Unlike the Pakistani cricket team bowlers, Felipe Massa appears to have escaped punishment for over-stepping his own white line at the start of the Belgian Grand Prix.

Footage on youtube clearly shows Massa significantly over-running his grid slot before the start of the race with almost half of his Ferrari past the front of his grid box.

Massa went on to finish the race in fourth although the FIA may well have issued him with a penalty if they deemed he gained a significant advantage at the start.
