The FIA looks really stupid and indecisive. First they announce that the incident of Ves cutting the corner would be investigated "after the race" despite the obvious fact that it would directly impact who goes on the podium. This created a very dangerous situation with Ves blocking Vettel and allowing Ricardo to catch up and make one desperate attempt at a pass. I understand giving Ves a penalty. Vettel had caught up and was positioned to pass him. After running off track, Ves's own team told him to give up the position. Had he done so, Vettel would have likely finished 3rd and Ricardo would not have gotten near him in time for the finish. By not ruling immediately on the first action FIA created a dangerous situation with all three drivers feeling like there were no rules in effect.
