This has really really wound me up.
What my comment or the whole thing in general?

Have a glass of vino.

It is corrupt Luci, even if McLaren did appeal i doubt the FIA will back down.

I blame the Nazi prostitute shagger.

I thought at the time that manoeuvre would cause problems. I'm not sure Hamilton backed off enough, 6km/h isn't much at all.

That said Hamilton was right in the slipstream of Kimi before that, he'd have finished there after the corner, had he been able to stay behind.

Not sure he gained an advantage, especially when you consider Kimi didn't even finish!

As someone said earlier, no point in watching Forumal One anymore that is ridiculous.

McLaren are appealing, or rather are intending to. It's not 100% clear whether they can appeal a stop/go penalty.

The result of the appeal will be .... ... ... McLaren handed suspended fine for daring to challenge.

Oh joy, isn't it the Italian GP next.

Ridiculous. That is all.

Feel very sorry for Raikkonen, his drive didn't warrant ending in the wall, and if the weather hadn't intervened, he would have deservedly done so.

Spa really is an awesome track. I went to the famous '98 GP (the pile up/Schumacher vs Coulthard punch up and Damon Hill winning in a Jordan race). Standing at the top of Eau Rouge watching cars come blasting through flat out is a nerve tingling experience. Standing at the bottom and looking up then makes you respect them even more - boy is that hill steep (much more so than it looks on TV).

i flicked over to see the last 6 laps or so, the last 3 or 4 laps had even my mum shouting for Hamilton.


as for THAT overtaking manouver and subsequent corner cutting, Lewis was 3/4 the way past Kimi and i'm pretty sure in the eyes of the law thats a pass. Kimi played rough, pushing him wide, and locked up. hamilton would've ended up on the grass/in the gravel had he tried to make it round the corner, kimi's tactics would have worked. hamilton took the smart option, relinquished the place, i dont see a problem.

the FIA have ferrari's cock firmly in their mouths, they always have done. it makes a fucking mockery of the sport, the most exciting finish to a race in ages and the FIA take offense to it. typical.

Small point of order Leggest old boy. It was the RACE stewards that applied the penalty, albeit one would assume they are representatives of the FIA in some way, shape or form. I recall Ron Dennis' interview with ITV yesterday, when he stated they immediatedly asked Charlie Whiting whether the move was acceptable and was, I believe, told it was OK.

I totally agree with your analysis though, the move looked perfectly fine to me. With hindsight though, I just wonder whether Lewis' faux pas was to pass at La Source rather than wait until later in the lap......

If Lewis was white, German or drove for Ferarri, there would be no penalty. Just as there was no penalty last weekend for Ferrarri almost causing a pile up in the pits.

Ex-Ferrari driver Lauder not too pleased:

But (predictably) much much funnier is ex-Ferrari driver Eddie Irvine, I think he's trying to get his trip to Italy cancelled:
