A team has a spring fail in quali, that partially rips a guys face off through his helmet, is still in the hospital in critical condition with no penalty, while another one has a wheel changing error that causes themselves to be embarrased and lose any hope for a good race result.
Seems like an equitable deal.

The Brawn spring could very easily not have hit Massa or anybody in the face. Bits fly off cars all the time without causing anyone else problems. That could very easily have been the case yesterday. Alas, it wasn't. There is no way any blame or penalty can be applied to Brawn. And I think applying one to Renault is wrong, too, no matter what the circumstances. I am convinced that this wouldn't be happening had nothing happened to Massa yesterday and Henry Surtees last weekend — in other words, it's a knee-jerk reaction.
