Finn should have been forced to start from the back of the grid in Monaco according to rules.

I bet Dr VJ withed Kimi had started from the back!
Also, who'd a thunk that another team Would have recieved a penalty for giving Sutil "one up the chute"?

It may be true that rules don't always apply to all. Hamilton may be but back on the race track with a crane while others cannot even be pushed back on the track.

It's a shame the way Speed TV only see wrong on Ferrari team; even the comments made during the transmission by those Three Stooges are pathetic, they should wear McLaren outfits on the air with a big British flag as a background.

Ferrari always gets away with bending/breaking the rules!!! If he'd been made to start from the rear, then maybe poor Sutil would've been able to finish in 4th place, instead of being taken out by Kimi!

It'd be nice if we were all perfect, but we're human, as are the race stewards. People make mistakes, and that's what happened. I'm no Ferrari apologist, far from it, but Kimi WAS penalized, and finished out of the points, so no harm, no foul.

Everone, this happens for the front runners in almost every year I can remember since the days of Stewart.

Sutil would not have scored points at Monaco
...Steward Paul Gutjahr confirmed: "We would have had to give him a 25-second penalty, because he overtook three cars under yellow flags after the Alonso-Heidfeld collision at the hairpin."
A 25-second penalty would have dropped Sutil from fourth to at least 10th place.

You guys have to stop saying that if the "Finn" was penalized Sutil would been score 5 points for 4th place.BIG MISTAKE Sutil would be also penalized 'cause he passed two car under yellow flag, right after the crash between Alonso and Heidfeld. No excuses.Watch the Race guys, and stop to listen those Three Stooges
