Max Moseley says the in-car data suggests Massa was destabilised by the turbulence from Alonso but conceeds that Alonso was doing nothing deliberate to impeed Massa. Moseley also said that the driver on a out-lap or slow-down lap should step out of the way of a hot-lap driver. Surely with the new qualifying system, an attempt to reach the finish line before the time runs out, so you can get 1 more hot-lap in, should be considered a 'virtual' hot-lap even if it is an out-lap?

Of course.
He interfered with Massa`s qualifying lap as the data showed which is an offense. Alonso was on an out lap and trying to get to the start/finish line to start another lap before the time ran out. Although i think other people would have done the same as Alonso did. He made it to the line with less than 2 seconds to spare and if he has slowed to let Massa past he may not have made it and the lap wouldn't have counted , so yes it was right to penalize Alonso.

A great big no... Formula 1 is making a farce of itself, they are purley trying to give shummacher a championship win to send him off on his last season even by resorting to this fixxing of a racing starting grid. Supperbike racing is much mor entertaining and what racing should be about even GP 2000 has more racing ability involved. A previously great sport thats now a farce is what formula 1 is i for 1 am goin to boycott it untill it turns back into motor racing.

It doesn't really matter what we or max moseley think.The stewards investigated the incident and came up with their decision.In F1 like every other sport you have to take the rough with the smooth.Some of alonsos comments after he had retired sounded more like sour grapes than anything.

Alonso is dangerous, and a crap driver.
The fact that he's the champion is simply a fluke of circumstance.
Raikkonen has so much ability, but has had so much bad luck, blown engines, clutch problems, Etc.,
You just wait for Raikkonen to join Ferrari next year, it will be brilliant!!!

I thought he should have penalised ten places in the grid.

"yes, second place is fantastic, it is perfect weekend for us today" he did that last year to become world champion. i mean what the hell????....let's see you do that again this year 'nano" ...you only got 2pts left in the lead.

Its all nonsense, I hate it when the driver is penalised for something they have no control over.

no, it was totally unfair. Ferrari used their influence to convince the f1 stewards of this decision. compensation for monaco...
