I think Knockie is referring to incidents relating to this years championship (hence re-calculating the points). These instances have been debated so far stick to memory:

- Rosberg entering pits during safety car: Penalised, but only 10 laps later.
- Kimi driving around with his exhaust pipe flailing, then falling off at racing speed: no penalty
- Kimi running into the back of Sutil at Monaco: No penalty
- Lewis driving into Kimi in pit lane: 10 place penalty on grid next race
- Lewis cutting chicane at Spa: 25s penalty
- Lewis driving into Alonso (losing wing): No penalty
- Trulli driving the wrong way around the track to enter pits: Financial Penalty
- Lewis cutting chicane at France: drive through penalty
- Massa cutting chicane at Monza: no penalty
- Lewis pushing Webber wide at Monza: no penalty
- Lewis pushing Glock wide at Monza: no penalty
- Massa released in front of Sutil (1st time no penalty, 2nd got a penalty)
No wonder Sutil tried to avoid hitting the Ferrari as it came out of pits... if he didn't, he'd have been penalised for causing an avoidable incident!

How many incidents has DC been involved in this year? How many penalties has he received? Actually, all drivers involved in accidents throughout the season deserve penalties if we are to go by the FIA standards.

Thanks. That's a great start and exactly what I was thinking.

I didn't start this thread to debate whether the FIA are favoring a particular team over another but to have a look at what penalties have been applied (or not) and using FIA standards (as in recognised practice and not single instancing as they seem to have been recently) work out what the true situation is.

So, for people that think we are not qualified to be Stewards, I don't disagree as we are not vying to become Stewards. However, we are looking to see what the Stewards have done and what the situation would be if we were Stewards.
