More evidence F1 is turning into WWE

They're actually giving Bourdais a time penalty for driving out of the pits? They're really just coming up with stuff now to get Ferrari a world title.

What's next? Massa gets an automatic pole position in the next race? Hamilton gets pushed back on the grid for wearing green on Fridays? Ferrari can freely take shortcuts on all circuits?

Seriously, if you want to be a sports entertainment company, just give Vince McMahon a ring. Or get Vince Russo. Then we'll probably get sudden and silly rule changes, like suddenly having to go in the opposite direction, or having to take 10 m jumps. We'll probably also get ridiculous soap opera stories, like Lewis Hamilton's dad sleeping with one of the race queens, or Raikonnen getting a wedgie from Alonso. We'll get toilet humour like Massa having to drive in a seat for two hours, which Ron Dennis just shit and pissed on.
