I love the whole "Well Jenson was coming in the next lap anyway" problem is these two have never been fighting at the front of the grid, man will they love the blue flags and hate anyone who takes that stance on it if they ever get to the front of the grid.
And did Bruno ever look like he was having a good race this weekend? I must have missed it during the continued fighting with Timo Glock.
Plus I'm no fan of blue flags and not sure which accidents these were but I did see a car basically making the car lapping them go the long way around their car was that Bruno on Jenson? Or someone on Hamilton because I thought that was wrong.

I think the stewards got it right. At the end of the day, blue flags are waved for a reason and as Anna said, perhaps those guys would understand and appreciate that rule a bit more if they were at the front! The TV coverage clearly showed both Maldonado (on more than one occasion!) and Senna refusing to move aside so their punishments were deserved, in my opinion.

I don't like blue flags, but like a lot of things its illegal to ignore them and they did ignore them. Yes blue flags get on everyones wick but your happy enough to use them when YOUR in traffic so don't be difficult when you get them.
I didn't mind team orders but I got annoyed when they were illegal and it was obvious people used them because it was against the rules and breaking rules is bad sportsmanship whether or not what your doing makes sense in the long run. For Maldonado and Senna it didn't make much sense, Bruno wasn't going to lose much for letting a leader through, if he hadn't been so slow and him and his team hadn't been having a bad weekend maybe he wouldn't have needed to be blue flagged THAT is what he has to worry about not complaining about having to give way.
And Bruno's whole "Jenson pitted the next lap anyway" shows either he's an idiot or he doesn't know enough about F1. The laps leading up to a pit stop can actually be some of the most important, in fact knowing that Jenson was coming in that lap after the fact and still complaining about it shows a real lack of knowledge of the importance of the laps around pit stops. For some people it isn't just a touch up for your car, for some its actually important. Whether or not it was in this race isn't important as Bruno wouldn't know what was important for Jenson at that time. For all he knew Jenson was being held up by him and whoever was in chase was catching him.
