Breaking news on the BBC says Hamilton has been stripped of the win .... given a 25 second penalty, which demoted him to third ..

Re: F1 - Belgium GP 2008
it's so wrong. Hamilton obviously yielded the position initially, then won it back at the next corner - the FIA need to get their noses out of Ferrari's backside....

Subject to the Stewards investigation, which could bugger up the result.

If Hamilton had directly affected Raikkonen going off I would agree with the penalty, as it was, any debatable advantage gained during the overtaking manoeuvre was negated by Kimi's crash....
That assumes the reason for the penalty was to do with the 'tit for tat' overtaking battle between Hamilton & Raikkonen - if it was, then I believe it was based on an unfair assessment of what happened???

Re: Formula 1 2008 Season
Ferrari Interanational Assistance does it again
F1 is rapidly losing all respect in my house

Re: Formula 1 2008 Season
yep, and they'll keep handing out these non-sensical penalties because no one's there to stop them.
I hope Mclaren appeal, because it'd mean that the decision would be opened up to scrutiny.
Lewis gave Kimi the place back that he gained through going cutting the corner. Corner cutting or not, Masa would still have stood no chance of winning. Therefore, after Kimi had crashed out, Lewis gained none or negligable advantage over Masa, certainly nothing that would have altered the race result.

Re: Formula 1 2008 Season
I can see the breakaway happening sooner rather than later now this has happened to Hammilton who drove his arse off in the wet for the last 4-5 laps to gain a win. Where do they get off giving out a 25sec penalty when Massa got off scott free in the last race for his pit lane incident.
The FIA have a lot to answer for and it wont be long before Bernie starts crying into his lost billions.
I can see Formula1 in a couple of years being staged by Ferrari, run by Ferrari and contain 2 drivers both belonging Ferrari, which by all accounts is the defacto status of Ferrari now, they think they own F1 and the FIA let them think that too.
I lost heart in F1 about 7-8 years ago with all the rules that started coming in, an avid armchair supporter I once was. This season I have got back into it and mostly enjoyed the racing but todays farce has just reinforced what I suspected if you overtake Ferrari or hamper them in any way in the last 10% of a race then you stand a very good chance of being investigated for the smallest of things.
