So you like Ferrari winning?

People always say that FIA favour Ferrari over other F1 teams, and, after the previous 3 years at their home race, Monza, it's now becoming clear that that is the case.

2011 Monza - Fernando Alonso (Ferrari) forces Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull) onto the grass and gravel on the outside of the flat-out Curve Grande corner as the German tries to pass him for the lead of the Grand Prix. Vettel keeps his foot flat to the floor, and gets past, in the best overtake of his career.

2012 Monza - Vettel returns the favour on Alonso. For once, Vettel being famed for lack of overtaking ability, whilst Alonso being famed as a warrior, ends up being a farce, as Alonso immediately backs out of the move, before complaining on the team radio. Vettel gets a drive-through penalty.

2013 Spa - Sergio Perez (McLaren) makes a valid DRS-assisted pass on Lotus' Romain Grosjean along the Kemmel Straight. Thinking he is past, the Mexican moves over on the Frenchman, forcing him onto the outside kerb, and Grosjean aborts Les Combes, feeling he'll only cause a crash. Perez is given a drive-through penalty for forcing another car off of the track, when 2 of Grosjean's 4 wheels were beyond the white line that marks the track, and the incident had very little impact on the Frenchman's race.

2013 Monza - Fernando Alonso attempts to pass Red Bull's Mark Webber entering the Variante della Roggia chicane. The two enter side-by-side, go through side-by-side, before Alonso cuts across Webber on the exit, preventing the Australian from getting on the power, before making slight contact with his front wing, causing damage very similar to that that caused Kimi Raikkonen to pit for repairs as it slowed him down. This could've cost Webber 2nd place, and Red Bull a 1-2 finish. Alonso received 0 penalties.

People are complaining about steward inconsistencies, and this is a big one right here.
