Last week in Japan, Sebastian Vettel ran into the back-end of Mark Webber's car while following Lewis Hamilton and the safety car. Both drivers were unable to finish the race due to the damage caused by the crash. Vettel, who appeared to be following too closely, was subsequently penalized with a 10-place grid penalty and apparently this incident ended there.

But the internet is a beautiful thing, and someone posted a homemade video of the incident on YouTube. The angle of this video, which none of the TV cameras caught, showed that the driver truly responsible for this train-wreck was actually Lewis Hamilton. Lewis Hamilton, who was leading the race at the time, was break testing his car by accelerating real quick, then hammering on his breaks. As the video shows, at the time of the accident, he accelerated so fast he nearly passed the safety car. This is a no-no, so he slammed on his breaks (even harder than before) to stay behind. As a result, Webber right behind Hamilton, nearly drove right past, which is also a no-no, so he too slammed on his breaks and that's when Vettel drove into his rear end.

In other words, if Hamilton doesn't break test his car the way he did, Webber doesn't need to slam on his breaks to avoid passing Hamilton, and Vettel would never have rear-ended Webber.

Ironically, Vettel's penalty may be what does Hamilton in. It set a precedent for at least that race, and with this new video given to the stewards, how are they not going to punish Hamilton in the same way? The rules are equal for everyone and if they decided to simply take back Vettel's penalty it would be obvious they did so only to benefit Hamilton.

So, what's your call? Will the FIA do the right thing and apply the rules equally, thus, punishing Hamilton with a 10-place grid penalty? Or, do they do what they have been doing all season long, showing preferential treatment to the McLaren driver and turn a blind eye?

I know what *should* happen, but I have no faith in the FIA or the stewards that it *will* happen.
