Formula 1 - Is it Racism or Favourtism?

I'm disgusted at the decision of the F1A to strip Hamilton of his win in the Belgian Grand Prix and I believe something needs to be done before people lose interest in Formula 1.

The question I have is, Is the F1A just racists or simple favour Ferrari? Schumacher was my man and I supported Ferrari until I got tired of how they always the 'best' decision from the F1A bosses.

Come on now. Share your views. I'm sick of this disgraceful decisions. Yuk!!!!!

So it's race-sm and Ferratism! Interesting but disgusting on the reputation of F1A. Someone told me FIA stands for f3c@xg Idiot Axhxles. My keyboard kinda gained advantage over my thinking!!

Ok, before I post my answer, don't all freak out and wack me over the head with a mop.

Not a major follower of F1 but come on, Hamilton is the favourite given the fact that he is a Brit and the F1 is Brit owned. No racism just favouritism and based on that they have to penalize Hamiliton to 'demonstrate" fairness. Just listen to the comentators...its all about hamilton, hamilton, hamilton....

Good on him but to answer the question, racism is not "practiced" in F1.

How fair is this politics? Or is it politricks? If they want to see Ferrari win, they should tell us and we'll all applaud them instead of wasting our precious time watching a tense race only to be decided off track.

I can smell something fishy!! And It Stinks!!

F1 is not racist and teh FIA is not biased towards Ferrari. When Shumacher raced, he also had Ross Brawn as the tactician and technical guru. He used the rules to his advantage . Sometimes "bending" them, but not breaking them.

McLaren and Mercedes need to pull their finger out and stop whining.
