I agree. That would've been awful. "Remember that spring from my car that nearly took you out last year? Yeah, that didn't work. Let's try a steering wheel instead."
As an aside, however, the stewards no longer have the authority to investigate incidents on their own. The race director (Charlie Whiting) must request an investigation in order for the stewards to investigate. And Charlie didn't request one for what Barichello did, so there's not much the stewards can do. I believe I heard the guys on Speed explain that this provision is new for 2010.
