i think people are expecting the yellow card system to be a punishment as common as a point penalty. i think they're wrong. the yellow card is probably a last resort thing to let the teams know that the refs are still in total control and if they feel that the teams re getting out fo hand they'll pull one and that keeps a check in teh back of the drivers minds that hopefully keeps them from being as aggresive for future rounds. as far as unfair calls. has anyone ever watched a football game? how many late hits, and illegal hits do you see that arent called? and also how many calls do you see where you want to scream cuz it was a bad call. it's all part of the game and it's something players and coaches have gotten used to. so my advice is if you get a yellow card dont complain, even if you think you dont deserve it, and if you think teh other team deserved one but they didnt get it, dont complain that it's unfair cuz maybe the ref just missed it. there is a lot to watch in one match. it's ok to clarify with the head ref after a match, i personally do that all the time, it actually puts your minds at ease most of the time, you should try it. but don't complain that they made bad calls, it's hard to call a perfect game dont make there job harder. if you want kindly ask them what they thought of the play, but don't get mad because the call didnt go your way. that's all part of life.
