I just don't get it.

Weaving in Malaysia: Wasn't dangerous + Hamilton wasn't blocking in a breaking area. Got a warning & rules have been cleared up. They can't go giving penalties for retrespective rule changes like they did in Spa although he won't be doing that again.

After being squeezed by Vettel - racing incident, caused I believe by Button being very slow behind the safety car. Plus Webber deals it out all the time so he can take it.

Alonso is a cheat, but not Hamilton?

To be fair, jumping the start is pretty blatant.

They should've black flagged Hamilton for his tricks.

Button and Rosberg drove great, as did Alonso, even with the drive-through. I can't understand why all Hamilton's screw ups get solved _after_ the race when every one else gets their punishment while the race is going.

If Hamilton had been punished, so should Vettel & Alonso for doing that move on Massa. Hamilton was released at the same time as Vettel (ok 1 sec later). Didn't get grip and came out side by side. Hamilton should have yielded, but then Vettel shouldn't have pushed him into the Mechanics. I'm personally gald the stewards are using common sense - racing incident, wasn't dangerous - doesn't ruin the next race.

Based on the above, should we also have punished:

Webber going into Hamilton at Australia - worse than what Hamliton did today + if it hadn't have happened Hamilton would now be leading the drivers championship?

Alonson causing the collision at the start of Australia?

Vettel for overtaking in yellow flag zone in Malaysia?

There is some hatred on here towards Hamilton despite another fantastic race today. Watching the highlights show it was 75% Hamilton overtaking just about everyone again including a superb double overtake on Sutil & Vettel - The start to this season (bahrain aside) has been really exciting, not sure if that would have been the case if Hamilton wasn't there and the only reason people want him penalised is because the last thing anyone on the grid wants to hear are the words: "Hamiltons coming up behind and he's quick". In the words of Alonso: "I don't want to know!"

Button had a great race today, although once again a marginal call went for him.

Roseberg did well, although Alonso had a great race coming 4th despite the drive through. It will be interesting to see how it pans out with a fully dry qualifying / race.

An honourable mention goes to Petrov.
