoya was unfair and I am not arguing with him.

I just feel sorry for spectators at races like Melbourne who go at great personal expense to see their favourite driver race. If he is involved in a first lap accident and is forced to retire they can accept it but when half the fleet races for only half of the pit straight and the race is not restarted it must be very disappointing. Especially if you think that some races are restarted when only one or two key driver crash!
