The problems with the stewarding go right down to the policing of the technical regulations.

You can put it down to sour grapes, but clearly he feels hard done by.
Given that the championship was decided by three points these decisions clearly have the ability to make a huge difference. Vettel suffered numerous penalties during 2012 and Alonso had none.
Some of the overtaking incidents where a car was forced wide on the outside and then penalised for leaving the
circuit; avoiding contact?
I sometimes felt that some of the penalties were dished out in lieu of a technical penalty for dubious rule interpretations.
The sport needs to avooid a repeat of the Senna Prost incident where Senna was disqualified for driving through the Chicane at Suzuka and lost the WDC because of it! Belestre and the French mafia.
